About Will Buckley

Will is a writer at The Best War Games - fresh out of university with a four year degree that gave them the best five years of their life. Whether its ranked, tiered, or a humble "to-do", they love a good list.

Beyond a love for video games, Will is an avid reader and an obsessive DM with a love for the minutiae of world-building. Is the gnomish uprising of 1132 relevant to the campaign? No. Will they stop writing about it? Also no.

Industry Focus

Will is a writer for The Best War Games, hoping to build momentum and become something of a fixture in the community as a reliable source of gaming news and insights.

RPGs, SRPGs, JRPGs, and the occasional ARPG are all Will's genre of choice. While not a colossal MMO person, Elder Scrolls: Online has been a powerful lesson for them on the peaks and troughs of Massively Online titles.

Favorite Games

Dragon Age: Origins awoke several things within Will. Namely, a love for video games beyond casual play and also their bisexuality. Triangle Strategy, an often overlooked Square Enix title, has the graphics, gameplay, and sophisticated story that is just about everything Will looks for in an RPG. Stellaris - for its roleplaying potential, also takes a spot among Will's video game darlings.
