Deer & Boy tells a friendship without a single word, and lands where few games dare. A boy on the run, a fragile fawn, no dialogue. A silent, moving platformer, short but sincere, betting everything on the bond. 6/10. insertcoins.press/articles/dee...

Chrono CCG turns time travel into real card mechanics, and it's devilishly smart. Agents that immortalize, timelines that flip, an action chain. Ambitious and deep, if it finds its crowd. Built by genre veterans. 7/10. insertcoins.press/articles/chr...

Beggar's Road drops you in the medieval mud of Liège, 1407, leading a band of beggars who ration misery while pigs stand trial. Funny, cruel, full of character, but harsh for anyone who dislikes suffering. 6/10. insertcoins.press/articles/beg...

Wyldernook makes everyone play at once, turning a card game into a bluff duel. Simultaneous turns, up to four players, predict your opponent before the reveal. A clever idea, hanging on the community it still has to build. 6/10. insertcoins.press/articles/wyl...

Runeveil lets you chain runes until you break the game, which is exactly the point. A sequencer roguelike where artifacts rewrite everything. Thrilling when the build takes off, still a bit green in Early Access. 6/10. insertcoins.press/articles/run...

Rift Wizard 3 is ugly, brutal and bottomlessly deep, and that's a compliment. A turn-based wizard roguelike: 500 spells, an open build system, new crafting. Zero concessions to comfort, dizzying tactical depth. For the determined only. 7/10. insertcoins.press/articles/rif...

Disc Golf Masters is the real deal: officially licensed discs, honest flight physics, wind to read and angles to pick. A sim built by people who actually play the sport, and it shows on every throw. Demanding but accessible. 8/10. Dev: Spin-Off Games insertcoins.press/articles/dis...

14 years. arenanet said "guild wars 3" at summer game fest. prequel set 1200 years before GW1. action combat. speed converts to damage. dynamic world events. ps5 day one. UE5 instead of their own engine. unknown business model. action pivot is a risk. #GuildWars3 #ArenaNet #MMO

one gate. one horde. you in the middle, sword in hand. boss every 5 minutes. relics that evolve your troops. synergies to find. solid loop. but in a saturated survivor genre, it executes without disrupting. 6/10. insertcoins.press/articles/the-gate-must-stand-test #TheGateMustStand #Roguelite
