Comments on: Living With Game Reviews Reviews can be helpful if you spend some time interpreting what is said. Often, someone will give a bad review simply because the game isn't what they thought it would be. Those can be thrown out. Other times, people blame the problem on one thing, and it turns out it's another. For instance, I've often seen animation issues blamed on AI and vice versa. Without a doubt, though, the least useful source of critique is COMMENTS, which I recommend you seldom read. (about your own game that is--these ones are not so bad) Reviews can be helpful if you spend some time interpreting what is said.
