RPG
Ember of the Hollow
★★★★★ 4.6
Ember of the Hollow is the kind of mobile RPG that respects your thumbs. Combat uses a virtual stick on the left and four skill buttons on the right, but the hit windows are generous and dodging feels reliable even on a smaller screen. You pick one of three classes and grind through hollows for gear, and the loot curve is tuned well enough that upgrades actually feel meaningful.
- Responsive touch combat with forgiving dodges
- Satisfying loot and gear progression
- Strong mood and sound design

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We pick across genres rather than just chasing charts, so a strategy title and a cozy sim get equal attention. Sometimes we follow reader suggestions, sometimes just curiosity. The only rule is that we actually play it properly before writing.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. Nobody can buy a rating or a favourable write-up here. If we were given a free copy of a game, we say so clearly at the top of the review so you know the context.
Can I suggest a game you should cover?
Absolutely, and we read every suggestion that comes in by email. We can't promise to cover everything, but genre variety helps your pick's chances. Tell us why you think it's worth a look.
Is there advertising on the site?
We keep the site light with minimal, clearly marked advertising that never influences our opinions. Our reviews stay independent regardless of who advertises. A recent example of our approach is the write-up on Legends of Slots, which we scored honestly despite its simplicity.
