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.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
