Why us

Offline first

Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.

Ads and purchases, measured

We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.

Battery and size

How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.

We finish what we start

A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.

Questions & answers

How do you choose what to review?

Readers suggest most of them by email. The rest come from what we see people playing around us.

Can I republish your reviews?

A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.

Do you review paid games?

Yes, and we prefer them. A game you pay for once usually treats your attention better than a free one.

Why are there no scores out of ten?

A number without an explanation tells you nothing. We give a short verdict instead, and say who the game is for.
