DuneCrawl is an open‑world action‑adventure title that blends exploration, combat, and upgrade systems into one strange, ambitious package. Its massive desert world is genuinely impressive in scope for an indie crew, offering no shortage of deadly foes to defeat, resources to gather, upgrades and weapons for both crab crawlers and keepers, and side quests for completionists.

Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition picks up from the events of the first game but takes place in an entirely new location. On a quest to find his kidnapped girlfriend, Tomba, now joined by his partner Zippo, will once again need to battle back swine, journeying toward a Coal-Mining Town

Skate Story finds itself in an odd position where watching a trailer for it can be a captivating experience in its own right, but doesn't tell you much about what the game is. And that's not an easy question to answer, either. Skate Story could ostensibly be viewed as a distillation of skating games like Tony Hawk or Skate through the flashy, presentation-focused lens of something like Tetris Effect or Lumines Arise.

Perhaps just a bit overshadowed by its many competitors was Blood, a viciously violent first‑person shooter developed by Monolith Productions, powered by the Build Engine, and published by GT Interactive.

Taking place entirely on a Lunar Base, ROUTINE does an incredible job of creating a tense atmosphere. Players will thirst for answers about why this place has become what we see today. Moody flickering lights, destroyed halls, and a once-thriving, now decrepit mall are just a few of the many details that draw you into the experience. It’s absolutely gorgeous, further brought to life by an incredible soundscape that simply must be experienced with surround sound.

In MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, 15 of our favorite comic book heroes and villains join forces to stop an evil wave of annihilation! Players will bash their way through a full campaign that can take anywhere between 3–5 hours to complete, while also enjoying an arcade mode, which offers a more classic gameplay experience with the option of different difficulties and modifiers such as freeplay.

AILA is a horror game about horror games that features a whole host of horror genres and references to other horror franchises; it is really a horror-ception if you will allow me some terrible wordplay.

When I first laid my eyes on Constance, a 2D Metroidvania game developed by btf, my first thoughts were, “My God, this game is gorgeous.” Its painterly style jumps off the screen with vibrant colors and stunning animations that remind me of cartoon series such as Over the Garden Wall, Adventure Time, and even Gravity Falls.

R-TYPE DELTA: HD BOOSTED is more or less the same game that fans of the original 1998 release are familiar with. It’s a tough-as-nails arcade shoot-'em-up that allows players to pilot three different ships, along with a bonus armored craft that can be unlocked through gameplay.

Demonschool is a tactical RPG centering around young demon hunter Faye, who is eager to begin her education at a university on the mysterious Hemsk Island. Ok, so she’s actually less enthusiastic about the education part and more enthusiastic about potential run-ins with demons.

Morsels is a frantic and, quite frankly, bizarre action roguelike that feels a bit like Binding of Isaac had an illegitimate child with Pokémon. Players control a small mouse that blasts through disturbingly beautiful and increasingly odd landscapes, taking down monsters and entering mouse holes as they battle against their one true enemy—CATS (would you expect anything else?)

What FOREstrikes me the most about Forestrike is that I’ve never played a roguelite quite like it.  The closest game I can think of is Shogun Showdown, which, first of all, you should prioritize playing if you haven’t already, and second of all, feels sort of like the turn-based analogue to the type of game that Forestrike is.

With Possessor(s), developer Heart Machine seems hell-bent on calling it anything other than a Metroidvania, and while it very much is—with shades of a few other genres including soulslikes—for the sake of using their description, let’s go ahead and settle on calling it a “platform fighter-inspired action adventure.”

Syberia is indeed back, with a visual overhaul and gameplay tweaks, but the same old story that at least some of you know and love.

eon Inferno absolutely oozes with style. Its pixel-art visuals are jaw-dropping—some of the best you’ll see in any indie release—with grimy, neon-soaked landscapes that take you everywhere from an opera house to futuristic parks and cities.

Bounty Star makes a terrible first impression. Its awkward character portrait art and animations are immediately apparent, alongside poor voice acting performances and dialogue that seems to have a strange fascination with not only its lead character’s buttcrack, but asses in general.

Now I know what you’re thinking, Ashton, PowerWash Sim 2 isn’t an indie; the first one was published by Square Enix… and while you are right, you are also WRONG because PowerWash Simulator 2 has been developed and published by FuturLab, and therefore I am allowed to review it, and BOY HOWDY was I excited about it! This cleaning simulator absolutely baffles those who don’t play it as to how it can possibly be fun, but does the sequel live up to the hype of the original? Or is

Ball X Pit’s story isn’t the least bit important, but what is important is that the city whose remains form its titular pit is called Ballbylon, and it’s really hard not to appreciate how stupid that is.

Absolum is an arcade-style brawler with a twist that allows for up to two players either locally or online.

Yooka-Replaylee is an updated version of the original game that keeps the skeleton intact but adds some welcome changes that make it a much more enjoyable experience.
