Clint Maximus

Clint Maximus covers games at What's Hot in UAE with one operating principle: finish the game before you review it. In a space full of takes written from two hours of preview access, that distinction matters. As Gaming Editor, he covers the full range of the medium — from major console releases and long-awaited sequels to the indie titles that land without fanfare but deserve an audience. His reviews of Death Stranding 2, Little Nightmares 3, and Cronos: The New Dawn have drawn consistent engagement from the UAE's gaming community, a market that punches well above its weight in console and PC adoption. The UAE has one of the highest gaming penetration rates in the Arab world, and What's Hot in UAE's gaming coverage reflects that — written for people who already know the genre, not people who need it explained. Clint's work covers release dates, honest verdicts, and the new game release guides that UAE players actually bookmark before a long weekend. Based in the UAE, he has been covering gaming since the era when you had to import physical copies to play anything before the regional release date.

Cronos: The New Dawn Review

The word survival horror can mean a lot of things in this day and age. For me, when I hear those words I instantly think of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dead Space. Cronos: The New Dawn does bring together a lot of great ideas in that genre. While clunky and, do I dare say, typical/cliché…

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach – A Masterpiece?

As a gamer eagerly anticipating Death Stranding 2, I reflect on my history with Kojima. Hideo Kojima and I have had a pretty solid relationship since way back in 1998. I remember seeing Metal Gear Solid for the first time at a friend’s house and being instantly sucked into that world. That’s the thing—Hideo set…
