Mobile games, played and judged
We download, we play, and only then we write. Puzzles, RPGs, strategies, arcades — you get first-hand impressions instead of press releases. Recently the team spent a full week with Big Bass Boat, and the notes are already up in the catalog.

Why us
We finish the games
No review goes up until someone on the team has played far enough to know how it holds up. First impressions are noted, but they never decide the score alone.
Scores you can read
Our ratings mean something because we explain them. A 4.2 and a 4.8 aren't the same, and we tell you exactly what separates them.
No hidden deals
Nobody pays us to like a game. When we mention something we didn't buy ourselves, we say where it came from.

Ember of the Hollow Crown
★★★★★ 4.6
Ember of the Hollow Crown is a proper old-school RPG shrunk down for a touchscreen, and it mostly nails the fit. You lead a party of four through a ruined realm, fighting turn-based battles, managing gear, and making choices that actually shift how characters treat you later on.
- Deep turn-based combat with real strategy
- Companions who feel written, not generated
- Choices that ripple through the story

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We look for games that do at least one thing genuinely well, across every genre — puzzles, RPGs, strategy, arcades, anything. We play them ourselves before deciding whether they're worth a full write-up. Popularity doesn't earn a game a review; being interesting does.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. Nobody pays us to cover a game or to like it, and our scores are never for sale. If we ever received a game for free instead of buying it, we'd say so plainly in the review.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, and we read every suggestion. Send us the game and a line about why you think it's worth our time — that's actually how we ended up reviewing Big Bass Boat. We can't promise to cover everything, but good tips genuinely help us.
Is there advertising on the site?
We may show simple, unobtrusive ads to help cover hosting costs, but they never influence what we write or how we score. Editorial and advertising stay completely separate. If that ever changes, we'll tell you.
