David Smith
In the vast digital cosmos where heroes clash, monsters rise, and worlds are born from lines of code, one constant remains: Smitty, the editor whose pen sharpens blades, whose insight forges legends, and whose critique can topple empires pixel by pixel. Though many speak his name, few truly know the origins of GameCritix’s enigmatic overseer. Some say he was once a rogue QA tester, forged in the chaos of broken builds and day-one patches. Others whisper he descended from the ancient Archivists — beings who chronicle every game world, every reboot, every forgotten Easter egg. But those closest to him know the truth: Smitty is a guardian of stories, a curator of worlds, and the quiet force ensuring every game earns its place in the digital pantheon.
Yomi 2 Review
Yomi 2 understands something many fighting games forget: the real battle begins long before a punch lands. Every turn feels like staring across an arcade cabinet at someone trying to crawl inside your head. It strips away execution barriers and exposes the raw psychology underneath competitive play, creating one of the smartest and most deceptively intense strategy games in years.
Call of the Elder Gods Review
As a child, I remember going to the library: the feeling of pulling an old, dust-covered book from a forgotten shelf and wondering what...
Directive 8020 Review
Directive 8020 transforms childhood dreams of space exploration into a paranoid nightmare of identity, survival, and isolation. Supermassive Games delivers its most ambitious Dark Pictures entry yet, blending cinematic horror with tense stealth mechanics and genuine psychological dread.
Decline’s Drops Review
Decline’s Drops blends the speed of a platformer with the impact of a brawler to create something unexpectedly heartfelt. Beneath its gorgeous hand-drawn art and whimsical puppet-world lies a melancholic tale about environmental collapse, greed, and resilience that lingers long after the credits roll.
Constance Review
A beautifully fluid Metroidvania that turns movement into emotion, Constance explores burnout and creativity with rare sincerity, asking players to paint their way through collapse rather than fight it
KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 Review
Kill It With Fire! 2 transforms everyday arachnophobia into a gloriously destructive multiplayer comedy, blending absurd weapons, collapsing environments, and genuine panic into one of the funniest co-op experiences of the year. It’s loud, messy, ridiculous, and fully aware that sometimes the only reasonable response to a spider is a flamethrower.
Kids On Site – Hard Hat Edition Review
For many of us, the sight of a construction site wasn't just a neighbourhood nuisance; it was a front-row seat to a world of...
Mixtape Review
Mixtape understands something most coming-of-age stories forget: growing up is rarely about the big moments. It’s the late-night drives, the awkward silences, the songs that somehow become permanent parts of your soul.
Evil Inside VR Review
Evil Inside VR transforms an ordinary family home into a suffocating psychological prison, proving that the scariest horrors are often the ones hiding in familiar spaces.
Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes Review
