About Nyah Payne
Nyah Payne has been playing games since she was little, and writing for even longer! She graduated from Falmouth Univeristy with a degree in Game Development: Writing, getting to combine her two biggest passions. She spent three years in gorgeous Cornwall developing video games, researching the industry, and writing detailed articles about games. A great deal of thanks is owed to her team mates and lecturers who made the experience so fulfilling, and the work she produced can be seen on her website.
Now she is thrilled to continue her journey writing about video games and other media for The Best War Games. A huge fan of anything fantasy, horror, or post-apocalypse, she has a particular love for branching narratives. She is also a huge nature lover, and will always be happy to discuss that one animal from that one piece of media that is just too cute for its own good!
Favorite Games
My current favourite game is Baldur's Gate 3, as seen by the amount of articles I write about it! I am also a huge fan of the Supermassive Games, and both branching narratives and horror games. My favourite genres lie somewhere in between fantasy and post-apocalyptic horror!
Industry Focus
I enjoy writing both about and for video games, with most of my articles talking about compelling narratives, particularly those that branch! These are also what I tend to write in my free time.
Favorite Console
I've grown up with many a console, from Xbox to Nintendo, and I do a fair bit of PC gaming, but I'm really a PlayStation girl at heart. Some of the incredible narrative PS exclusive games really tip it in their favour for me!
