Emma Withington
Emma is a freelance journalist who’s been playing games since she could hold a controller and was somehow able to zoom through Sega Saturn’s Panzer Dragoon at the tender age of four. Since then she has acquired several impressive titles, including: Merch Goblin, Final Fantasy 14 aficionado, and Villain Enjoyer – not necessarily in that order. She has covered all things video games in PLAY Magazine, PC Gamer, TheGamer, Eurogamer, Thinky Games, Game Developer, and more – with a particular interest in retrospectives, the funny (and borderline ridiculous) side of games, and the positive impact they can have on mental health. Some of her favourites include: Shadow of the Colossus, Bloodborne, Persona 5, Baldur’s Gate 3, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Alan Wake, Ace Attorney, and has a fondness for the original Saints Row series.
