I'm not a professional critic. I would hesitate to say I'm trying to be. I'm trying to write pieces that are worth reading six months after a game comes out, because most of what I have to say doesn't arrive until I've had time to sit with it.

Most of what I play is some form of RPG, action or otherwise. I enjoy when the medium is used to express something — a concept, a feeling, even just a person finding their family. I have a high tolerance for slow starts and a low tolerance for bad final acts.

Everything on this site is written from direct experience. A review is long-form and first-person — my raw take, no scores. A boss feature is a close reading of one fight: mechanics, mood, and what the encounter says about the game around it.
