Incline RPG Codex's Best RPGs - 2024 - VOTING IS CLOSED

[mediocrepoet]

I'll try and write something for Elden Ring. I could write something for Wrath, but haven't because although I have triple digit hours in it, it's mostly from EA and mostly from the first few acts. I've never completed the stupid thing, so if there's a criticism of the late acts (and I'm sure there are many), I wouldn't be aware of it so it'd be an IGN review, not a Codex review.

Really? You guys couldn't get one more review in for ER? I guess it's too late now. Poet, you, me and Lyric Suite must all share the blame for this.

Are 2 reviews needed for every single new game? Some of these are really long and if you compare to the 2019 list, sometimes they'd have 3 reviews but combined still the same length or shorter. I think you can get away with it, especially if those voting for games don't feel the need to write a review.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting. The 2019 list is a little inconsistent about review length. Sometimes it's a single paragraph, other times it's several. At 250-350 words, the reviews I've solicited might average longer, but not to an inappropriate degree. I don't mind having 3 shorter reviews instead of 2 longer ones, if people feel intimidated by 250 words.

I was thinking more of a suggestion/getting your thoughts about delaying things due to lack of reviews (i.e. only 1) if that one review is quite long and covers all major aspects.

It's not ideal. I think it's desirable that each game gets more than one perspective, even if both reviewers agree that it's a masterpiece or whatever. But I can live with it if nobody steps up.

By my count, we still lack one review each for Caves of Lore, Wrath of the Righteous, Elden Ring, Avernum: Escape from the Pit, and Colony Ship.

As for colony ship, Beans00 wrote one here so you should have 2 with mine, unless you consider it not positive enough
