AUGUST 20A lifelong PlayStation enjoyer, Emina has grown up with a controller in hand and a love for immersive, challenging games. She went through countless games, only rage-quitting two (but she went back to finish Bloodborne!), and avoiding horror games like the plague. When she is not cosplaying as an astronaut stranded on Atropos, a witcher or the ashen one, she's likely diving into the next big PlayStation exclusive, staying true to the platform that started it all.
Emina's taste in games is as varied as it is telling. She's drawn to atmospheric, story-rich experiences with titles like Little Nightmares and Reanimal, ticking every box for unsettling, beautifully crafted worlds (as long as they stop short of outright horror, mind you). When she's not creeping through shadowy corridors, she's swinging swords and making grand choices in sweeping action-adventures like Ghost of Yotei and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. She also has a soft spot for punishing herself with soulslikes like Black Myth: Wukong and Silksong, though by her own admission, she's more enthusiastic about them than she is talented. She'll get there eventually.
Emina is AltChar's reviews and guides contributor. She plays the games, forms her opinions, and puts them on the page, as simple as that. If there's a new release worth your time (or worth avoiding), she'll be the one to tell you.
