How do you like to approach writing about games?

I’ve noticed there are some folks writing at length here on their experiences playing games, so this felt like a good place to ask. Do you take notes as you play, and/or after each session, then write out full thoughts upon completing a game?

Or are your reflections compiled only after finishing a game, no notes?

I’ve dabbled with different approaches, and haven’t really settled on a consistent process personally.

    Never written about games, but when I do have notes I want to remember, in the past few years I’ve been using Logseq to jot down something on the day’s journal, and tag it with a topic.

    Because it’s search capabilities, I find I actually go back to my musings when I need them.

    I’ve never really written about a game, but I’m admirative of people who are able to while still enjoying the game.

    The only time I tried it was on Reddit to try to redeem Dead Space 3 and encourage people to still try despite what they could hear about it. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t well written at all, but it was really sincere as I enjoyed the game 😅
