Beginner friendly: Moderate

I’d rate it a 2 because becoming a game journalist requires strong writing skills, a deep understanding of the gaming industry, and the ability to network effectively. While there are resources and platforms available online, such as Reddit and YouTube, that offer guidance, the competition is high, and breaking into the field without prior experience or connections can be challenging. Most beginners will need to invest significant time in building a portfolio and gaining credibility before earning a profit.
