About Ryan Gilliam

Ryan Gilliam (he/him) has done many things at Polygon since joining in 2016, touching news, guides, reviews, opinions, and curation. He is currently a service writer, and spends his days writing guides for some of the biggest games and recommending the best video games to strangers on the internet. Ryan’s real passion is looter games that never end, and he has spent his entire career covering games like Monster Hunter, Destiny and Diablo. Don’t ask him about Destiny, or you’ll find yourself trapped in a conversation that will never end — please, his family needs him.
