Why us
We actually play
Every review comes from real hours on a phone, not a press kit skim. If we didn't finish it, we tell you.
Offline first
We only cover games that hold up without a connection. Airplane mode is our default testing environment.
No paid scores
Ratings can't be bought. A studio can send us a game, but it can't buy a number.

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We pick games we actually want to play, with a strong bias toward ones that work offline. Reader suggestions push a lot of titles up the list, and if something's getting buzz for the right reasons, we'll grab it and see if it holds up.
Do studios pay you for reviews?
No. A studio can send us a game or a key, but that gets it looked at, not praised. Big Bass, for example, we reviewed entirely off our own downloads, and our scores stay independent no matter who's asking.
Can I suggest a game?
Please do. Drop us an email with the name and why you think it's worth our time. We read every suggestion, though we can't promise a review of everything given how much lands in the inbox.
Is there advertising on the site?
We keep the site light and may show basic display ads to cover hosting. Ads never influence a review or a rating, and we don't run anything that hijacks your reading with pop-ups or autoplay noise.
