RPG Deep Guides
2–3 features weekly · free to read
Spoiler-safe walkthroughs, hidden-boss routes and build maths for the big JRPGs and CRPGs — every claim tested on a real save file.
Esports Breakdowns
Post-match, within 24h
Draft logic, macro calls and the one team-fight that decided the series — with clipped VODs and stat overlays for every major tournament.
Indie Discoveries
Every Friday
The three small games worth your weekend, straight from itch.io and Steam Next Fest, with developer interviews and no marketing fluff.
Hardware Reviews
Bought, not gifted
Controllers, handhelds and headsets scored on a 30-day live-with test — benchmarks, teardown notes and a plain verdict in pounds and pence.
The desk
Writers who finish the game
A small London team logging real hours before a word gets published.
Naomi Ellison
Editor-in-Chief
Ex-QA lead. 4,000+ hours in tactics RPGs and a soft spot for a well-drawn map.
Marcus Adeyemi
Esports Lead
Sat courtside at three Wembley finals. Turns 40-minute matches into two-minute reads.
Priya Raman
Indie & Features
Haunts the Shoreditch arcade nights and knows every dev in a 5-mile radius.
Tom Whitaker
Hardware & Tech
Soldering-iron in one hand, oscilloscope in the other. Refuses to score anything he hasn't opened.

Trusted by the players themselves
Manchester · Mar 2025
"Their Baldur's Gate 3 build guide got my honour-mode run over the line. Actual maths, not vibes."
Bristol · Feb 2025
"The esports breakdowns are the only ones I share in my clan chat. Clear, quick, never hype."
Leeds · Jan 2025
"Bought a handheld purely off their 30-day review and it's the best £499 I've spent on gaming."
