Gorilla Showdown: Rhythm Meets Carnage
Imagine just for a moment an arena shooter where you dodge bullets from heavily armed monkeys. Now, on top of that, imagine trying to hold a musical rhythm. It shouldn’t work, right? But in Sloth King’s just released Gorilla Showdown, it absolutely does. It easily could have been a gimmick, but ends up being a…

‘Super Farming Boy’: A Fresh Take on Farming Games
Developed by LemonChili Soft, Super Farming Boy is action-puzzle hybrid. It’s a game that trades meticulous backpack management for superhero-lite shape-shifting and chain-reaction puzzle solving. Although we haven’t played the game, from what we’ve seen, the premise is absurd in the best way. A cartoonishly greedy corporate villain has kidnapped close friends to the protagonist.…

Unspoken Connection: Making ‘Find Your Words’
We usually associate video games with loud, explosive moments—frantic button-mashing, sprawling dialogue trees, and high-stakes combat. So, what happens when a game strips all that away, and your only real objective is figuring out how to say “hello”? That’s the premise behind Find Your Words, a quiet, deeply personal exploration game from artist Vic Nyugen…

Alexey Testov and the Dark, Emotional Roots of INMOST
Games bearing player discretion warnings for heavy themes rarely arrive in the form of bite-sized pixel art. But INMOST, the puzzle platformer from Hidden Layer Games, delivers a quiet, agonizing gut punch by weaving together the tragic lives of a knight, a child, and a wanderer. This interview would not have been possible without the…

Treeplanter is a Guilt-Free Terrarium
Treeplanter: Plant real trees is a small, quiet experiment. It manages to do something most big-budget games wouldn’t dream of. If you buy this game, Henry Driver, who is the lead dev and a farmer himself, actually goes out and plants a sapling. Then he takes care of it fir years to come. We feel…

We hope you are looking for a break from action-heavy blockbusters. If you do, The End of the Sun might catch your eye. The game is created by a tiny two-person team from Poland over the course of eight years. It’s a first-person adventure game drops you into a beautiful, if somewhat lonely, Slavic fantasy…

Valorborn Wants You Dead, and That’s Okay
Valorborn is one of those games that don’t give a wooden nickle about your hero complex. The game drops you into a massive medieval simulation and tells you to figure it out. Or die trying. Dying happens a lot. No one will hold your hand here or whisper sweet nothings about your magical destiny. This…

Two Minds, One Moon: The Genius of Pragmata
Capcom teased us for years with weird holograms and a sad android girl. There was something clearly special about the game, even though some were extremely doubtful whether Capcom could actually do anything with this new IP. Now that Pragmata is finally out, the long wait makes sense. Playing two games at once sounds like…
