A survival horror where every single resource matters, right down to the blood in your veins. 🩸
The debut title from Vermila Studios, answer to the Sun God as champion and fend for your life in Crisol: Theater of Idols.
Review by @writer-mach.bsky.social: www.qualbert.com/reviews/cris...
The first game is so-so, starts off quite slow and is a bit too cutesy. The second game is absolutely brilliant, wonderful cast of characters, and surprisingly mature narrative. I'd skip the first and go straight for Wings of Ruin.
Same here - will never forget the moment I beat the Pokémon League for the very first time. Felt unstoppable!
30 years of unforgettable memories. 💛
The latest game in the series, Pokopia, launches today, and to look back on the series, it's amazing to consider the influence that Pokémon has had on so many of our lives.
Do you see your first ever Pokémon game in this picture? Let me know which one it is!
Huge win for an incredible Aussie game! One of our favourites from PAX Aus last year. 💪
Digging deeper into the characters and lore of its colourful sci-fi planet, indie studio @wishfully.bsky.social delivers a stellar follow-up.
Embark on a deep narrative without even a single word in Planet of Lana II. 🌏

Return to Neva with this new DLC, a brief prequel to the visually-stunning title from @nomada.studio, the developer behind GRIS.
Is this prequel worth diving back into Neva's heart-warming yet harrowing world? Find out in our review.

Have a scroll back and you'll find some pretty weird stuff. Like me eating the box art of Sonic '06. An unforgettable moment.

A parasite is spreading across games media, and it's already claimed several of your favourite websites.
Brilliant article from @jacksonwryan.com on the atrocious practices of Clickout media, the fall of GamesHub, and why gambling (or "iGaming" - I hate that term) has its sights set on our sites.
The Boss died for this. 😭🫡

Can a thirty year old franchise serve up enough new screams to remain relevant, or is it a stab in the dark?

Can we send him to the US? Because it's clearly where he belongs.
Worth going for the true ending. There's soooooo much more to the game after you roll credits the first time.
Mewgenics is DONE! 🐈
140 hours later and finally obtained the true ending. An absurd, immensely addictive tactics game from start to finish. Might hold up as one of the best indies ever made.
No doubt there will be more content in the future. But until then, all of my nights I'll be chasin' rats.
Here's a cozy indie game that will really grow on you. 🌱
With puzzles themed around gardening and plant growing, Tiny Garden has its roots in '90s nostalgia.

With news of more games media layoffs, this seems like a good time to share my Indie Games Media starter kit — it’s more important than ever that readers directly support their favourite publications and writers.
For the last 5 years, I have pitched to @metacritic.com for our reviews to be included. Despite having 400+ reviews and 15 human staff, we're knocked back each time.
To see Metacritic instead approves outlets that publish reviews written entirely by AI (with AI "writers") is beyond disappointing. 😔
The latest entry in Team Ninja's blood-drenched soulslike, Nioh 3 takes risks and mixes up the series formula.
With enhanced combat, extensive exploration, and enemies that don't hold back, this latest entry delivers the perfect balance of chaos and freedom.

It's the most wonderful garbage of the year! 🎶
The rubbish saga continues and god damn what a find!
Just picked up this LG Ultra Gear monitor - used to own this exact model. Amazing display and fully compatible in Tate mode (perfect for shmups).
No idea if it works, but will test it out tonight.
I had a chat about the concept a little while ago - like this community libraries but for games. Most people liked the idea, but seemed to agree that games would most likely get stolen (even if they weren't particularly valuable).
My reaction when I saw this just sitting on the street haha
Just doing my part to help people recycle. 😁
Hahaha "dodgy Christmas" is the perfect name for it. 😂 I feel like a gremlin going through everyone's discarded presents.
It's hard rubbish/kerbside collection at the moment in my suburb. So I went for a walk yesterday to see what people were throwing out (and if there was anything worth grabbing).
Was shocked to find somebody had thrown out a stack of games! All these complete and in surprisingly good condition too.
