We Actually Play
Every review is based on hours of real play, not a trailer. If we didn't finish enough to judge it, we say so.
No Paid Reviews
Nobody buys a score here. Studios can't pay their way onto the site or nudge our opinions.
Plain Talk
We skip the buzzwords and tell you what a game feels like to hold and play, warts and all.

RPG
Embershroud Saga
★★★★★ 4.7
Embershroud Saga is a proper old-school RPG scaled sensibly for a phone. You build a party, poke at a big talent web, and make choices in the story that genuinely close off other paths. We replayed the second act twice just to see a different faction outcome.
- Meaningful story branches
- Deep but understandable combat
- Strong character writing

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We follow what looks interesting — reader tips, small studios doing something clever, and genres we personally love. Then we play enough of a game to form an honest opinion before writing a single word. If it doesn't grab us, it usually doesn't make the site.
Do you get paid to write reviews?
No. Nobody can pay for a review or a score here, and studios don't get to preview or approve what we write. Our opinions are the whole point, so we keep them independent.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, that's how a lot of our coverage starts. Just email us with the game and a line about why you like it. We can't promise to review everything, but we read every message.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may run simple, unobtrusive ads to help keep the lights on, but they never influence our reviews. A recent example is Casinacho Games, which we covered purely because we enjoyed playing it, with no arrangement behind it.
