I was making the assumption that, if one is using the words "Gamism/ist", "Simluationism/ist", and "Narrativism/ist", that you're referring to GNS theory. GNS theory is the Forge's creation, ergo, I can see them as the source for those terms' defintion. If the reviewer were to have sued "Dramatism/ist" in place of the last term above, I might assume they were using Threefold Model terminology, and thus we'd look to that source for correct usage.

If the reviewer's intent was not to reference either of those, I'd suggest not using the terminology.
