Nick Suttner is a writer, podcaster and game-industry advocate best known for his thoughtful work on distinctive, auteur-driven games, including Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian: An Extraordinary Story. Beginning as a games journalist at EGM and 1UP.com, Suttner later worked in developer relations at PlayStation, helping champion independent creators and unusual projects. His books combine close observation, interviews and personal reflection, treating games as authored works shaped by design, place and feeling. From his Boss Fight Books study of Shadow of the Colossus to his work on Future Press’s extensive Last Guardian companion, Suttner has repeatedly returned to Fumito Ueda’s worlds and their creative histories. Through writing, podcasting and advocacy, he has become a distinctive interpreter of games as interactive art, craft and deeply lived experience.
