I’m re-doing my RSS feeds and noticed all the gaming sites are just regurgitating the same stuff in clickable news links.

I was wondering if anyone follows any sites that cover gaming from a different angle? Whether it’s thoughtfull discussion about game mechanics, the future of games etc or whether it’s investigative journalism?

Thanks :)

    I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread because I would also love to know if I’m missing out on some good games journalism out there. Sadly, sites like what you’ve described are increasingly rare in the modern era. Nevertheless, here are a few that come to mind:

    NintendoLife is pretty great for this if you’re looking for Nintendo-related news, reviews, interviews, and feature articles.

    One of their affiliate sites, Time Extension, is also really good for long-form articles and retrospectives about retro games.

    And while it’s mostly just news, like you said, Polygon will sometimes surprise you with some really excellent feature articles that have a lot of thought and research put into them.

      This one is so interesting… do you know any more sources like this?

      Time Extension,

      Great suggestion thanks!! Hopefully this thread will fill up with some great or even obscure resources.

      Another option i’ve been trialing is trying to get feeds from websites, but only part of their websites. For example of nintendolife, trying to only read pages under “features”.
