I’m Kryptic.

Where the hours go.

Final Fantasy XIV leads the way with more than 1,300 recorded hours. Skyrim Special Edition and Civilization V both pass 800. That’s a lot of time spread across an MMO, an open-world RPG, and turn-based strategy.

Counter-Strike follows with over 600 hours. Total War: WARHAMMER II, RimWorld, and Kenshi also account for hundreds of hours each. My library has room for big adventures, strategy, colony-building, and sandboxes.

Putting those hours into words.

Kryptic Workspace is where I’m starting to turn that experience into reviews, guides, and personal rankings. I want room for the details of a particular game, but also for conversations about characters, ideas, and the things an experience leaves you thinking about.

There’s plenty in the library to draw from. This is my place to share what I make of it.
