My Favourite Game isn’t just a publication — it’s the destination its 180,000 registered readers come back to between sessions. Pull up a chair.
One free email a week. No clickbait, no filler. Each issue lands with the week’s best long-read from the site, an editor’s pick from a 2,400-strong game-hub archive, and a single reader-driven discussion thread for the comments.
A community moderated by the same editorial team that writes the reviews — so the conversation in #dark-souls-builds tomorrow is the same crew that filed the long-read last week. Three rooms, open to visitors, below.
Where 1,400 readers swap bleeding, faith/arcane hybrids and the off-meta weapons the patch notes forgot. Threads hit 200+ replies during a DLC week and the moderators pin anything that survives a sober second read.
Weekly party-up nights, origin debates, and a long-running Tav tier list that quietly resets every patch.
Heat-level logs, broken-boon spotting, and a friendly scoreboard for the weekly community challenge.
No vanity counters, no inflated MAUs. The four numbers we’re most often asked about — taken from our own dashboards, March 2024.
Weekly Friday send, free. Top 3% of Substack Gaming by open rate.
Moderated by the same staff who write the reviews.
Surpassed in Q2 2024 across the site’s history.
Each with at least one named staff moderator.
Community statistics reflect self-reported dashboard figures; we do not present them as formally audited.
The Discord isn’t there to extend a game’s patch notes — it’s there to extend its life. The same writers who sit down to file a 2,800-word review are in the channels that night, arguing about the build they wish they’d written about.
