We’ve had some truly wonderful roguelikes this year that have taken the standard action or turn-based formula and turned it on its head. That has resulted in a genre that is now more inclusive, welcoming and overall appealing to gamers of all skills. With that in mind - and if you’re someone...

New year, new indie games! Whilst not as busy as some previous months, January 2025 still looks like it will offer some excellent - and rather interesting - new experiences, and we are, as ever, here for it. After all, January tends to be considered the most depressing month of the year so...

If you’re like me, then you grew up on anime and over-the-top martial arts films and shows. Seriously, it was everywhere 30 years ago, with shows like Power Ranger and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles making sure that every kid fully understood the sheer power of being a professionally trained...

Whether it’s Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim, a lot of us have very fond memories of the Elder Scrolls series of games. Yes, we know there are others in the series, but if we are all being honest these three are the cream of the crop. When it comes to the cream of the crop, the open-world RPG...

Dead Cells is arguably one of the greatest roguelikes ever made, with the only real downside being the lack of any co-op mode. Thankfully developer Motion Twin's next game Windblown, rectifies that oversight. While it’s not quite as slick as Dead Cells (at least not yet, it is currently in an...

The world's pre-eminent snake-fearing archaeologist is making his long-awaited return to the world of video games soon but what if you can't wait? Well, thankfully if you’re a big fan of hats, melting Nazis, and finding things that should be in a museum, then we’ve got good news because the...

The best indie games in December are here to ease you through the impending Holidays. It’s absurd that we’re talking about the end of the year when we’re all very certain it was January just last week, but the march of time is an unstoppable and terrifying force, so here we are.  Anyway,...

We often long for the good old days when polygon counts were like, three, and the internet was something we didn’t have access to because it was too expensive. We also have a painful nostalgia for games we played in simpler times, and two of the best of those were Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicle....

Metal Slug is a classic run-and-gun series that’s all about over-the-top action and completely absurd guns. It’s a classic for a reason, but it’s sort of been non-existent in recent years outside of a cross-over outing in Vampire Survivors. Well, that’s all changed now, thanks to Metal...

As a fan of the Life is Strange series you may have found yourself looking at the series and debating which game is the best and you would not be alone in doing that. After all, many of us like pitting the things we love against each other in a battle royale to see which of them comes out on top....

Want the best indie games in November? Of course, you do. With so many games released all the time, both AAA and Indie, it can be a little bit harder to know which ones you should be paying attention to. To make things harder, Indie games do occasionally appear out of nowhere and take over the...

There are a lot of roguelikes out there, but one subgenre that’s been popping up recently is the Match-3 puzzle roguelike. Think Puzzle Quest, but with permadeath and different mechanics. If you’ve not played Puzzle Quest, then you can consider this a recommendation for that as well. In the...
