I just finished Keeper, and I don't even know how to describe it, besides telling you that it's one of the most gorgeous and interesting games I've ever played and that you should absolutely play it too.

Buy Winter Burrow | Xbox Winter Burrow is a cozy woodland survival game about a mouse returning home to restore their childhood burrow. Explore, gather resources, craft, knit warm sweaters, bake pies and meet the locals.

I just finished this one up tonight, and it's very cute. If you like cozy games where you collect and craft things, a fun story, and adorable mice, this might be for you!

It's on GamePass or $20 on Steam.

140 is so good. I played it at the ID@Xbox event before PAX weekend a few years back and then went home and immediately bought it.

If you add in Knights and Bikes and then someone makes a game about swimming, indie games will be triathlon sims.

Did you know? In the earliest FPSes, back in the 90s, Nazi insignia were *how you knew who to aim at*

Every gamer is now exactly 36 years old and everyone else just plays 5 free to play games that are inscrutable to everyone over the age of 55.

I know nothing about this game except that it's free on the Epic store right now and it looks adorable. Honestly that's probably enough to know.

The Switch 2 FOMO is hitting pretty hard today. I know there is no reason for me to own one, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want one.

A friend of mine who loves books and maybe plays 1-2 narrative games a year asked me about Expedition 33.

Sadly, I had to tell her not to bother (she's very bad at games since she never plays)

Really hope they implement an actual "story" mode eventually so everyone can experience it.

Destructoid Checkpoint - This is why the games industry is about to get a lot worse. One more bite and the ouroboros might just choke.

This is an extremely interesting article that every gamer should read.

We also talked about Relic Abyss, a Vampire Survivors-like (is that a thing?) that we also really enjoyed.

It also has a great demo here: ⁠https://store.steampowered.com/app/3017760/Relic_Abyss/

Shroom & Gloom, a first-person, roguelike deck builder with a super unique art style.

We at United Videogame Workers-CWA condemn the studio closure of Cliffhanger Games by Electronic Arts. 

In an industry that generated over $450 billion and padded EA CEO Andrew Wilson's pockets to the tune of $25.6 million in total compensation in the year 2024, workers should not have to be subjected to this dehumanizing treatment. 

These hardworking families and industry veterans must now scramble to find new work during a time of increasing economic volatility, while the game that they worked hard on will never see the light of day. 

And for what purpose? For EA to be able to write off the cost of the studio and game production as a "business loss" on their taxes and make their stock prices go up. Making this disastrous decision following EA's previously announced RTO policies and commitment to DEI is an insult to injury to those already trying to stay afloat in the industry, particularly to the disabled, those with families, and Black and brown game workers. 

We as workers and the players who stand with us in solidarity deserve better and demand better.
