With its recent launch on Steam and the Switch, 13AM Games’ Double Cross is quite the genre blend – a combination of platformer and adventure game with a multiverse narrative. And some crime-solving thrown in for good measure. Double Cross puts you in the role…
Much like how Vane’s main character can transform between a bird and a girl, Vane itself transforms genres throughout the course of the four or so hours you spend with it. Despite this, the game remains a mysterious and unnerving experience throughout, with a narrative…
The Kickstarter campaign for The Cow Game is probably the biggest concentration of cow puns ever in a crowd-funding page. If that’s not a reason to back it then nothing else is. However, if you still need more convincing The Cow Game is a promising arcade-like title….
Hive Jump is a cross between a twin-stick shooter and a roguelite. While it doesn’t really excel in either of these genres, Hive Jump is a surprisingly great party game. Originally funded by a Kickstarter, Hive Jump was previously released on Steam and strangely enough WiiU. It has now…
It’s common to feel left out after year’s end, with seemingly everyone talking about all the great movies, shows and video games that you missed out on. Between games such as Celeste, Return of the Obra Dinn, and Florence, there were some real indie gems…
Awesome Games Done Quick 2019 has finally begun! The bi-annual speedrun event will be benefiting the Prevent Cancer Foundation, which focuses on cancer prevention and early detection, both within the United States and internationally. Running from January 6th to 11th, the biggest speedrunning organization in…
Kenshi ended up being one hell of an interesting game to review. With the game clocking in hundreds upon hundreds of hours of gameplay at it’s most basic it was a tricky proposition to play the game long enough for a decent review. It did…
Dead End Job is one of this year’s most promising games. It is a procedurally generated twin-stick shooter that puts you in the shoes of a Ghostbuster. A greatly unappreciated Ghostbuster. He’s not a supernatural crusader, just a pest controller doing his menial low-paid job. Using…
Video games are a unique medium, they excel at putting us in the shoes of other people. Wish fulfilment and fantasy lead us to play as a superhero or a God, or a Lovecraftian-monster who happens to be leading a cult. In the case of…
2018, another in a growing line of trash-fire years, is finally over. On the indie gaming front, it was okay year, if not spectacular. Return of the Obra Dinn, A Case of Distrust, and WayHaven Chronicles: Book One are likely the only games your humble…
Growing up there has always been pets in my household. Though it wasn’t until my teenage years did we have indoor cats. As cute and lovable as they are, at night in particular they can be pains in the butt. Especially when you are trying…
Kaze and the Wild Masks manages to hit a decent balance between old-school, nostalgia-driven platforming, and controls that feel more in-line with modern gaming. The developer Vox Game Studio claims to have combined their favourite childhood games to make the game, and the signs of…
Even though Halloween isn’t for several months, 2019 promises a full year of scares with these upcoming horror titles. Indie horror has taken a quiet downturn recently, with notably polished releases becoming less and less frequent. It’ll be refreshing to see what these upcoming horror…
It seems almost defiling for a mobile game to so truthfully and efficiently boil a jumble of feelings so complex and revered as love to a few animated comics, pieces of music, and mini-games, all in under one hour. But Florence absolutely does just that….
2018 has been a wonderful year, there has been so many excellent indie games on all the platforms to play! Not to mention all the mainstream title too. Unfortunately I started on the scene a bit late so there is a huge backlog of awesome…
Kenshi is a game that has been in development for over a decade, and has both scale and detail to match. The strategy RPG is so deep and complex, that it can take over 40 hours to simply understand how the game works. Wow. That…
