No paid opinions

Reviews aren't for sale. Our scores reflect what the editorial team thought after playing, full stop.

Editor’s pick

Ashen Marches
RPG

Ashen Marches

★★★★★ 4.6

Ashen Marches asks you to lead a small band of survivors across a scorched borderland, and it takes the role-playing part seriously. Every companion has opinions, and the choices you make in dialogue ripple into who stays with you and who walks off into the ash. I replayed the first act twice just to see how differently it could go.

  • Choices that genuinely change your party
  • Clean turn-based combat built for touch
  • Deep story that rewards a second run

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

We follow the strategy and tower defence genres closely and pick titles that look like they'll reward a real playthrough. Sometimes it's a big release, sometimes it's a quiet gem a reader flagged. The only rule is that someone on the team commits to actually finishing it.

Do you get paid to write reviews?

No. We don't accept payment for reviews or scores, and we don't run sponsored pieces disguised as opinions. Our verdicts come purely from playing the games ourselves, and if that ever changed we'd disclose it plainly.

Can I suggest a game for you to cover?

Absolutely, and we read every suggestion. Send us the title and a line about why you think it's worth our time via the contact email. We can't promise to cover everything, but good tips genuinely shape our queue.

Have you reviewed any casual games too, or just strategy?

We lean into strategy and tower defence, but we cover other genres when a game earns it. A good example is Big Bass Boat, a relaxed fishing game we broke down in detail because its controls and pacing were genuinely well done. Variety keeps the catalogue honest.
