Georgi was only a wee child when he discovered the wonders of blowing up bad guys in Unreal Tournament. Since then, he’s grown into a game maker, a connoisseur of weird indie offerings and a madman writing about said things on the internet.

Recently, a friend of mine told me he’s spent more than 100 hours documenting his adventures in Skyrim. Every encounter with deadly skeletons, drunken jarls and menacing dragons, written down in painstakingly clear detail inside a physical notepad. At that moment I had the sudden urge to see…

Retro game development (as in making new games for outdated consoles) isn’t put in the spotlight all that often. That’s why I was surprised to see Escape 2042 on Kickstarter. It’s an old-school, 8-bit platformer in development for Gameboy, Megadrive, Dreamcast, and Windows. The pitch video is a bit confusing….

If you’re a fan of Super Metroid, then you’ve probably heard of Ghost Song: A Journey of Hope. Eerie, haunting and ethereal, it seeks to encapsulate nearly all great aspects of metroidvania titles while throwing in some tasty Dark Souls flavours for good measure. And since…

As the year comes to a close, a lot of Kickstarter campaigns seem to be dashing through the snow to bring their backers some merry Christmas updates. (My deepest apologies for the festive puns.) Formula Fusion’s latest update is certainly a case for that, as…

Slowly but steady, The Long Dark is turning into one of the most atmospheric and challenging survival games out there. And while it’s been some time since we’ve had a major update, Hinterland has just revitalized its game by adding a new map and some…

Two weeks ago, we showed you a glimpse of Expanses – a then upcoming VR game all about exploring pretty low poly environments through your phone. Using a control method incorporating nothing but players’ eyes, the game has now stepped into reality with a brand…

It’s no secret that Steam’s Early Access is flooded with identical looking, run-of-the-mill zombie survival games. Countless bugs, atrocious inventory management and plenty of murderous virtual psychopaths seem to be common characteristics for nearly all games fitting the genre. The Withering, however, is a bit…

Exciting days are ahead of KING Art Games, as the studio behind The Dwarves just announced its latest project: Iron Harvest. Directly inspired by Jakub Różalski‘s breathtaking, mech-heavy rural WWI art, the game offers a real-time strategy experience similar to Company of Heroes and Men of War. In…

I don’t think I’ve ever played a game where a wolf was the main character. There was this one time in Dark Souls when I had a close encounter with one of the creatures. Although, that mostly involved me quietly sobbing in the corner of my room…

Nevermind is one of the few games which actively tries to make you look like Robocop. Up until now, this psychological horror allowed you to hook up a heart-rate monitor, enable motion-sensors, and play with eye-tracking gear. Now, this odd puzzle of immersion seems to be finished with two…

Giant hulking mechs with an unreasonable amount of weapons and insane jumping abilities. If that got your attention, then I should probably tell you a bit about DUAL GEAR. It’s a tactical action game with turn-based combat partially inspired by JRPGs, currently in development. The game’s been residing…

Last time we wrote about Lost Ember, the developers were carefully preparing to enter Kickstarter’s flaming depths. As an attempt to amass an early following, the campaign launch was set to happen once Mooneye Studios hit 5000 newsletter followers. There was even that pretty Gamescom teaser trailer which…
