About Hamza Haq

Hamza is a gaming enthusiast and a Writing Specialist from Pakistan. A firm believer in Keyboard/Mouse supremacy, he will play Tekken with WASD if you let him. He has been writing about games since 2023 and playing them for a lot longer. He’s a PC loyalist to the bone but has a weakness for anything Nintendo. While he mainly enjoys RPGs, he is open to trying new things and exploring different genres, especially indies with cool ideas. When he’s not bent over a keyboard, he’s reading fantasy novels, discovering obscure podcasts, experimenting with home-brewed coffee concoctions, and trying to convince his dad that his career is, in fact, a real job.

Favorite Games

Mass Effect 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pokemon Leaf Green, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Industry Focus

RPGs, Open-World Games, Survival Games, & Indie titles. 

Favorite Console

Game Boy Advance (GBA). My first video game ever was Pokemon Leaf Green, which I played on a GBA loaned to me by a friend. It's one of my most treasured memories.
