New Bloody Roguelike Is Scottish Dynasty Warriors And It's Awesome
Tears Of Metal Review: A Scottish Spin On Dynasty Warriors
They may take our lives, but I can do another run and try again in Tears of Metal
kotaku.com
Tears of Metal is launching in a couple hours and they hit 500k wishlists before launch. An incredible achievement for one of the first studios we ever worked with!
Anytime I go to our local library I see they have really cool indie games and it warms my heart. Really sad to think it’s coming to an end very soon…
Desktop Explorer features among the most complex puzzles I have ever played. They are also deeply rewarding. Solved through a fakeOS interface, its eerie atmosphere while uncovering the mystery of your late uncle creeps in masterfully. A must-play for puzzle fans. Here's my last review this week.
Desktop Explorer Review – This Old Tech Is Frightening
Desktop Explorer tells a convincing fakeOS-based cursed tale, even if its layered puzzles prove complicated more often than not.

Toem 2 is one of my most anticipated indies of 2026, and the demo did not disappoint! I like the new platforming bits, and using the camera's viewfinder to use other tools is a cool addition. Also, I LOVE a pipe puzzle! Would recommend checking it out!✨️ store.steampowered.com/app/4694330/...

📷🚁 Time to go mobile The tripod in TOEM 2 has gotten a snazy new upgrade! Not only is it super cool and flies around, but we've made it a simple button press away, compared to being in a menu in the original. Maybe you will be able to give it a try yourself soon 🧐 🤔
I got to play a bit of Toem 2 last week and would very much like to play more www.polygon.com/toem-2-demo-...

Played Mixtape in Jan 2025, still plenty of greybox unfinished stuff and it was already a 10/10 to me. The main thing for me is its pacing. It's unrelenting. It's edited to perfection. Like a Mitxtape should be.
IGN@ign.com · 3mo agoA musical delight from start to finish, Mixtape sets a new standard for coming-of-age stories in video games and does so with a masterful sense of style. Our 10/10 review: https://bit.ly/4tEkAad
