Abstract:Discussion and Conclusions: The video game critic is perceived as a professional with extensive knowledge beyond their field, following specific routines for crafting a review, from the gameplay phase to the writing process. A specialized journalist, in this sense, has extensive knowledge of his or her area of specialization and his or her specific sources, thus guaranteeing an adequate treatment of the message (Esteve, 1997). [...]there are endless studies on film criticism or literary criticism, but hardly any research has been done on video game criticism or the professional individual who practices it, despite the global turnover of the video game, its penetration in society and its growing presence in the media. According to Lopez-Redondo (2012), this phenomenon tends to be reproduced in specialized media, but not in the general press, which has a greater diversity of advertisers.
