My promise to you

This is what you can hold me to—every review, every score, every update.

What you can expect from me

I will not pretend a game is fine because everyone else is being polite. If I wasted my weekend on grind and bugs, I will say so. If a small indie surprised me, I will shout about that too.

My scores are not mood boards—they are decisions. You should be able to open a review, see the Raid score, and know how I felt after the credits rolled (or after I quit).

Your time matters

I write for the person deciding at midnight whether to buy or boot something else. I would rather lose a friendly email from a publisher than waste your evening.

Money does not move the score

I do not sell higher Raid scores, softer conclusions, or homepage spots. If someone offers that, the conversation ends there.

Feelings stay in the text, not the number

I can love a flawed game or dislike a polished one—the write-up carries the nuance. The score still reflects whether I think it is worth your time overall.

How I review

  • I play enough to judge the game fairly—not just the tutorial and hype trailer.
  • I note performance, pacing, and respect for the player—not only graphics and story beats.
  • Every post includes screenshots and a certificate tier so you can scan fast or read deep.
  • If I fix a factual error, I correct it. If my opinion shifts after more play, I update the review and say why.
