Our Process.

How We Review Games

We analyze presentation, soundtrack, narrative, and gameplay. Our goal is a well-rounded article with all relevant details accounted for. We aim to inform readers on whether or not a piece of media is worth both their time and money.

Early Access

Unscored "Impressions" until a game enters its "1.0" build to ensure scores reflect a finished product.

Multimedia

We cover anime and hardware with the same rigor, but sometimes do not provide numeric scores for these categories.
