An alternative to reviewing games on steam
Review platforms for video games, movies, etc. that are non-centralized or at least open source and community driven?

I’d be more bothered by the closed sourcedness of the movies and games themselves, than of the reviewing venue. They’re still proprietary media products wherever they get reviewed. So I’d work on that first.

You want open source movies???

Never even heard of the concept before and it sounds extremely weird. And yet I’m intrigued.

Sita Sings the Blues is great.

Big Buck Bunny comes to mind.

Are you open source ? I mean you as a person, do you give open access to all your datas by example ? If not, that bothers me. I mean how can you be a hardcore open source supporter, and not be open source too…

I do like open source games, but that’s a very different and unrelated thing to this. Whether the reviewed game is open source does not matter too much from the review perspective.

Not open-source, but I was using Metacritic as an alternative to Steam. Unfortunately, they’ve severely degraded their UI in recent years so I started using GOG.

OpenCritic is the only website that comes to mind. They are supported by Patreons mostly I think.

I always check there before buying a game. So far it has never let me make a bad buy.
