Lindsay picked up an NES controller for the first time at the age of 6 and instantly fell in love. She began reviewing GBA games 20 years ago and quickly branched out from her Nintendo comfort zone. She has has developed a great love of life sims and FMV titles. For her, accessibility is one of the most important parts of any game (but she also really appreciates good UI).
I don’t entirely understand newly announced FMV game Blippo+ is, but I don’t think I’m meant to. Either way, it doesn’t matter: I’m fully invested. In my mind, I’m already throwing every cent I have at Panic. Who needs to do things like pay a mortgage or feed a family when you could play… “play”?… whatever this is? The title…
When it comes to showing off unique games, no showcase can top Day of the Devs. There are three showcases annually, with this being the last of the year. (See you next June!) As always, this edition of Day of the Devs features world premieres, first looks, and deep dives…
When someone asks me about my favourite games, whether in recent memory…
Wholesome Snack is done for another year, so I’ll feel cozy and…
I’m not entirely sure what to expect of the Future of Play Direct, and I like that. It’s being held by Glitch, a creator-led movement bringing bold new forms of play. It seems likely that we’ll see some really innovative things, and hopefully some games that are also just plain…

Anytime there’s a Wholesome Direct, I’ll basically drop everything to watch. I’ve never encountered a showcase so likely to illicit an “awwwww” response so many times! I’m a little bit in the dark about what to expect this year… except Ooblets. I 100% expect Ooblets to be featured, as the…

It’s time for Guerrilla Collective’s third annual showcase! There’s so many games to talk about this is actually just the first part – Guerrilla Collective 3.5 will happen a couple of days from now. From its Steam page, we can already gather what games will be talked about across these…

Today’s second and final recap is Freedom Games. It has published (and will publish) many titles I’ve been interested in, and I’m exciting to see what’s to come. Freedom Games is relatively new; it was founded in 2020 and built on the notion of partnership. Its published games include To…

Tribeca Festical’s Games Spotlight is a new addition to our usual June coverage (this is its second year), and I’m very excited by it. We already know what games will be involved, so I won’t spoil anything for those who don’t; what I will say, however, is that Sam Barlow’s…

It’s time for our last recap of the day, Devolver Digital. I honestly have no idea what to expect with this one, as Devolver has had some whacky, subversive showcases in the past. Limited Run Games tried and failed to have a narrative this year, so we’ll see if Devolver…

Day of the Devs is a recap I’ve added to my (long) list at the last minute; I somehow missed its announcement. Day of the Devs is from two companies I respect quite a bit, Double Fine and iam8bit. This is it’s tenth anniversary, so happy birthday to yoooou! What…

Climate change (the Great Climate Catastrophe, specifically) has caused what is basically the apocalypse on Earth, but Mars… Mars has hope. The region of Hightower is flooded and acts as a safe zone between two dry (and unsafe) regions. There are rumours of an escape to Mars, so Nikos begins…

This week picks up a little bit today, with multiple showcases scheduled. We’ll be covering two of them. Up first is the Upload VR Showcase. Now, I’m not going to lie: I’m not fully invested in VR. It’s not that I don’t think it’s a great idea, it’s more because…

The week is about to get very, very hectic when it comes to gaming showcases – despite there being no E3 this year – but today we only have one showcase to focus on. Black Voices in Gaming is a non-profit created to highlight and support Black game developers, and…
