Games Critic

Finn Calloway has reviewed more than 400 games across nine years of criticism, which has left him with strong opinions about tutorial design, onboarding friction, and the fine line between guidance and hand-holding. Irish by origin and currently based in Berlin, Finn covers platformers, horror, action, and narrative design with a dry, slightly sardonic voice that never tips into cruelty.
