Why us

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.

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.

Offline first

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

Night Bakery is a shift-based cooking game that respects your evening: a shift lasts four minutes and ends properly, with a summary and no cliffhanger.

Questions & answers

Do you accept payment for reviews?

No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.

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.

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.

Can I republish your reviews?

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