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.

I have a few games that significantly impacted me, like Morrowind, so when I read someone asking a question invariably there will be a significant moment from that game that pops out at me related to their question and I will relate that in detail if that’s what I think they’re looking for.

I also tend to write longer responses as a habit, so I’m sure that plays into it.

I like talking about my favorite games at length. So if you give me an inch I’ll take a mile haha.
