Games to Stream
How we review games for streamers
StreamChum reviews the shape of a live broadcast: how clearly a game reads on screen, how much room it leaves for chat, where clips come from, and whether a creator has a reason to return for another stream.
What the Chum score means
The Chum score is an editorial rating of streamability from 1 to 10. It is not a conventional game score and it is not an average of the fit cards. We consider chat space, clip potential, series potential, launch competition, audience readability, platform limits, mature material, and the kinds of creators the game suits.
How we research a review
Official developer, publisher, and platform sources establish release details, modes, platforms, and game systems. For released games, independent bylined reviews and meaningful player-reception evidence help us understand the wider response. Those sources inform the broadcast verdict, but they do not become a claim that StreamChum personally played the game.
Unless a review clearly says it is based on hands-on experience, it is a research-based streamability review. We link the sources that support changing facts and reception claims so readers can inspect the evidence.
Where AI-assisted tools fit
AI-assisted tools may help organise research and draft copy. Generated text is never treated as a source, and it does not replace the published evidence or StreamChum's editorial responsibility for the score. We do not invent play experience, audience figures, quotations, or technical results.
What we optimise for
The best score does not always belong to the best-known or best-reviewed game. A flawed game can create a lively broadcast, while an acclaimed game can leave little room for chat or be difficult to discover. Each verdict names the streamer who is most likely to make the format work and the main condition attached to the recommendation.
