Oh, Yian Kut Ku!
Where have you been all my life?
Let me break your head.

I think they'll have to bring back new games.

I'd be fine with reviewing older games that haven't gotten a one-sentence review yet.

I also really liked them, and would love to see them return. If they're not too annoying to write, anyway.

Should've cheated and used a semicolon; that's how One-Sentence Reviews got around it sometimes.

I will admit I have based more than one decision to play or not play a game on One-Sentence Reviews. And it has yet to steer me wrong.

The latest one-sentence reviews were great.

As a gimmick, has anyone tried one-word reviews?

One bullet. One gun. Six Chambers. These are my friends.
I should probably explain why these have been so sporadic.

The past year has been super weird. There are usually a few dry spots on the calendar, but it seemed like those stretches were longer than usual and had fewer games coming out. Also, with the glut of Early Access projects, a ton of games have been eternally circling in a holding pattern. Sometimes an EA game's transition to a full release slips by quietly and I miss it because I am not smart.

On top of all that, I like to run One Sentence Reviews when I have more than a handful of games to write up. That's probably a mistake. Instead of building up a backlog, I'll just start running with whatever came out, even if it's just one game.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Knowing that people enjoy and occasionally wring some use out of these reviews means a lot.

They're honestly really great and you are a good critic/have taste like mine that I agree with. Never regretted a small steam game I purchased under the recommendation you had given.
