Lindsay picked up an NES controller for the first time at the age of 6 and instantly fell in love. She began reviewing GBA games 20 years ago and quickly branched out from her Nintendo comfort zone.

First came Amnesia: The Dark Decent in 2010, kickstarting a new genre of survival horror games (or so the developer claims, it’s up to you to decide).
