Allysen is a writer with a passion for covering all things related to entertainment! While primarily focused on video games and the gaming industry, she also enjoys writing about movies, TV, anime, and lifestyle topics.

Favorite Games and Genres

Allysen's favorite game genres include horror, RPGs, visual novels, and platformers, though she's also known to play just about anything that's put in front of her.
