Independent game journalism rooted in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our Story

Built by Gamers, for Gamers

Jemarovix was founded in Wellington in 2019 by a group of passionate gamers who felt that mainstream review outlets rarely reflected the perspective of New Zealand players — from local release timing to the hardware realities of gaming in the Pacific.

Today our team of six full-time reviewers and a network of freelance contributors covers everything from AAA blockbusters to hidden indie gems, always with honesty and depth at the core of every piece we publish.

What Drives Us

Our Editorial Values

🎯

Honesty First

We never accept payment for positive coverage. Every score reflects our genuine experience with the game, full stop.

🇳🇿

NZ Perspective

We consider local release dates, regional pricing, server latency, and the unique gaming culture of Aotearoa in every review.

🔍

Depth Over Speed

We finish games before reviewing them. No review-bombing, no day-one takes — just thorough, considered analysis.
