Why us
We actually play
Nothing gets a score until someone on the team has put real hours into it. No reviews based on trailers.
No paid scores
We don't sell ratings or bump games for cash. A developer can't buy their way to a higher number here.
Every genre welcome
Puzzles, racers, RPGs, odd little experiments. If it's good and it's small, we want to talk about it.

RPG
Ashvale Wanderers
★★★★★ 4.6
Ashvale Wanderers surprised me. On the surface it's a touch-friendly turn-based RPG, but the writing is doing a lot of quiet work. Your party of four misfits moves across a hand-drawn map, and most of the game is the back-and-forth of combat and the small conversations between towns.
- Readable timeline combat
- Shared stamina system that rewards planning
- Writing with real personality

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We hunt through app stores, follow indie developers, and take tips from readers. If something looks interesting, we install it and actually play it before deciding whether it's worth a full review. Plenty of games we try never get written up because they didn't hold our attention.
Do developers pay you for reviews or ratings?
No. We don't take money to review a game or to raise a score, and we never will. Our ratings reflect what the team honestly thought after playing, nothing more. If that ever changes, we'll say so loudly.
Can I suggest a game you should cover?
Absolutely, that's one of our favorite emails to get. Send us the name and a link through the contact page and tell us why you like it. We can't promise we'll cover everything, but we read every suggestion.
Is anything on the site sponsored or advertised?
We keep ads minimal and clearly separate from our writing. Reviews like the one we did on Legends of Slots are never influenced by advertising, and nobody buys their way into our coverage. If a piece is ever sponsored, it'll be labeled clearly at the top.
