Biography
I'm a critic and reporter, with a diverse life experience that lets me explore stories from a unique angle. As a reporter, I'm interested in stories about how games and the people who make them fit into a cultural moment, as well as the nitty gritty of design and craft. As a games critic, my particular interests are strategy games, interactive fiction, procedural generation, and story-led experiences. With my interests in people, culture and narrative, I'm looking to branch out into wider culture and entertainment writing in 2022.

By Ruth Cassidy Verified| Unwinnable Verified You feel compelled to support great writing…When Life Eater asks me to pick out a target for ritual sacrifice who “won’t be missed”, I can immediately rule out the person who doesn’t sleep alone. It doesn’t feel great. Not because I have a good reason to want to pick them – but the opposite, in fact. I don’t know much about them at all, and now that I’ve ruled them out, I can’t justify the time or resources to find out more about them.
By Ruth Cassidy Verified| Eurogamer Verified Broken Roads neglects its best ideas, padding out its runtime with fetch quests that leave you asking "why am I here?" for all the wrong reasons. My favourite RPGs are the ones that really consider exactly who the character is - or can be - in their world.
By Ruth Cassidy Verified| Unwinnable Verified Mosa Lina is a hostile game. It presents you with a random selection of nine levels, and a random selection of nine tools, three of which will be rolled – at random – each time you enter a level. This stacking of chance on top of chance means it’s possible to end up with a series of levels you’ll never be able to beat, and you won’t know until you try. Nothing is explained, and the tools you use to approach the physics puzzles are obtuse.
