Our Story

Born from a Passion for Gaming

NebulaForges was founded in Sydney in 2019 by a small group of game journalists and competitive players who felt that Australian gamers deserved better — more honest reviews, deeper tournament coverage, and a community built on genuine passion rather than hype.

What started as a weekend blog has grown into Australia's most-read independent gaming publication, with over 85,000 monthly readers, a dedicated review team, and on-the-ground coverage at every major esports event in the country.

We believe in transparency above all. Every review score is earned through hours of gameplay, every tournament report is filed from the venue floor, and every opinion is our own — never influenced by publishers or sponsors.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Everything we publish is guided by these principles.

⚖

Editorial Independence

Our scores and opinions are never influenced by developers, publishers, or advertisers. What you read is what we genuinely think.

🏆

Community First

We write for Australian gamers, by Australian gamers. Our community's voice shapes what we cover and how we cover it.

🔍

Depth Over Speed

We take the time to properly evaluate every game before publishing. No rushed reviews, no day-one scores based on a few hours.

🌐

Inclusive Coverage

From AAA blockbusters to indie gems, from PC to mobile, we cover the full spectrum of gaming for all types of players.
