Review of the Month Rules

Every month, the community review with the most votes wins its author a random game key worth up to $1.

Writing a review

  • Any registered user can write a review for a game in our catalog.
  • Reviews are published after a quick moderation check.
  • One review per game per account. Pros, Cons, and Summary combined must total at least 300 characters, and links are not allowed.

Voting

  • You can vote once your email is verified and your account is at least 7 days old.
  • One vote per review; you cannot vote for your own review. You can remove your vote at any time.
  • A vote counts toward a given month if it is cast in that calendar month (UTC), for a review published that same month.

Winner

  • The review with the most votes wins, with a minimum of 10 votes from different accounts. If that threshold isn't met, there is no winner that month.
  • Ties are broken first by the number of unique voters, then by which review was published earlier.
  • We manually review the winner before sending the prize, and may disqualify a review that breaks these rules — in which case the prize goes to the next review in line.

Prize

  • A random game key worth up to $1. It cannot be exchanged for cash.
  • The key is emailed to the winner; no Steam account is required.
