Great clarifications and thanks for the open dialogue.

i. Sometimes you do have an expectation of a game by it’s title, my expectation was a snowballing game. I definitely didn’t mean to rate the game according to how my expectations went, but I was reviewing what I saw.

ii. Reviews are mostly based on opinion, and for me I didn’t find the game fun. Indeed, it reflects the description of our D grade: ‘…If the title is average or feels overly derivative then it may recieve this grade – indeed, many D graded games need major work in one or more areas. We recognise that there’s potential in the game, but it’s usually not enough for us to keep playing through…’.

iii. Save state has, and always will be from our perspective, like a freeze game function when you press home. If Snowferno didn’t have a save *system* it would have been very much to the game’s detriment and would have been mentioned in the review. Perhaps it’s not clear from the description of that merit on the site that that is what save state is. Something I will need to address.

Even though my taste didn’t quite align with your output, definitely let me know if you’ve got something new that I can check out.
