Hi, I am (a) Machiavellian Strategist, on my channel you will regularly find new videos on a variety of games. As you may have guessed, I like strategy oriented games the most, but my only rule is to play something I enjoy and I am passionate about.
I hope I will be able to share my passion for videogames with you!
