Review Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Console Critics.
We’re committed to creating a welcoming and collaborative environment where writers, creators, and gamers can share their passion through thoughtful, high-quality content. To help maintain a consistent standard across the publication, we ask all contributors to follow these expectations.
As a contributor, you are expected to submit original work that reflects your own ideas and experiences. If you use outside sources for factual information, please ensure they are accurate and properly referenced when appropriate. We encourage creativity, but honesty and integrity should always come first.
Contributors should communicate professionally and respectfully throughout the editorial process. Feedback is a normal part of publishing, and revisions may be requested to improve clarity, organization, or consistency. Editorial suggestions are intended to strengthen your work while preserving your unique voice.
If you commit to writing an article or accepting an assignment, we ask that you make a reasonable effort to complete it or communicate if your availability changes. We understand that life happens, and open communication helps us plan accordingly.
Above all, we ask contributors to represent Console Critics with professionalism, respect fellow creators, and contribute positively to the community we’re building.
Our goal is not simply to publish articles—we’re building a publication where writers can grow, develop their skills, and create work they’re proud to share.
We Believe that great gaming journalism comes from curiosity, honesty and respect from both players and developers.
Thank you for helping us build console critics!
We’re excited to read your work.
