About Marc Santos

Marc Santos is a Guides Staff Writer from the Philippines with a BA in Communication Arts and over six years of experience in writing gaming news and guides. He plays just about everything, from turn-based RPGs to life sims, 4X, horror, and more. Marc has spent over 2,200 hours on Destiny 2, all while leaving his Steam game backlog to grow ever bigger.

Industry Focus

Marc's main focus is writing guides across a wide variety of game genres, from FPS to RPG, MMO, Survival, and even mobile gacha games. He writes both short-form guides and detailed walkthroughs for the trickier parts of games. Additionally, Marc occasionally writes lists that are closely tied to in-game metas.

Favorite Games

Marc regularly bounces between many different games in different genres. Some of his most played titles are League of legends, Monster Hunter: World, Team Fortress 2, and Warframe. Out of all the game's he's played, Marc has spent the most hours raiding and competing against other players in Destiny 2.

Favorite Console

Marc grew up playing games on his family's computer, a platform that quickly became his favorite over the years despite owning the earlier generations of PlayStations. Now, he has nearly 400 games on his Steam library, but is yet to finish (or even touch) the vast majority of them.
