Avoid addictive gaming dark patterns

A game review website devoted to helping you find games that don't

gamer. Learn about the dark patterns that game designers use to waste
your precious time and money.

Definition: A gaming dark pattern is something that is deliberately
added to a game to cause an unwanted negative experience for the
player with a positive outcome for the game developer.

DarkPattern.Games is a brand new website. We are starting with iOS
and Android games because this is where most dark patterns appear,
but we will be adding other platforms soon.

Because we are new, we have a lot of games that don't have any
reviews yet. This will improve over time and we are working hard to
get games reviewed. Please help us by finding a familiar game and
submitting a review.
