About Ryan Thomas Bamsey

Brought up on mascot platformers and role-playing games from Japan, Ryan has been passionate about gaming for over two decades and has been writing about games for half as long. As an editor, he gets to blend his love for writing with a lifelong hobby.

When he's not working or gaming, he can usually be found baking, reading about pirates, or watching classic sitcoms. He also loves manta rays and has a master's degree in clinical psychology that he never intends to use.

Industry Focus

Ryan is the deputy lead guides editor, helping the best guide writers in all the land produce the most helpful content for you, dear reader. In addition to his work in guides, Ryan also writes reviews, features, interviews, and angry scrawls about his pet peeves.

Favorite Games

Ryan is totally at home with RPGs, strategies, simulations, point 'n' click adventures, and visual novels.

His last five GOTYs have been Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, Cult of the Lamb, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Crusader Kings 3, and Untitled Goose Game.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

In his career, Ryan's proudest achievements include reviewing entries in the Final Fantasy, Disgaea, and Baldur's Gate series, attending big gaming events despite the crushing weight of anxiety, and being able to mentor newer writers in the industry.

When it comes to pro gamer time, Ryan's most proud of completing Final Fantasy Tactics using only AI-controlled characters, finishing a randomised Nuzlocke on every Pokemon game up to Sword and Shield, and getting a Gold HHA Trophy in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
