when i first played Void Stranger, I was binging the game in one sitting only to close it five seconds before this scene. think that made the whiplash hit even harder tbh, i still tear up watching it back

Void Stranger spoilers - don't recommend watching if you haven't played and any words in the phrase "multi-meta-layered grid-based puzzle game" sound cool. Was just thinking again about how this was one of the most incredible moments I've ever experienced in a video game. youtu.be/mnX9DalgxBM

Taking the excuse to gush about this game again: as a boomer shooter it already rivals many commercial releases imo, *and then* there's an emotional throughline to the project that you only get from smaller indie teams (and this is a solo dev!). Must play for fans of the genre.

Just a reminder that End Of Starchild is COMPLETELY FREE, on my GOTY shortlist, and the last thing I wrote for PC Gamer as a freelancer. Play it. But probably play Time Tripper (a Doom mod, not standalone) first. msx.horse/tt/ msx.horse/eos/

End of Starchild is the best Doom-blooded project I've played in a while. Among other things, it really leans into the feeling of Doom being a first-person smhup. You'll need to be comfortable with boomer shooters to get the most out of it, otherwise it's a full recommend. msx.horse/eos/

Gonna keep hooting and hollering about this game all weekend, because I've upgraded my opinion to 'Actually the coolest thing ever made with the Doom engine'. It's not the biggest, or the most technically impressive. But it has the highest density of soul-achingly COOL moments and sights and sounds

Oh wow, yeah. I've only just scratched the surface of it by End Of Starchild feels like it might be one of the coolest things ever made with the Doom engine? Fully freeware and standalone. msx.horse/eos/ All these screenshots are from the same game It's seemingly a followup to 2021's Time Tripper

Casualties: Unknown reminds me a lot of Hideous Destructor, in the way the medical systems seem to dwarf the rest of the game in importance and complexity. I wonder how much community overlap there is lol.
