Oh wow.
Celerity there's material there for at least three articles.
(1) Review of the game itself. Fuck the drama with Red Hook, Steam reviews etc., just explain what the game is trying to do, whether it's worth trying, and how it succeeds (or, as the case may be, fails). Maybe add some short thoughts on how the failures could be remedied since you have some clear ideas about that.
(2) Report about Red Hook, their community relations, the Kickstarter, what was promised, what was delivered, and the way they deal with negative reviews.
(3) FAQ/strategy guide/let's-play of the game itself.
Right now all three are all mixed together in one epic stream-of-consciousness rant, which just makes you look deranged. If you managed to disentangle them you would get your message across better, as well as producing something that's readable in its own right rather than for lulz or drama. If it's just one article, it should be the review, with tops one paragraph about the drama at the beginning or the end. Consider writing the other two as completely separate projects.
Actual game: Infinite grind with one dimensional content and zero balance. How much can you actually say about spamming Hellions and damage before you come off pretentious? I already used far more words than actually necessary for that.
Strategy guide: Same thing.
The whole corruption/censorship angle is both the only reason you have this epic lulz thread at all, and the only reason this is longer than 2 paragraphs max. These elements are also closely intertwined which is why it shifts back and forth between them.
Also worth mentioning: This was written nearly a year ago, which is why it contains factual errors such as believing Jim Shilling and John Bain are not for sale and why it doesn't contain much more damning things like Rekt Hook idolizing Killary Clinton because they have a similar shill network and PizzaGate scandal. I'm not editing or adding those because that was the accurate state of things as the time I wrote it but it is there.
As for fucking being censored, like someone else said this was the review the RPGWatch didn't want you reading. They're cucked and censor profanity.
It also doesn't mention #ShillsGiving.
