Author: Olivia Falk
Olivia’s gaming career started with a Game Boy Advance from eBay and a copy of Pokémon Red (the original). From there, her life (and her wallet) were never the same again. After starting university, she decided to start a YouTube channel for gaming. However, she quickly discovered that while she enjoyed discussing games, she sucked at talking about them. Writing about them instead seemed like the logical next step. She hates being asked what her favourite game genres are, because she never has an answer that doesn’t go on for an hour. Despite this, she is willing to admit that she’s awful at RTSs, and has made it a personal goal to someday find one that doesn’t consistently see her entire base overrun and destroyed within seconds.
Welcome to Buttsville: My Week as Mayor in Community Inc.
Running a town by yourself? Tough. Doing it with a gaggle of incompetent citizens who literally can’t prioritise to save their lives? Borderline impossible.
The Immortal Planet Conspiracy: Fake Endings, Duplicitous Devs, and How to Erode Consumer Trust
Just because you CAN get your players to invest more time in your game, doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Especially not when it involves lying to your biggest fans.

Redout Review: Delightfully High Octane Action
Redout made me laugh, scream, and shout in disbelief, but all the while, it never stopped being fast, beautiful, and absolutely delightful.
Top 10 Cutest Games From E3 2017
There were a lot of grim and realistic games at E3 2017. While that’s certainly not a bad thing, sometimes a bit of cuteness is needed to lighten things up.
An Ode to Plague Road
Come and sit down; I’ve a tale to tell, of a game whose mechanics were boring as hell.
Demon-Slaying Tower Defence ‘Hell Warders’ Proves First Impressions Aren’t Everything
Hell Warders made an awful first impression. Upon loading it up, I was quickly greeted with clipping assets, overflowing lists that disappeared off-screen, a non-functioning character creator, and various spelling and grammar errors in pieces of menu and help text. Oh, I also couldn’t play the game; there were no multiplayer games available for me…

The Lorax meets SimCity in Block’hood, a city-builder that puts environmental sustainability over profits and resource production.
OVIVO Review
Big things come in small packages, and much like its levels, OVIVO shows that it’s not about getting caught up in the details; it’s about looking at the bigger picture.
The Dream Machine Review
Five years is a long time in the world of gaming. Five years ago, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 only existed as prototypes. Games like Dishonored, The Walking Dead, and Hotline Miami were considered new IPs. Half Life 3… well, people were a bit more optimistic about its existence. Amidst all of this, the…
Age of Rivals Review
City-building strategy games have a storied history of complexity, offering a plethora of options for players to take over the world or run their burgeoning empire into the ground. It’s odd then, that Age of Rivals takes away so much control, favouring a scaled back and largely randomised approach to empire-building. Of course, there’s a…
