Welcome to my Blog!

Here is where I cover some nice little video game reviews of any video game out there: Popular, Niche, Mainstream, Downstream, you name it. If you've came from my website, hi! This is the same Mals. Here's a bit of a background as to why I've started this in the first place:

Background

I originally was a reviewer on a site called Backloggd, a site where you can track down the games you've played, your playing, and the games you want to put on your Backlog/wish list. It's also a review site where the users can post a review of their favorite game using a 5 star system that ranges from 0.5 stars to 5 stars. Started using it after a friend of mine suggested it to me back in Q3 2023, and started making wonderful reviews on there, from small joke ones to ones that exceed over 10k works.

After a while of using it though, I always thought of hosting a site of my own where I don't have to work with the limits of what the site has, and add a bit of passion and love towards my reviews graphically, and during my time of working on my reviews, I started asking people around the communities I'm in if they knew anything about hosting my own Blog of some kind, and one suggested Bear Blog, aka this site.

I immediately made an account, touched my website, and and now all that's needed for me is to make reviews. I know this is a blogging site, but I'm sure that others wouldn't mind me posting my thoughts on Video games here! You can check the "Blog" section for all of the reviews I've worked on.

The Review Process

For new people that are looking at this, here is a quick rundown on how I'm going to write my reviews down:

I always start with a pre-review statement about how I first discovered the game, and some extra thoughts of mine before I started playing the game. Then I would provide some background information about the game's existence and how it came to be, ranging from the developers, to the release dates, and any regional exclusive information that I could find.

I then talk about the Story, Gameplay, Replay Value, Graphics, and the Soundtrack before finishing my review with a Verdict or Other Thoughts: Thoughts I have to say after working on the review and/or playing the game. I also follow through the same system as Backloggd's except instead of the stars, I just show my exact rating of it (e.g: 4.5/5) on the title of the review and that the end of the review. I also have the following circles next to my profile to indicate whether or not I've completed it or not:

• ✨= 10k+ (This review has 10 thousand words and counting)
• 🚨= Spoiler Warning (This review contains spoilers)
• 💀= Cheated (Cheats have been used in the playthrough through any capacity)

• ⭕= Played (Nothing specific)
• 🟠= Shelved (Put down, but might play again sometime)
• 🔵= Retired (Finished a game that lacks an ending)
• 🟢= Completed (Finished the main objective)
• 🔴= Abandoned (Put down and will barely/never play again)
• 🟣= Mastered (use in addendum to the above) (Know the game from the ground up)

That's all I have to say for now. If want to start reading my reviews, check the "Blog" already!
