About YunaRevox

Independent game journalism from the bottom of the world — Wellington, New Zealand.

Our Story

Built by Gamers, for Gamers

YunaRevox was founded in 2021 by a group of Wellington-based game enthusiasts who were tired of reviews that felt bought, rushed, or disconnected from how real players actually experience games.

We believe every game deserves a thorough, fair assessment — from AAA blockbusters to indie passion projects. Our reviewers spend meaningful time with each title before writing a single word.

Based at Level 3, 87 Victoria Street, Wellington, we're proud to be New Zealand's go-to source for trustworthy game criticism.
