Carmelo isn't here to read you a press release or give you a back-of-the-box summary. He cuts right to the gameplay, focusing on deep sims, sports games, and action adventures that usually hide their best secrets deep in the menus.

His goal is to help you decide what's worth your gaming hours by looking at how a game truly functions once you've got the controller in your hands. He's the guy who'll tell you to remap your alt-fire immediately to save your run during a messy final boss fight.

Adam Roffel – Board Game Reviewer and Contributor

Adam has been writing about video games since 2014 and board games since 2018. When he isn't rooting for the Toronto Maple Leafs or Toronto FC, he usually has a controller in his hand, often playing on a Nintendo platform, or is sitting at a table playing a board game.

Adam also has firm opinions on a few key topics. There are much better board games than Settlers of Catan, and Nintendo doesn't need to compete directly with PlayStation and XBOX.
