When a game is reviewed at Guide Fall, we attempt to play it with unbiased eyes and a clean slate, regardless of previous entries or headlines regarding the development/publishing team. Our goal is to give our readers a synopsis of the game, along with a basic understanding of what they can expect from the experience.
We are also excited to share that our reviews are now Open Critic approved! If you have any questions about our review policy, you can contact us at kevin.tucker@guidefall.com or andrew.smith@guidefall.com.
