What Is...? Video Game Review Series | Story, Gameplay & Honest Reviews

Every Game Has an Origin Story. We Dig It Up — Then Break Down If It's Worth Your Time.

Ever pick up a game and go "okay but what IS this thing, really?" That's the whole idea behind What Is...?. Each episode I dig into where a game actually came from — the background, the dev drama, all that — before breaking down the gameplay and the story itself, and then closing things out with my honest take on whether it's worth your time (and your wallet).

But here's the fun part: every episode kicks off with a little intro skit tied to whatever game we're covering that episode. They seem like standalone bits at first, but they're all secretly building toward one bigger story that pays off in the season finale. So yeah — you're getting a full game review AND a mini story arc, all in one series.

If you've ever wondered what makes a game tick — the history behind it, what it's actually like to play, and whether it earns a spot in your library — this is that series. Go binge the playlist and let me know what game you want covered next.
