Independent game criticism from the bottom of the world. We play everything so you know what's worth your time.
Qesunavor was founded in 2017 by a group of Wellington-based gamers who were tired of reading reviews written by people who clearly hadn't finished the games they were covering. We set out to do things differently.
Every review on this site represents dozens of hours of genuine play. We don't publish until we've seen the credits roll โ or, in the case of open-world games, until we've exhausted the content we care about. Our scores mean something because we earn them.
Based in Wellington, New Zealand, we cover PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo titles. We accept no advertising from game publishers and are funded entirely by our readers through newsletter subscriptions and direct support.
Three principles that guide every review we publish.
We finish every game before scoring it. No review is published based on early access or partial playthroughs.
We accept no advertising from publishers. Our scores are never influenced by review copies, relationships, or commercial pressure.
We write for New Zealand gamers. We factor in local server availability, regional pricing context, and the NZ gaming community's preferences.
