Questions & Answers
What is Review & Brew?
First founded in February, 2023, Review & Brew is a place where you can find reliable, thorough reviews on the games I play. The site is built around simplicity and ease of navigation. I hope you can appreciate the effort that went into making this possible, and that you’ll enjoy your time here.
What kind of games does this site review?
I cover a wide range of genres, most notably specializing in action, racers and RPGs - all reviewed thoroughly and fairly. I also review very obscure titles from older systems, so expect some of those as well. There is a huge backlog of titles I'd love to cover, notably form The Legend of Zelda, Ratchet & Clank and Sonic franchises. I put a lot of work and time into these and I hope you'll appreciate them as much as I do writing them.
Why is there no score system, like 7/10?
Simply put, there is no standardization or control over what they mean in the first place.
Let’s be honest with ourselves, there is no such thing as a perfect game. If I were to give something a 10/10, but then I go to criticize something not good about it, suddenly the score does not properly reflect the game as a whole and loses meaning. By boiling it down to this simpler standard of Recommended vs. Not Recommended, it leaves room open for criticism to have its say without being potentially misleading.
Who runs this site?
Review & Brew is independently hosted by me (Prof. Purble) with occasional collaborations from other like-minded folks.
Once upon a time, there was a much larger team whom helped work on the project and contributed with their own ideas. As much as I wished to keep their crediting stats, it had come to light that I was requested to remove all mention and contributions from the site. Despite my hesitance for this, I respected their wishes. While their names are kept anonymous, they played an important role in the development and growth of Review and Brew and it would be remiss of me to dismiss that. I wish them all the best of luck in their future endeavors.
