Deaf Gamer Reviews

This group is for curation purposes to review games for the deaf community of gamers on Steam. You're welcome to use the forums or the chat room however you want, so long as it is civil.

This group is primarily for curation. If you like what we do, click the curator tab on top and then click follow! This will help get the curation feed higher on the list and get it more exposure in the steam store. :)

Overall Game Experience: An overall assessment of the game as a whole, accounting for both the gameplay and the game's accessibility, combined with the general intangibles and "replayability" of the game.

Gameplay: This is an assessment of the gaming experience. This is somewhat subjective, so reviews will consist of mostly objective aspects, but readers may disagree with the ratings.

Accessibility: This is the core of what this group is about. This section looks at...

- Whether or not and to what degree sound is necessary to play or complete the game
- Do subtitles/captions exist in the game?
- Do you miss part of the story before you can turn subtitles/captions on are they on by default/changeable before starting the game?
- Do subtitles/captions indicate who is speaking by way of color of name indicators?
- Are subtitles/captions readable (white on white) and displayed long enough without being overwritten by other text?
- Is there a method of visual/tactile feedback for critical events in game?
