About GameNow Review and our sources

GameNow Review publishes game reviews in English, Korean, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. Each review weighs three kinds of evidence: what critics reported, what the public record says about the game, and what players who log in with a GameNow account write here.

How a review is made

1. Facts — release dates, developers, platforms and critic scores come from Wikidata, which is published under CC0.
2. Critical reception — the reception sections of Wikipedia articles (CC BY-SA 4.0) and short excerpts that publishers release in their RSS feeds or through official search APIs. We never copy full articles from other sites and we respect robots.txt.
3. Writing — a language model drafts the review from those sources in its own words. Every draft is checked automatically: it must cite at least two independent sources, and any sentence that repeats a source verbatim is rejected. The review is then translated into the other three languages.
4. Score — the critic average (0–10) uses published numeric ratings, grouped by outlet. Steam approval is displayed separately. It is not a claim that a person on our team finished the game.

Images and video

We only show images with a free license from Wikimedia Commons, credited on each page. Games without such an image get a generated title card. Trailers are embedded from the publisher's official YouTube channel; nothing is re-hosted.

Player reviews and comments

Anyone with a GameNow account can rate a game from 1 to 10, write one review per game and comment. Ratings from players are shown separately from our score.
