We play each game for a minimum of 10-15 hours across multiple sessions before writing a review. For longer games, we may spend 20+ hours to experience different aspects and progression systems.

Affiliate links are special URLs that track when you download a game through our recommendation. If you download a game via our link, we may receive a small commission from the app store at no extra cost to you.

This helps us maintain the website and continue providing free content. For complete details, see our Affiliate Disclosure page.

Affiliate commissions come from the app store or developer, not from you. Your download price is always the standard app store price.
