About Fatemah Athar

Fatemah grew up playing all kinds of games, initially finding a home in the very first installments of Counter-Strike and Warcraft. From there onward, it was pure grind — all day, all night. Eventually, time constraints forced her to drop the grind and shift to RPGs. Well, she hasn't looked back since, and her knowledge now encompasses a wide range of games, from the initial Lego-like, Gra-BASIC Dangerous Dave to Super Mario installments, massively online multiplayer games, and modern RPGs.
