About Puforexi

A local signal for people who make things playable.

Puforexi is an independent editorial project based in Aotearoa New Zealand. We look at games and technology as lived creative practice: built by people, shaped by places, improved through conversation.

We believe good criticism does not stand above the work. It stands alongside it, asks better questions, and leaves a useful trail.

01 / Specific

Close enough to see the joins.

We avoid sweeping verdicts. Every review names its context, the kind of team it may help, and the trade-offs worth noticing.

02 / Generous

Critical without performing distance.

We can question a process while respecting the people doing the work. Curiosity remains more useful than certainty.

03 / Connected

Made here, in conversation.

New Zealand’s development community is one part of a wider field. We pay attention to local conditions without treating them as a boundary.

Have a subject in mind?

If it helps people make games with more intention, we want to hear about it.
