Sunday Sims Spotlight #10: Crystal Creations
Considering how there’s a mountain of content for The Sims 4, it’s incredibly easy to overlook some or all Stuff Packs. Most shouldn’t be ignored by veterans, as they introduce a few nice outfits, some furniture, and maybe an object we’ll use once before moving on to the next family. Crystal Creations is another one…

Atomic Picnic Review – Memorable Bullet Heaven!
Atomic Picnic is an action roguelite that thrives on the joy of the movement mechanic. From the moment we stepped into its bright, anime-inspired world, we found ourselves bouncing, grappling, and flying across arenas with an energy that never really faded. Your main tools are the various Impulse Gears, and they’re much more than simple…

Lost & Found: Returning to One of Indie Gaming’s Best Mysteries
Some games leave an impression while you’re playing them. Others stay with you long after the credits roll. This Bed We Made belongs firmly in the second category. We finished it during a cold afternoon back in November 2023, and despite its relatively short runtime, we still find ourselves thinking about it often. Whenever someone…

Expeditions: Samurai Early Access: A Strong First Step Into Feudal Japan
History has inspired plenty of strategy games over the years, but, for the life of us, we can’t think of a lot of RPGs that throw us into the middle of a real conflict and let us shape its outcome ourselves. Set during Japan’s Sengoku period, Expeditions: Samurai lands us on Japanese shores and throws…

Conquest Dark Review: Borrowing the best parts of ARPGs
Conquest Dark borrows heavily from traditional action RPGs, giving every run a stronger sense of character progression than most of its competitors. It may look familiar at first glance, yet after a few runs it becomes clear that its real strength lies in how it lets us shape a hero from the ground up before…

Sephiria Review: The Bunny Bites Back
The first thing we noticed after naming our bunny Fluffy wasn’t the combat or the colorful pixel art. It was the music. The cheerful soundtrack immediately put us at ease, and watching the wind gently sway the trees only reinforced the feeling that we were about to embark on some cozy little adventure. Since we…

Midnight Moments Review: A Tiny Sandbox with a Big Atmosphere
Midnight Moments is all about building miniature worlds with a cyberpunk vibe. Coming from Happy Volcano, the studio behind the wonderfully chaotic You Suck at Parking and the narrative adventure The Almost Gone, this isn’t what we expected. Nothing is challenging our reflexes here or telling another story. The devs have created a tiny cyberpunk…

OMEA review: AI-powered Narrative Game
The first thing we did in OMEA was try to break it. After creating a viking and landing on a deserted, windy beach, we ignored whatever objective the game had in mind and simply started typing the first ridiculous thing that came to mind. There are no dialogue wheels or buttons marked “Lie” here. Instead,…

Codename CURE II Review: Dumb Fun with Dead Ends
After the success of the free-to-play game Codename CURE, Raptor Byte is joining forces with indie.io to bring a sequel meant to build upon everything that made the first game a fun co-op zombie FPS. Let’s find out if it actually succeeds. Since we haven’t played the first Codename CURE, we jumped blindly into the…

MineGeon: Renegades Review – Digging for Fortune One Run at a Time
Mining, roguelites, bullet-hell combat, and co-op aren’t exactly a rare combination these days. Plenty of games mix those ingredients together, hoping they’ll stumble onto something memorable. MineGeon: Renegades looked like another one of those games when we first booted it up. After spending several hours descending into the depths of PAIMO, though, we found something…
