About

Manifesto
We've all been there. A 9/10 for a broken game. An embargo that lifted on release day for a technical disaster. A review that reads like a lightly reworded press release.
InsertCoins.press was born from that frustration.
This site holds one position: a gaming media outlet has one job. Tell the truth. Not flatter publishers, not maintain press relationships, not balance scores to avoid offending anyone. Say what we saw. Say what we felt. Say what we think.
We play every game we cover. We stand behind every word we write. We don't apologise for having an opinion.
What we do
Reviews
Complete reviews, played to completion. No first-hour pieces, no preview sessions dressed up as tests. We finish games before we write.
Previews
When we got our hands on it before release, we tell you what we saw — and what concerns us.
Features
Going further than the news cycle. Retrospectives, analysis, investigations into games and their culture.
Industry
Layoffs, acquisitions, pricing, business models. What happens behind the games matters too.
The team
InsertCoins.press is an independent project, founded and run by a single editor.
Alexandrosse
Founder, Editor-in-Chief
A lifelong gamer, journalist by conviction. Speciality: games that deserve better than their average score, and industry trends no one wants to name plainly.
