About Anastasia Maillot

Anastasia Maillot is an Evergreen Editor based in Finland. At TheBestWarGames, she combines her passion for fiction writing and video games to share her love of all things nerdy with the world. Her love for video games started off with The Sims, and has only grown since, with over 3000 hours sunk into Destiny 2 and more in various other titles. While she's not limited to a specific genre and loves everything from AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 to indie gems like Project Zomboid, nothing beats a Bethesda RPG or a raid night in Destiny 2 in her eyes.
