About Us

Firstcodback has been around for over five years, and during that time we’ve played through hundreds of projects, tracked releases, compared genres, and collected our own experiences to share with those who love games as much as we do.

We write simply and to the point: what works, what annoys, what surprises, and who might like this game. No frills or generalizations — just real impressions and a close look at the details. We don’t chase after big words, but explain in a way that’s clear and useful.

If you’re looking for a game that will captivate you for a long time, or want to find out what’s worth paying attention to among the new releases — you’ve come to the right place.

Why Choose Us?

Our Advantages

Before we get to the list, it’s important to clarify that we’re not trying to be “just another gaming site.” We’re simply doing what we’ve always wanted from reviews: honesty, clarity, and no noise. That’s what has become the foundation of our strengths.

We write as it is

We don't embellish impressions or hide flaws. If something doesn't work, we'll say it directly. If the game surprises, we'll explain why.

Time-saving reviews

Only the important: what is worth paying attention to and what is better to skip. You get the conclusion from the first paragraphs, not at the end of the big picture.

Various selections

Want something atmospheric for the evening? Or maybe something with a good plot? We select and recommend it specifically for a specific request.

Own experience

No template texts or other people's formulations. Only your own experience, comparisons, analysis and examples directly from the gameplay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are your texts sometimes shorter than on other sites?

Because we don’t drag out the text for the sake of volume. We give the main thing. If the game is simple and clear, there is no point in stretching the description.

Do you only write about big releases?

No. We’re also interested in indie games, little-known projects, and experimental genres. That’s often where the best experiences lie.

How do you rate a game?

We don’t score graphics or sound separately. We’re interested in the overall interactive integrity: how engaging the game is, how well it balances out, whether it keeps pace, whether you want to come back. The rest is secondary.

Can I suggest a game for review?

Yes, of course. If there’s a title you’d like to read our opinion on, just drop us a line. We’ll review it and add it to the plan.

How does your style differ from other sites?

We don’t try to look “official”. We write for people, not for a report. Minimum pathos, maximum honesty and normal human language.
