Zake Hayes writes guides on GamesRecon for RPGs, shooters, and anything else likely to kill you before explaining why. His walkthroughs focus on strategies, tricky mechanics, and the sort of expert tips that save you from learning a lesson the expensive way. He is particularly fond of Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Baldur’s Gate 3. When he’s not untangling brutal quests or learning the best way to put a bullet through something important, he will be poking around sprawling game worlds for overlooked details, strange side stories, and secrets the developers hoped you’d miss.
