Crit Pick
Honest scores. No sponsors.
A score out of ten for every game I've actually played. The ones I haven't are clearly marked as on my radar — no faked verdicts, no sponsor talk, no pretending to be objective. Just what's worth your time, and what isn't.
When something earns the Crit Pick stamp, it's because I played it — not because anyone paid for it.
What I'm watching next — Guild Wars 3, Total War, and the indies worth a look.

Crit Pick, answered
What is Crit Pick?
Crit Pick is a one-person games site: reviews with a score out of ten, hot takes, and interactive quizzes. Every game that gets a score has actually been played — the ones that haven't are clearly marked as on the radar instead of getting a faked verdict.
Are Crit Pick's reviews sponsored?
No. There are no sponsors and no paid placements. When a game earns the Crit Pick stamp, it's because it was played and scored — not because anyone paid for it.
How does Crit Pick score games?
Every game that has actually been played gets a score out of ten. Games that haven't been played are never scored; they're listed as on the radar until they are.
Who writes Crit Pick?
Isabella Quilez — a game dev grad who took a wrong turn into SEO. She goes by Corgi Summoner and writes about the games she actually plays, with Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars 2 and RimWorld topping the hours.
Which games does Crit Pick cover?
Guild Wars 2 and Guild Wars 3, RimWorld, Palworld, and a rolling watchlist of upcoming games from both indie studios and the big names. The full directory lives on the All games page, and release dates are tracked on the release timeline.
