Game RantReviews of gamerant.com

GameRant is okay every now and again for game news, however, the sheer amount of drawn out articles just to say something completely useless is put of hand. Not to mention they are being posted REPEATEDLY. For example, prior to the launch of Borderlands 4, they had posted an article regarding cross save not being available, no big deal. But seeing the EXACT same article again today(9/21) roughly 2 weeks post launch is absolutely lazy and embarrassing. There are so many things related to gaming that could be covered, this shouldn't even be a thing. Clawing to be relevant by talking about mainstream games would be viable, if it wasn't the same stupid articles they've already posted about. There's more things happening with Borderlands than the fact that cross save isnt available (which isnt even as big of a deal as they make it out to be in the title and article). Grow some brain cells and actually put in some work, hell I've put more effort in this review than they have in their journalism.

Needed a simple answer to a question, was met with an essay of regurgitated rubbish. Repeating itself throughout the article. Obvious AI and I still didn't get the definitive answer I was looking for.

Terrible clickbait articles.

Almost EVERY article they write nothing but clickbait and bad takes, the title will never match the context, and then the actual topic/information would be no more than a paragraph, followed or preceded by a unneeded history lesson or unrelated information. I highly doubt the people that write these articles actual play or care for the games and things they write about and just put out what gets them the most clicks.

No consistency in their articles, you can hardly believe anything they write without having to doublecheck or test it yourself, hence making their service obsolete. Throwing claims out there in gaming is fine, but having consistenly been dissapointed with reading their articles I can only leave them a 1 star review.

I worked for Game Rant for two months. The whole thing is a complete scam. A total content farm. They give you little to no help as a starter. Even though my Editor promised me that I could always go to him with any questions, basically all of my questions about how to improve my articles or topics they'd like to see were completely ignored. The job was sold to me that a fair balance of assignments would be given out in the role, and then I would pitch the rest. I ended up pitching every article I published. The team was lucky to receive 10 assignments a month, and we had a team of 20+ people. All of this while they're asking everyone to individually meet 75 articles a month. In my first month, I pitched over 100 ideas and only had 35 approved. And of course, my pay was cut as a result of not meeting that quota. You end up working so many hours doing research, pitching, and proofreading for no pay. Complete waste of time. Barely worth the published work.

Dishonest and stupid
