About Alexis Renae Campbell

Alexis is an ex-narrative designer & game developer working freelance in the game journalism industry. Games with engaging stories are her bread & butter, and game journalism is her guilty pleasure (and partially an excuse to justify buying and studying more games). She has graduated from Washington University in St. Louis & Oxford University, holds a Bacherlor's in English Creative Writing and Victorian Literature, and has a minor in GrecoRoman Classics. As of now, she holds multiple awards for creative writing, has published two video games with Atari, and upholds that her greatest achievement is maintaining her sanity waiting for Silksong to release.

Industry Focus

Focusing primarily in the guides department, she specializes in quest and build guides for RPGs and Souls/Soulslike titles. 

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Her proudest Gaming Achievement is simultaneously her most embarrassing Gaming Failure. While learning how to properly modify Skyrim and effectively run a 400-mod load order, she melted her gaming laptop's CPU so entirely that the motherboard was burned through, the processor was smoked, and the laptop had to be entirely replaced. Important lessons were learned.
