Six of the eight, on one screen.

Six rules that make a score worth reading.
Three hours, minimum
Nothing gets a number until it has had a proper evening. Small sims get played to the end; pack games get at least three sittings, including one at the hours Australians actually play.
Nobody sees it first
No developer, publisher or PR agency reads a review before it goes live, and none of them has ever asked. The first time they see it is the same moment you do.
Nothing is sold on this site
No advertising, no affiliate links, no sponsored entries. There is nothing on any page that pays us, which is the only reason a 5.6 can sit next to an 8.3.
Every one is a wolf game
You play as a wolf, raise one, or lead a pack of them. A werewolf party game or a shooter with one wolf skin in it does not make the list, however popular it is.
Facts come from the source
Release year, platforms, install counts, age guidance and the store's own rating are read off the publisher's listing, and the date we checked sits under every review.
Written for one reader
Each review ends with who it is actually for. A 6.8 that works with no connection beats an 8.3 that needs one, and saying so is more useful than a ranking.
From install to score in four steps.
One editor, no review copies, no embargoes to honour. The whole method fits on this screen deliberately.
Find it
Free to start, already released, and genuinely about wolves — playing as one, raising one, or leading a pack of them. Anything still marked coming soon waits its turn.
Play it properly
Three hours at minimum, on an ordinary Australian connection, at the hours you would actually be playing — which is when the pack servers are quietest.
Write the caveats first
The things that would annoy you go down before the praise does. If the caveats outweigh everything else, the game does not make the catalogue.
Re-check the facts
Platforms, install counts, age guidance and the store's own rating are read off the publisher's listing on the day the review publishes, and re-read when we revisit it.
What comes back to the inbox.
“Installed The Wolf on your say-so, ignored the pack for two evenings and nearly gave up. Third night I joined a group hunt and finally understood what you meant about strangers co-operating without a word. Been playing since.”

“The offline article saved my flight to Perth. Nobody else bothers to mention that six of these stop dead without a connection.”

“My daughter wanted a wolf game and every list I found was thirty identical apps. Your age guidance column made the decision in about a minute — we went with The Evolution and she has not put it down.”
