About Ollie Tuscarny

I am an HR advisor with a borderline addiction to gaming who loves everything from first-person shooters to tactical roguelikes. I have always been drawn to games that really test me, so soulslikes are an obvious favourite, but I also enjoy exploring the world of indie developers, particularly those who push the boundaries of genres and game design. 

I focus mainly on list articles, ranging from rankings to general collections of a specific trope or genre, such as RPGs with base-building or shooters with class systems. I also cover every console out there, and often write about specific platforms and their history or upcoming hardware that may shake up the industry.
 
I play most of my games on PC or Steam Deck, but have always been a PlayStation fanboy, so whenever a new first-party game drops, I am sure to hop on the PS5 to give it a try.
 

Favorite Games

FromSoftware soulslikes, Nine Sols, Binding of Isaac, League of Legends, Resident Evil series, TF2

Favorite Console

PS4 or PC/Steam Deck
