Long-Form Articles and Guides
Each article on Gaming Zebra is written from scratch, researched carefully, and structured to be read from beginning to end rather than skimmed for bullet points. Topics range from genre introductions to technical breakdowns of specific game systems.
We write for readers who want to genuinely understand a topic, not for search engines looking for density. Articles are reviewed before publication and updated when information changes.
- 1,200+ words per article minimum
- No paid placement or sponsored content
- Corrected promptly when errors are identified
- Written for beginners — jargon is always explained
Game System Analysis
Some articles go deeper than surface-level descriptions. Our analysis pieces take a specific game system — damage calculation, progression curves, balance decisions, or UI design — and explain how it works and why developers make the choices they do.
These aren't reviews or opinion pieces. They're structured explanations written by people with relevant experience in game design and analysis. The goal is to give readers a better conceptual model for understanding games, not to evaluate them.
- Based on observable game behavior, not speculation
- Covers mechanics across multiple genres
- Focused on understanding, not recommending
