you need to provide crucial information in your reviews starting now by serial malcontent 09/20/2014, 8:16pm PDT Come on man. I am not a telepath and you just got an NDA lifted so I'll give you leeway for communication hiccups. But maybe you're not PR-master enough to judge what features you can mention at the expense of all else to properly hype anything more complicated than Catan. Or maybe I don't know you well enough, maybe Jonesy doesn't have this problem when you give him hype. Either way it might be worth considering doing out of eight style reviews and mentioning features categorically, like graphics and audio. Only shorter than out of eight. A sentence each would do. Maybe that way, games that have no public screenshots and no art beyond the merest hint of some buildings and a background wouldn't remain total mysteries to the rest of us.
