Writes our reviews

Toby D. Glen

He has a lot of opinions about desktop games. Some strong, some questionable, but always honest. He likes games that are easy to start, hard to put down, and don't make you feel dumb for needing a break.

Gaming expert?
Nope
Streams on Twitch?
Never
Cares about "meta builds"?
Not even a little
Will you always agree with him?
Probably not. That's fine.

What you'll find here

Why you might actually like these games

These games aren't trying to win awards. They're trying to keep you entertained for fifteen minutes, and sometimes that's enough.

Some scratch the same itch as a good puzzle. Either way, they're built to be easy, satisfying, and a little addictive, in a good way. If that sounds like your kind of thing, you're in the right place.

No nonsense, no hype

If a game is boring, we'll say so.

Nobody pays us for a review or a score, and there are no articles pretending to be something they're not. Some links on this site are affiliate links, and they never change a score. Here's how we review games
