About Matthew O'Dwyer

Matthew (he/him) is an Evergreen Editor at DualShockers. He has been in games media for two years. He has held various roles, such as staff writer, writing specialist, and editor. 

During his time with DualShockers, he has written guides, lists, features, and reviewed some of the biggest games in the industry.

After graduating from Stetson University with degrees in English and Creative Writing, he went on to receive an MFA in Writing from Seton Hill University.

When he isn't playing games on his PS5, Series X, or Nintendo Switch, you can find him scouring YouTube for the hottest takes in gaming.

Industry Focus

When I'm not hunched over my laptop or dreaming up features for the site, I'll likely be reviewing the latest PlayStation and industry news.

Favorite Games and Genres

My top five games are Baldur's Gate 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, The Last of Us Parts 1 & 2, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and No Man's Sky. I have to give an honorable mention to Persona 5 because it pains me not to include a JRPG. I love a good open world, a strong narrative, JRPGs, and action-adventure games. 

First Game Console and Preferred Platforms

My first console was the NES, complete with Mario and Gremlins. I currently own a PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X.
