Reviews, analysis, and playthroughs

Games, filtered with judgment.

Cronwen is a personal editorial home base for reviews, analysis, playthroughs, and commentary on games chosen carefully, played attentively, and discussed through a recognisable voice in Spanish and English.

Cronwen's picks

Three games, three different reads

They do not share a genre or a scale, but they do share a reason to come back to them: each leaves behind something worth defending, discussing, or remembering once the screen goes dark.

Scritchy Scratchy

Scritchy Scratchy reads like a joke at first, but it very quickly finds its own rhythm between chance, automation, and that faintly embarrassing urge to buy one more batch.

Dave the Diver

Dave the Diver still feels like five different games stitched together, but it gets an unusual amount of mileage out of making almost all of them feed the same urge: just one more in-game day.

Retro Rewind - Video Store Simulator

Retro Rewind could have coasted on easy 90s affection, but it works best when it turns that nostalgia into routines, weekly rhythms, and small shopkeeping habits you actually want to repeat.

Collaborations

If you want to work with me

I speak to players first, but that same way of looking at games can also be useful for studios, publishers, PR teams, and brands that value clarity, judgment, and an honest conversation.

I am not interested in collaborations by inertia. It only makes sense when the project fits the tone of the site and the kinds of games I am already talking about here.
