The Visionary

My Philosophy

Since my first console, I knew this was more than a pastime. I believe games are a powerful form of art, narrative, and human connection. My focus? Deep-dive RPGs that respect your time, gripping narratives that challenge your perspective, and the raw, untamed creativity of indie developers.

Our Mission

PlayVision is my hub to connect with the amazing Pinoy gaming community. Here, we don't just 'play' games; we analyze them. We'll explore game design, unpack storylines, and find the 'why' behind our favorite titles. This is a space for thoughtful discussion, not just hot takes.
