What's It Like?
At What’s It Like?, I believe games are more than entertainment. They are experiences that stay with us, shape memories, and create connections across generations.
What’s It Like? started as a part-time project driven by a big Nintendo Kid who never wanted to ask himself, "What If?" In 2025, I've taken the leap into full-time journalism, committing to building a trusted, values-driven platform for thoughtful, in-depth gaming content.
My primary focus is on Nintendo, but my passion extends to storytelling across the entire gaming landscape. Through reviews, features, guides, interviews, and retrospectives, I aim to share not just what games do, but how they resonate.

A quick apology for an error in my Dragonwilds Mount Guide.
I accidentally marked the wrong location on the map, which unfortunately sent anyone following the guide directly towards the jaws of a rather angry green dragon. Not exactly the shortcut to a Terrorbird I had intended!
As soon as I realised the mistake, I pulled the video immediately rather than leave an incorrect guide up, and I've now uploaded a corrected version with the proper location clearly marked.
I'm genuinely sorry if you followed the original guide and ended up getting yourself into trouble because of my mistake. Thank you to the person who pointed it out, and hopefully the new version will get you to your mount without requiring an emergency dragon encounter!
The corrected guide is up now.

I made this little NSO challenge for my kids for the school holidays. They’ve got some downtime coming up, and they’re always asking me about the games I grew up playing, so I thought I’d put together a set of fun little challenges they can work through.
There are 12 challenges across some of my favourite games, with each one designed to be achievable in an hour or two. Nothing too serious... just a chance for them to experience some of the games that made up so many of my own school holidays.
Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, The Wind Waker, GoldenEye, Luigi’s Mansion and plenty more.
Should I turn this into a monthly rotating challenge? A new set of 12 games and challenges every month? What do you think?

Who is the BEST 3rd-party developer/publisher on Switch 2 right now in your opinion?
We've had some great third-party support so far, but who do you think is doing the most for Switch 2? (If other, drop a comment!)

Thank you so much for all the amazing feedback on our Elden Ring: Switch 2 Edition review!
I’m running on about two hours of sleep right now, but I’m hoping to get a graphics and performance deep dive out later today. I’ve captured some really detailed areas from both Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree, so I’m looking forward to showing off just how the game looks and performs on Switch 2.
And thank you for all the feedback, both the kind words and the constructive criticism. It genuinely helps us make What’s It Like? a better outlet and improve what we do.
I really appreciate everyone who took the time to watch, comment, and share their thoughts.
Now… coffee. Lots of coffee.

G'day Legends! Just to let you know, I'll be covering Switch 2 news out of Gamescom as best I can on www.whatsitlike.com.au/ and not spamming news here.
The website is completely ad-free and has news, interviews, and other stories that don't make it to the YouTube channel. Enjoy!

Which mistake was worse in my FFXIV coverage?
I somehow managed to pronounce Eorzea wrong AND tank Ifrit without Tank Stance while my party tried to tell me.
Lessons have been learned. I'll do better next time, Warriors of Light!
