This week in games, the trend is titles set in a taiga featuring protagonists with amnesia! That’s oddly specific, but let’s run with it! First, Grizzly Man was announced (and you’ll want to read more about it here). Now the spotlight turns to Angst: A Tale of Survival. Teased before under the working title of Project Papillon, the survival-roguelite hybrid…
I’m sorry for being many hours late, lovely readers. Saturday was insane and I hit a wall yesterday. This article got delayed entirely because of where it falls chronologically, not because the games are lacking. They aren’t. It was actually quite difficult to narrow it down to a handful to…
Read MoreI have two things to say before I get started on my highlights of the Xbox Games Showcase 2024. One: screw Call of Duty, I’m not watching that or writing about it past a release date. Two: I don’t care if this was a showcase for Xbox generally speaking, this…
Read MoreThe video game trailer burnout is getting real, or so my eyes (and brain) are telling me. The Future Games Show is a long showcase at the end of a long day so it could be easy to overlook some games or the presentation as a whole. But let’s not…

This year, there seems to be a good amount of my fellow Canadians on the list – congrats y’all, happy to see you! I’ve highlighted a handful of my favourite games shown off today…
Read MoreDevolver Directs are always a highlight of this hectic week, mostly because each one is crazier than the last. Last year’s Devolver Direct featured Wizard with a Gun, The Talos Principle II, Baby Steps, and Human Fall Flat 2; that’s a pretty big line-up, but I think this year’s is…
Read MoreIf you’re looking for the best indie titles during this annual gaming showcase week, it’s usually a pretty good bet that you can find a lot of them through Guerrilla Collective.

Read MoreI do not know what I was thinking when I didn’t include the announcement of Odencat’s next game in my Indie Live Expo 2024 catch-up, but I am here to rectify that issue now! My first Odencat game was Fishing Paradiso, and I’ve found the same charm from that game…
