About Sam

I’m the generalist on the team — twenty-odd years across shooters, ARPGs, survival games and the occasional MMO, and the person who actually reads the patch notes so you don’t have to. I cover the games that don’t have a dedicated specialist yet, plus the cross-game stuff: what’s worth your time when a new season drops, how progression systems really work under the hood, and where a carry or a bit of help genuinely saves you a weekend versus where it doesn’t.

I’ve been gaming since long before it was a job, and I still play far too much of everything.

Expect level-headed, cross-game coverage: progression deep-dives, season breakdowns and honest takes on when a service is worth it.
