In The Drifter, you play as Mick Carter, the titular drifter, who is heading back home to attend his mother's funeral. Hitching a ride on a boxcar, Mick suddenly finds himself on the wrong end of gunfire as the train is ambushed by mysterious masked soldiers.

Fretless – The Wrath of Riffson is a turn-based RPG where you’ll play as Rob, a musician capable of wielding and controlling an assortment of powerful weaponized instruments, including an acoustic guitar, synth keyboard, bass guitar, and my favorite—the brutally low-tuned 8-string guitar for those epic death metal riffs!

Eriksholm’s namesake is the fictional city it takes place in, a gorgeous slice of 1900s Scandinavia bustling with life and yet teeming with the tension wrought by not only the rise of industrialization and the class divides it’s created, but also a sudden deadly plague referred to as Heartpox.

Ruffy has the ability to SWAP – swap textures, that is – a video gamey-sounding power as I’ve ever heard, but one with unique practical implications in the game’s world of Riverside.  What if you could texture-swap to replace a waterfall with climbable vines so you can reach the top of it?  What if you could switch out metal boxes for wooden ones so they can be broken apart to clear a path through them?  And what if you could swap ocean water for lava to burn that hungry shar

Outrider Mako could be described as a 2D action game, but that would be oversimplifying things as it blends many different genres together. Where do I even start? Well, there are deliveries to make, a bonkers battle system to master, bosses to take down, loot to collect, items to purchase, shops to shop in, nectar to bathe in—phew, you name it, it’s here!

The Gex Trilogy is a collection of all 3 original Gex releases based on their PlayStation versions. Players will receive the original 1995 release, which is more of a traditional 2D platformer, along with its 3D sequel, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and finally Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, the follow-up to Enter the Gecko that continues the franchise's foray into 3D platforming.

The Alters brings a new perspective to this question.  It not only imbues 11 Bit’s themes with fresh and fascinating new ideas, but creates a dynamic, reactive framework from which emerges some of the most creative science fiction I’ve ever experienced.

Date Everything is much like other dating sims out there, only the sexy beings you’re chatting to are all the personification of various household objects, pieces of furniture, food, and maybe even the very concept of electricity.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die shifts our perspective to an unlikely character – Aleksandra, the Queen of Random, who’s been shrunken and weakened as she was forced inside of the evil Black Die, which she must fight her way out of with the help of her companion die, Fortune, as well as a host of side characters she meets along the way.

In Trash Goblin, you’ll play as, unsurprisingly, a goblin who runs a small trinket store. The goal of the game is to chisel out items at customers' requests, clean and polish those objects, and ultimately sell them for profit. I know that probably doesn’t sound all that thrilling, and it isn’t, but that’s kind of the point.

he first thing you’ll notice about Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is that its commitment to being a long-lost Game Boy Advance title goes hard.

"To a T" has you playing as a freshly 13-year-old in a relatively normal town (if we pretend all towns have a giraffe running the local cafes), and this 13-year-old just so happens to have arms that are stuck outright in a T pose.

Love them or hate them, life sims are everywhere, and the popularity of the genre is showing no signs of slowing down. 

Over the years, there have been a few indies that have tried to bottle the magic of titles like Skyrim and Oblivion, to varying degrees of success, and the next contender comes in the form of Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. But is this epic quest crowned king of the indie RPGs, or does it die by the sword?

or those not in the know, Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping is the second in a now-series of casual deduc(k)tion games that take the explorative, fill-in-the-blank format of The Case of the Golden Idol or Tangle Tower and shaves off all the darker, murdery bits. 

Monster Train 2 is both better than the original in a lot of ways and yet doubles down on exactly the aspects about it that occasionally rubbed me the wrong way. 

Tales of Seikyu beckons you in with its many popular gameplay elements, its art style, and its interesting story, inviting you into the unusual land of Seikyu and hopefully keeping you around long enough to help the town thrive, fall in love, and discover the mysteries of the island.

Is The Precinct worth further investigation? Or should it be suspended without pay? Let’s find out in our full review!

To call Drop Duchy’s concept merely an interesting proposition would be to give it no amount of due credit – this is one of the most original genre mash-ups I’ve ever played, and Tetris is only the beginning of it.
