Usage

Game On is a game review web app that allows users to browse and search for video game reviews. It is accessible to all users, where they can:

● Browse through the diverse range of games.
● Search for games using keywords and filters, such as platform and release date with sorting option.
● Visit a specific game page to learn more about the game:
• ○ Get an overview of the game, including its summary, release date, genre, and platforms, as well as its average user and critic ratings.
• ○ Read critic reviews submitted by experts, as well as submit your own review if you are an expert reviewer or connected to an online media company.
• ○ Read user reviews submitted by other users, as well as submit your own review to share your personal experience on the game.
• ○ Read the game's system requirements to see if your device can run this game.
● Sign in with Google or email/password, reset your password if you forget it, and sign out when you're done.
● Visit your user profile to see your information and update your profile, password, or delete your account if necessary.

Future Development Plans

Although the app is functioning properly, I plan to make further improvements in the near future. These include:

● Allow users to edit or delete their own reviews.
● Implement the functionality to keep critic reviews on pending after submission and review the post's validity before accepting. This feature will ensure that only high-quality critic reviews are published on the site, making it a more trustworthy source of information for users.
