Review Policy
Last updated: 11/20/2025
At 4ScarrsGaming, we aim to deliver honest, transparent, and gamer-focused reviews across Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and cloud gaming. This policy explains how our reviews are created and how we approach review copies, scoring, and updates.
How Reviews Are Written
All reviews are based on hands-on gameplay. We complete a meaningful portion of each game and test performance, gameplay flow, accessibility options, technical stability, and overall experience before writing our impressions.
- We do not guarantee positivity.
- Opinions are never influenced by publishers, developers, or advertisers.
- We do not accept payment for positive coverage.
Review Codes & Disclosure
When a review copy is provided by a publisher or PR partner, we include a disclosure note in the article. Receiving a review key does not affect our opinions or scoring.
Scoring
Our review scores are based on:
- Gameplay quality
- Story and content
- Visuals and performance
- Audio
- Fun factor
- Overall value
Scores reflect the reviewer’s personal experience and may differ from other reviewers or outlets.
Post-Review Updates
If a game receives major patches, fixes, or content updates, we may update the review to reflect significant improvements or changes. Minor updates are not guaranteed full re-evaluation.
Corrections
If factual errors are found, we correct them as quickly as possible. Readers can request corrections by contacting:
