What Is Gameindustry.com?
Updated
Gameindustry.com is a gaming editorial site that publishes game reviews, industry news, gamer blogs, and podcasts. It is useful if you want a mix of hands-on review coverage and industry happenings in one feed, rather than a storefront or a database of game specs. The homepage shows a rolling mix of reviews, news items, and recurring columns, with a Subscribe link for readers who want updates delivered.
What you'll find on the site
The homepage organizes content into several recurring sections:
- Discover / Latest Reviews — full reviews of current and upcoming games, including early access impressions.
- News and Industry Happenings — short news posts about updates, ports, and industry developments.
- Gamer Blogs — recurring opinion and retrospective columns, such as Michael Blaker's Video Game Tuesday and Retro Game Friday.
- Cartoons and The Podcast — non-text content, including a podcast feed.
- Read More / Load More — pagination controls that expand each section.
Coverage in practice
The review and news mix spans PC and console, indie and established studios, and both new releases and DLC. Examples visible on the homepage give a sense of the range:
| Item | Type | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Earth Must Die | Review | Point-and-click adventure, comedy, voice acting, control issues |
| Star Wars: Zero Company | Review | Tactics game compared across PS5 and PC, bug and performance notes |
| Darkest Dungeon: The Fire's Edge | DLC coverage | New characters (Runaway, Duelist) for an existing roguelike |
| Retro Rewind – Video Store Simulator | Review | 1990s VHS rental shop management sim |
| Flow of War | Review | RTS base building with wave defense |
| Fatekeeper | Early access impressions | Unreal Engine 5 visuals, challenging combat |
| Metro 2033 / Last Light | News | Free next-gen graphics and performance update |
| Stronghold 4 | Demo impressions | Castle building, siege defense, medieval resource management |
This tells you the site is not limited to one genre or platform. A single visit can surface a tactics review, a management sim, a DLC note, and a next-gen update post.
How the reviews are written
Reviews on the site tend to include the reviewer's platform experience and specific friction points, not just a score. The Star Wars: Zero Company piece, for example, describes a poor PS5 experience followed by a better PC run on Steam, while still flagging persistent bugs, weak visuals, and uneven design. The Earth Must Die review notes clunky controls and heavy dialogue as potential patience-testers despite strong visuals and voice acting. If you read a review here, expect both praise and concrete complaints you can weigh against your own tolerance.
When this site is a good fit
- You want review coverage that names specific problems (bugs, controls, performance) rather than only summary verdicts.
- You follow DLC and updates for games already released, not just new launches.
- You like recurring columns and podcasts alongside standard reviews.
- You want early access and demo impressions before committing to a purchase.
It is less suited if you need a structured game database, price comparisons, or store links — the homepage content is editorial, and the only commercial entry point shown is the Subscribe page.
Subscribing
The site exposes a Subscribe link at gameindustry.com/subscribe/. The homepage does not state a price or whether an account is required, so treat the subscription terms as something to check on that page before signing up.
