Bear Reviews Games!

After a decade of music journalism for Musicalypse and Tuonela Magazine that started in 2011, I’ve developed a love of writing critical analyses of things that interest me. Please enjoy everything from video game reviews to the occasional TTRPG system review, board games, and even a rare mobile game from time to time. 

My goal, as a critical reviewer, is not to trash people’s work, because effort deserves respect. I try my best to be objective, while still sharing my personal feelings based on my own experiences.
