If you would like us to review your game, please send us a message using the contact form with the subject “Game Review”.

Reviews are unbiased and based on the opinion of the reviewer. We try to review every game as fairly as we can. StartGame is not affiliated with any third party so our reviews and recommendations are not swayed by any external influences.

All 6th and 7th generation games, add-ons or DLC that we review will be assigned a StartGame Recommendation (instead of a score) to give you a better idea of the game. Games reviewed under the Retro Review feature will be unscored.
