About

Pocket Verdict started as a group chat between three friends who kept sending each other weird little games nobody else seemed to talk about. Eventually the recommendations got long enough that we decided to put them somewhere public, and here we are.,We only write about games after we've genuinely spent time with them. No skimming a trailer and calling it a review. If a game needs ten hours to click, we give it ten hours before we say a word.,The games we cover are picked by curiosity, not popularity. We lean toward indie developers and smaller studios, and we try to cover every genre we can stand to play — from slow strategy to twitchy arcade runs.,Nobody pays us to appear here, and we say so on every page. If we didn't like something, we'll tell you why, and we'll tell you who it might still be right for.
