About Samiee "Gutterpunk" Tee

Samiee, otherwise known by their pen-name “Gutterpunk”, is a non-binary writer who got their start in 2016 by writing too many words about Tom Clancy’s The Division. What follows until now is a journey spent searching every single corner possible for an experience worth talking about. If you’ve seen it, there’s a high chance Samiee’s played it, and if they haven’t, then they sure as hell know a comparison.

 

Deeply opinionated, Samiee watches from the sidelines to find thematic relevance on broader topics that surround the video gaming landscape in order to provide an angle that you’ve (hopefully) never seen before. 

 

When not searching every storefront for a good deal on a potentially unknown classic, Samiee can be seen feverishly searching music websites for a soundtrack to the day, or engaging in an argument about which shoegaze album from the 90s is the best. Whether or not that accolade belongs to Ride’s “Going Blank Again” doesn’t matter, what matters is that if their mates are unsure of what to listen to, Samiee will throw a playlist in their general direction.

A puzzler more interested in its own cerebral thoughts than player enjoyment, Q.U.B.E. 2 is a vastly underwhelming title that is only saved by its gorgeous visuals.
