Focus: Well-designed highbrow content.
Best Feature: Beautifully presented feature articles. Although Polygon is a relative newcomer compared to most on this list, the team behind its sleekly designed pages are anything but. Launched in 2012 by the ex-editor-in-chiefs of various sites such as Joystiq, Kotaku and The Escapist, Polygon has quickly made a name for itself as a publisher of some of the best highbrow content in video games journalism. Living up to its name, Polygon specialises in high quality feature articles that tend to approach a topic from an unusual angle. In particular, their articles often focus on the development process behind video games, in an entertaining manner that sets it apart from much drier sites such as GamesIndustry International. In addition to their features that look at the human side of game development, Polygons reviews are also remarkable for their scholarly analysis that acts as more than just a buyers guide.
