About Vlad Mazanko
Vlad Mazanko is a list writer from Ukraine, and a passionate gaming enthusiast. One who enjoys not-so-great games like Anthem, Mafia 3, Mass Effect Andromeda, Marvel's Avengers, The Callisto Protocol, Outriders, etc.
Industry Focus
Writing about games since 2013, with years of experience in gaming news and a wide range of factual knowledge about the industry. My newest passion is doing lists about my favorite games and genres here at The Best War Games.
Favorite Games
Some of my favorites of recent years include Elden Ring, Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4, Marvel Snap, Forza Horizon 4, Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Gwent, God of War, Black Myth: Wukong, Grim Dawn, and The Witcher 3.
Favorite TV Shows
With a recent renaissance in video game adaptations, I greatly enjoyed Arcane, The Last of Us and Fallout series. Other notable TV shows and mini-series I'd recommend to anyone are Legion, Watchmen, Euphoria, Undone, True Detective, Sugar, and Fargo.
