Rebecca Jones

After a six-month stint at VG247 back in 2021, Rebecca (she/her) finally settled in as a permanent addition to the team in 2023. A former member of staff at our sister site Rock Paper Shotgun, she's also had her writing featured on Eurogamer and PC Gamer over the course of her seven-year career.

She holds a BA in English and an MA in Medieval English, and isn't entirely convinced she's putting the latter to its most logical use writing about a medium that's barely 50 years old, but at least she's enjoying herself. A veteran fan of the life sim genre, she's racked up 2,000 hours of play time between The Sims 4 and Animal Crossing: New Horizons alone, and still isn't sure whether that's a badge of honour or a source of shame.

Agnostic when it comes to platform, AAA vs indie, or free-to-play vs premium, Rebecca is nevertheless very clear about what she most likes to play and is way likelier to know a lot about a game if it features sad teenagers, hot lawyers, or kissable vampires; in other words, she particularly enjoys horror games, visual novels, adventure games, dating sims, and RPGs. She can also be heard enthusing about her favourite indie games over on the Indieventure podcast.
