Check out his profile, piano! It was the review thing

Black Winter Review

Nice jail bar addition!

Black Winter Review

The fact that it took around an hour or so before touching combat and other gameplay systems is a big red flag for a game that isn't a visual novel.
If those are the big selling points then you should definitely get to them faster. You don't have to explain everything in the beginning. Let it be told and explained ad the game goes on. Let the player figure it out.

Idk, I'll try your game soon. Tell you my thoughts then

Black Winter Review

Yes, yes you have done something wrong. You weren't happy with this review so you fabricated a review with a high score. You know how that makes you look?
It's shady and makes us wonder what else you fake.

Like what's the point if all your praise is from yourself?

Black Winter Review

Well, at least you'll always know in your fantasy world that you got a 4.5 :)

We aren't professional reviewers, just average people playing mostly average games.
Again.

You have to remember that your RPG MAKER game is dime a dozen and people will move on if they don't like it. But sheer word count alone I would say Dragnfly did their due diligence when they could have said a lot less. 40 minutes is enough time, especially if you aren't enjoying yourself.

Edit: Sniped by Libby!
oh and burn *sizzle*

Never forget poopoose, that if you feel that you don't have enough or can't convey your thoughts, just leave a semi-review as a comment on the person's gamepage! :D
It's easy with no screening process and you can still put your feelings about the game out there and maybe it can help you improve. :)

Black Winter Review

Just so you know, a person can review something without finishing it. Especially if they didn't like it. 40mins is enough for someone to feel they don't like it. Why don't you watch/play/eat something you don't like and see how far you get.

We aren't professional reviewers, just average people playing mostly average games.

Another note: People don't generally like long introductions. This is more true for indie RPG MAKER games where exposition might feel lengthy and too much at one time. Even AAA games can suffer from a long introduction where the player is more a viewer and not directly interacting with something.

Despite the recommendations, I might try this soon and give it a review. I think there's a middle ground between a game getting a review of 1.5 and 4.5. Especially when the 1.5 review articulates itself much better than the 4.5 review. Dragnfly gave me a better reason to agree with their review than the overly high one you just received. Probably because it's more indicative to how the game actually feels and presents itself.

One thing to take away from THIS review is that your game can always be improved and be better. Getting or asking someone to give yourself a favorable review isn't going to help yourself at all. You have to be open to criticism and feedback when it comes to developing games. If you're passionate about it then you should take in everything you can and try to better yourself, rather than ignoring negative feedback and thinking your game is perfect.

Black Winter Review

Yikes, this feels forced and fake in response to the other review's low rating.

This also feels like I could put less effort in writing reviews if this was accepted.
(not a good approach, mind you, but really though)

Wow, this is a really favorable review. You are very lucky. :)
I wish I could write reviews like this one...

Yes, it's a great game!

Also, it isn't that hard. I don't think of myself as a great writer by any means. But it comes easy when you like something.
What I usually do though as I play a game, I open up notepad or any other similar writing pad program will do and take notes on anything and everything I'm thinking at the moment while playing or go back and add to if need be.
I also open up Paint and screenshot any screen that I like/think is well designed or the complete opposite where it has mapping errors or grammar errors/typos.

It really doesn't take much, just try to cover key points of Story/Writing, Graphics, Gameplay, Music and giving thoughts before and after of the experience.
Reviews don't need screenshots, but I like adding them and always makes the review seem bigger. It also kinda helps anyone reading the review who hasn't played the game see some more screenshots that aren't in the images section.

I can echo Nirwanda's suggestion about really just trying and getting out there and learning from experience! :D
