What is….? posts highlight what a game is, what the game tries to do and who would enjoy the games. Does the game have any features or issues that are likely to push people away or that people should be aware of before investing time or money into a game? These posts are not as much a review as they are simply trying to inform about what a game does and to set the stage for a discussion of the games’ design.
What is…? never contains any spoilers unless it is necessary in order to communicate what a game is. This section do not answer if a game is worth it, as this depends on how much you value your time and money. The purpose is two fold. One is to give players an indication of what a game actually is doing and cut through the bullshit marketing and general bullshit to provide an as objective description of what the game offers as possible. The second is to use this description to enable me to discuss design-elements the games’ do well or poorly to use as examples for game design.
