- azernik 11y agoI'd like to point out that there are lots of "reviews" that only tangentially mention the thing they're ostensibly reviewing, but are still very good and worthwhile pieces of writing (see some of Orwell's essays, for example). The problem are: a) this insists on pretending that it's still about the game (assigning a numeric rating, making the concluding paragraphs refer to the game) b) the writing is terrible. For some examples of this not-really-review genre done well, see [http://orwell.ru/library/reviews/kipling/english/e_rkip http://orwell.ru/library/reviews/kipling/english/e_rkip] or [http://orwell.ru/library/reviews/gandhi/english/e_gandhi http://orwell.ru/library/reviews/gandhi/english/e_gandhi]
