How we cover a game

A four-step ritual before we publish

01

Full playthrough, no skips

Every review starts with a complete run — main story plus the side content that matters. We log 40–120 hours before a single verdict is written.

02

Lore & narrative breakdown

Spoiler-safe first, deep-dive second. We map factions, timelines and hidden item descriptions so the story finally clicks into place.

03

Frame-tight boss guides

Attack windows, punish timings and gear checklists — captured at 60fps and tested on the hardest difficulty so the strategy actually holds.

04

Weekly patch watch

Balance changes move fast. Every Friday we re-test affected builds and update guides so you're never running an outdated meta.
