About Me

What makes me different?

I'm not your typical game reviewer. I bring a unique mix of skills that lets me see games from angles most people don't:

• 🛠️ I'm a Builder, Not Just a Player.

  With a background in Software and Game Development, I analyze games from a technical perspective. I appreciate the underlying systems and mechanics that create a great experience, not just the flashy graphics.

• 🎨 I Have a Designer's Eye.

  As a Pixel Artist and Graphic Designer, I have a deep appreciation for art style, world-building, and user interface design: the creative elements that make a game immersive.

• 📊 I'm Data-Driven.

  My experience in SEO and Digital Marketing means I spend my time analyzing what millions of players are looking for. I build my recommendations based on what people actually want to play.

• 🎮 I'm a Lifelong, Dedicated Gamer.

  This isn't a side-gig. From high-level MMO PVP (2100+ in WoW) to hundreds of hours in complex ARPGs (Rue is a Cat), I've spent my life deconstructing what makes games great.

⚙️ How I Work

I'm an asynchronous operator who thrives on deep work and focused sprints. I don't do well with daily status meetings or constant context switching. Instead, I excel at intense building phases: architecting solutions, writing code, designing systems, and then letting those systems run.

This is why I gravitate toward SEO-driven content, automated tools, and digital products. They're assets that continue working long after the initial effort.

🎮 Why Gaming?

Gaming isn't just a hobby for me. It's a way to experiment and understand engagement systems. Games like Path of Exile, roguelites, and complex MMOs teach me about progression curves, reward loops, and what keeps people coming back.

These same principles apply to building products, content, and businesses. That's why I created Recommended Play: to share deep insights about games while building a platform that demonstrates my ability to create engaging, automated systems.
