How and why you should review indie games
/
Game reviews are so important for an indie developer like us!
As a smaller games developer we can’t stress just how much reviews mean to us and how important they are.
Did you know 90% of all consumers will look at reviews before they purchase something online? Did you also know that Steam uses review numbers as a way to determine what games to promote?
If you love a game, review it!
We are often so in love with indie games that we forget to pop over and give them a thumbs up and leave a comment saying how much we liked it. By doing this you’ll be making our week, as well as helping others find the games we make.
