If you ever thought to yourself, “Boy, I could surely go for a video game that’s basically the first ten minutes of Pixar’s Up,” then you’re getting exactly what’s coming to you.

I do enjoy a good digital board game from time to time, and so when Invokyr arrived in our inbox, I was actually quite excited to give it a go, despite not being the biggest online gamer

Silver Pines is a 2D survival horror game with light Metroidvania elements that immediately draws you in with its unique, almost rotoscoped visuals and thematic callbacks to pre-existing media like Twin Peaks, or one of my favorites, David Lynch’s Blue Velvet.

Order of the Sinking Star comes from puzzle game aficionado Jonathan Blow who, despite some questionable political opinions, has created some fantastic puzzle games in the past, with Braid and The Witness under his belt, which I assume has a very complicated buckle attached.

On paper, End of Abyss feels like just the remedy I'm looking for - an equally atmospheric horror title that mashes the grimy, cinematic vibe of Little Nightmares into a full-fledged metroidvania with actual combat mechanics. And who better to take it on than the folks at Section 9 Interactive, a Swedish indie studio led by some former Tarsier developers?

It’s ironic that in Garfield’s latest 3D platformer he finds himself trapped in a nightmare, as over the years most Garfield games have been a bit of a horror show.

On a seemingly weekly basis, the metroidvania genre tries its very best to outsaturate itself, with so many new entries in so little time that most of us probably couldn't beat them in our lifetimes. But no matter how crowded a genre like this gets, a truly interesting game in it is likely to get attention when it's as polished and fun as Well Dweller.

Early thoughts based on the first four hours of this musical indie RPG.

Trivia Murder Party III is not only the third entry in the franchise, but the first one released as a standalone, fully independent of the developer's traditional release format.

Kernel Hearts reeks of mediocrity throughout and, ironically, lacks any real heart.

By day, Blackwood is an exciting new third-person action game that promises to give you the chance to feel like a proper John Wick. By night, it’s a complete pile of trash that is so broken and boring that you’ll want to hire an assassin to put you out of your misery if you decide to spend any money or time on Act 1 of this game.

Shroom and Gloom is, well, gloomy, foreboding, hopeless, and dreadful; perfectly so, I should say. You may not know exactly how you’ve found yourself in these dark, thorny tunnels…but you’re absolutely positive that you need to get out now, now, right now.

Welcome to Elderfield is the newest Kwalee-published game from developer Chris Cole, and unlike normal farming sims, this one doesn’t have you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Instead, it gives you that cold feeling like someone you can’t see is standing right behind you.

Halloween is one of the few decades-old horror franchises that, in my opinion, aged well enough to scare people even today. One would think there could be tremendous potential to capture Michael Myers’ unique brand of terror in game form. But alas, this simply isn't it. I'll give you plenty of reasons why, but in my opinion, Halloween is as destined as any other to release to an enthusiastic audience that drops it like a rock within a week or two.

If you’re looking to play WheelMates with a friend in the same room via 2-player splitscreen, you’re in for a great time, and I’m happy to tell you all about what that experience is like.

Marsupilami 2, if the name doesn't already give it away, is a sequel to Marsupilami Hoobadventure from 2021, and whilst I haven’t played it, it was interesting and felt quite nostalgic in a weird way to watch SilentSigns' review of it to see how the IP had changed and hopefully improved. And it has vastly improved in terms of its gameplay, but still falls a bit short in some areas. You can play as three cartoonified marsupial-inspired characters, each with their own power.

Released for the Amiga in the early 90s, it’s understandable if many of you have never even heard of Apidya, a name pulled from the Greek “Hexapoda,” meaning six‑legged insects.

Despite its playful yet self-deprecating title, Yet Another Zombie Survivors isn't just that, and even though I'm not well versed in the genre, I was astounded by how much I enjoyed this game.

gunplay across branching paths and more than 10 unique levels packed with enemies, bosses, secrets, and even arena-style combat sections reminiscent of the All-Range Mode from the Star Fox series.

First - the obvious. Duskfade is gorgeous. The artists who made it clearly worked overtime, as every environment looks resolutely stunning and full of color. The animation work is also tremendous and makes this look and feel like the work of a major developer and not a small studio releasing their first title.
