About Tyler Colp

Tyler Colp is a journalist and critic with over 15 years of experience writing about video games and PC hardware. He previously worked at PC Gamer, and has been published on sites like Vice and Wired. Criticism and community reporting are his expertise, as well as anything that gives him an excuse to talk about his favorite games, including Diablo 4, Elden Ring, Overwatch 2, and Final Fantasy 14. Otherwise, he's always chasing down the most broken, beautiful, and bizarre things he can find happening in games.
