REVIEW

GUNFIELD

Combining a shmup with Vampire Survivors-style weapons, and why not throw in some good pixel art while we're at it? The game has good movement and isn't particularly difficult.…

REVIEW

Epistory - Typing Chronicles

The best thing about Epistory - Typing Chronicles is, without a doubt, its unique identity: all combat takes place through typing. And what’s most impressive is that, at no point, does it feel like one of those old, boring typing tests (here I’m giving away my…

Editorial policyHow we select games and handle review keys, previews, embargoes and editorial independence.

Editorial independence

Providing a key, demo, pre-release build or press material does not guarantee coverage, publication or a positive review. All published opinions reflect the team’s actual experience with the game and are not dictated by developers, publishers or commercial relationships.

Game selection

Noobsnoplay considers projects across different genres, sizes and stages of development. Coverage decisions take into account editorial interest, team availability, platform access, release timing and the time required to properly experience the game.

Reviews, previews and demos

Content based on demos, playtests or unfinished builds is clearly presented as first impressions or preview coverage and is not treated as a definitive review of the final product. Reviews are based on the version available and the experience actually played.

Review keys and early access

Keys supplied for evaluation are used exclusively for editorial purposes and by the team involved in the coverage. Providing early access does not give the sender control over the content, score, conclusion, format or publication timing.

Embargoes and confidentiality

Publication embargoes communicated and agreed upon in advance are respected. Reasonable restrictions involving confidential or unannounced information may also be observed, provided they do not interfere with editorial independence.

Transparency

When relevant, we disclose when a game key or access was provided by a developer or publisher. This does not affect our evaluation criteria or published opinion.

Corrections and contact

Factual corrections are welcome and may be updated when appropriate. Disagreement with an opinion, review or editorial conclusion does not by itself result in changes to published content.
