Why us

We Actually Play

Every guide comes from hours in the game, not a quick glance at a trailer. If we write about a boss fight, one of us beat it.

No Paid Rankings

Studios can't buy a better score or a spot higher in our catalog. Our ratings reflect what we felt while playing.

Written By Humans

We argue about scores, fix our own typos, and reply to emails. There's a real person behind every post here.

Editor’s pick

Ashwarden Tactics
RPG

Ashwarden Tactics

★★★★★ 4.7

Ashwarden Tactics is the kind of mobile RPG I keep going back to. You lead a small band of exiles across a snowbound map, picking fights on a grid and slowly unlocking a surprisingly deep skill tree. Each character leans into a role, but the fun is in mixing them so a frost mage sets up a combo your warrior finishes.

  • Deep but fair tactical combat
  • Party building that rewards experimenting
  • Clear information so losses feel earned

Questions & answers

How do you decide which games to review?

Someone on the team has to actually play a game long enough to form a real opinion before it gets written up. We try to cover a spread of genres so the catalog isn't all one type of game. If nothing on the team clicks with a title, we usually move on.

Do studios pay you for reviews or better scores?

No. Nobody can buy a score or a spot in our catalog, and we don't run paid review deals. Our ratings come from how the games felt while we played them, full stop.

Can I suggest a game for you to cover?

Absolutely, we love suggestions. Drop us an email with the game's name and why you think it's worth our time. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read every message, and that's how we found a few favorites like Volcane Spins.

Is there advertising on the site?

We may show basic, non-intrusive ads to help keep the lights on. They never influence what we write or how we score a game. If that ever changes, we'll say so clearly on the site.
