Why us
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.
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.

Questions & answers
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.
Can I republish your reviews?
A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.
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.
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.
