Why us

We Actually Play

Every review comes from real sessions, not store descriptions. If we didn't finish it or get properly stuck in, we say so.

No Paid Placement

Nobody buys a spot in our catalogue. A good score is earned by the game, not by a message in our inbox.

Every Genre Welcome

We don't stick to one type of game. Strategy, racing, cozy sims — all of it gets a fair look.

RPG

Ember of the Last Oak

★★★★★ 4.7

Ember of the Last Oak surprised me. I expected a quick mobile RPG and got something with real weight. You play a travelling healer who arrives at a village the world forgot, and the whole game is about slowly bringing it back — recruiting people, learning their stories, and fighting off the things in the woods when they come too close.

  • Turn-based combat that rewards planning
  • Writing that remembers your choices
  • Great save system for short sessions

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

We pick games we're genuinely curious about, usually something a team member stumbled onto or a reader suggested. Someone plays it properly before we commit to writing, and plenty of games get dropped along the way. We care more about whether a game is interesting than how popular it already is.

Do developers pay you for reviews?

No. Nobody can buy a review or a higher score from us. We've turned down offers before and we'll keep doing it, because the whole point of the site falls apart the moment money changes what we say.

Can I suggest a game you should cover?

Absolutely, and we read everything that comes in. Drop us an email with the game and a line about why you think it's worth our time. We can't promise to cover everything, but good suggestions genuinely shape what we play next — that's how we ended up reviewing Legends of Slots.

Is there advertising on the site?

We may run a small amount of basic advertising to help cover hosting costs, but it never touches our editorial decisions. Ads are kept separate from reviews, and no advertiser gets a say in a game's score or how we write about it.
