Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about UrbanCoreGames, our catalog, community features, and urban gaming resources.

What criteria do you use to select games for your catalog?

+

We evaluate games based on several key criteria: the quality and authenticity of urban environment design, gameplay mechanics that interact meaningfully with the city setting, technical performance and stability, narrative integration with the urban theme, and overall player experience. Games must excel in at least three of these areas to be included in our catalog.

How can I contribute to the UrbanCoreGames community?

+

There are many ways to contribute! You can write game reviews, create strategy guides, participate in forum discussions, organize community game nights, suggest games for our catalog, report bugs or issues on the site, and share your urban gaming experiences. We welcome all constructive contributions that enhance our community's knowledge and enjoyment of urban games.

Do you cover games from all platforms and consoles?

+

Yes, we cover urban games across all major gaming platforms including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. Our focus is on the quality of the urban experience rather than the platform. We indicate platform availability for each game and note any significant differences in the urban environment or gameplay between platforms.

How often is the game catalog updated?

+

We update our catalog weekly with new releases that meet our criteria. Additionally, we conduct monthly reviews of existing entries to update information about patches, expansions, community modifications, and changing player reception. Major updates to our catalog structure and features typically occur quarterly.

Can developers submit their games for inclusion in your catalog?

+

Absolutely! We encourage developers to submit their urban-themed games for consideration. Please use the contact form to provide details about your game, including information about the urban environment design, gameplay mechanics, release platforms, and any unique features that make your urban setting stand out. We review all submissions within two weeks.

How do you categorize different types of urban environments?

+

We classify urban environments into several categories: Modern Metropolis, Cyberpunk/Future City, Historical Urban, Post-Apocalyptic Urban, Fantasy Urban, Crime-Focused Urban, and Hybrid/Unique Urban settings. Each category has specific tags for further refinement, such as "vertical design," "underground focus," "weather systems," or "destructible environments" to help users find games with specific urban characteristics.
