One thing I haven’t seen anyone say is, READ. Go read something an article from an author you admire, re-read a piece you were inspired by, or re-read a piece you’ve written before that you’re at least “that was all right” about. A good writer must read.

Fkn YES YES GET AND PLAY THIS

Surely

I am so sick of the world being held ransom by American politics.

Nintendo let @fabraz.bsky.social make a Mario, that’s all I’m sayin

It’s Steam Sale time again, and I just want to point out a handful of absolutely dirt cheap games more than worth what they are being sold at right now.

You know what sucks? That we’re not getting any more Midnight Suns, that’s what

I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on. A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture. We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?" www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...

Great report from @jacksonwryan.com about this mess. To show you all how frustrating this has been -- ClickOut Media's GamesHub still lists me as an active "Games & Tech Editor", and I'm placed alongside their fake AI 'writers'. I've asked them to stop, but these sites are desperate for credibility.

Great reporting at Aftermath for this one. The destruction of GamesHub has been… hard, for everyone involved. Absolutely fucking sucks what has became of a site I started to feel at home at, even if it was only for a while. aftermath.site/gameshub-cli...

Hanging out for part 3 of Riley’s journey where he gets into the intricacies of performing the perfect specky

I know it makes sense in the context of the reply but seeing AFL referred to as a RUGBY-LIKE is KILLING-ME

Tonight I watched Flight For Freedom (1943). There’s a lot about it that’s “of its time”, but I was surprised at how hooked I was throughout and how invested I was in the ending. Uses Amelia Earhart and WW2 backdrop for its story. Even 80+ years on, a great film is a great film.

Everyone out here all hype for PS games, but I’m like… Nic Cage Spider-Man?! Hell yeah www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgMb...

Spoilers for Princess Peach: Showtime, but gotta say Peach just going super saiyan blue and kamehameha-ing the final boss into oblivion is pretty great

❄️ Update: The GAME NARRATIVE KALEIDOSCOPE ❄️ will be published soon - we just sent a proof to the authors. 400 pages - 100k+ words - 118 authors - including the writers from several well-beloved games and major franchises. If you want to be notified when it releases, you can add your name below!

… Oh no my time

So, just went through my wishlist to count - 57 games released in Jan 2026 that look quite cool. Think I’m going to need to start doing monthly roundups to keep up with these releases this year

Great list of independent creators!

HANK: Drowning On Dry Land is like playing through an episode of a kids cartoon that has some neat ideas about Time in video games. Short and just a couple of dollars. www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/202...

What’s the state of releases on the Nintendo eShop? *checks store* “Hentai Banana” *turns Switch off*

This week's indie releases are exploding out of the gate: Jan 12 - Big Hops (@luckshotgames.com) Jan 13 - Hank: Drowning On Dry Land (@mynextgames.com) Jan 14 - Kejora (Berangin Creative) Jan 15 - The Fortress (Baryonyx Games) And more: theindieinformer.com/2026/01/12/2...

Bit late for the year, but have put something together for 2025's indie games. 842 of them, to be exact! Check out this list, I'm willing to bet there is at least 38 games on here you have not even heard of. www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/202...

So this is kinda weird, but I just really wanted to write about Automaton Lung, a really cool 3D platformer from 2022 that you should definitely play. Really really cool thing. www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/2025/10/23/automaton-lung-or-dreamscapes-and-joy-in-3d-platforming

Man, it's been a year. I dipped my toe into a bit of writing for KAKU: Ancient Seal, which was in my GOTY coverage last year and releases on consoles today. It's alright! I feel like it hits at a specific niche which is under-served. www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/202...

Attention fellow AUSTRALIANS! 🇦🇺 We now have an official petition to parliament to STOP MASTERCARD and VISA from its campaign of censorship, restricting what legal products we can buy. Please sign it now, and if you're not an Aussie, spread the word! www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

I recently checked out Artis Impact, a solo created RPG that does a lot with a little, and shines because of how it approaches things differently. Cool game. www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/2025/8/16/helping-the-community-is-the-point-in-artis-impact

Ok I legit feel like this one is going to be one of those blow up indie daring games. Fast follow to A Game About Digging A Hole that has a great premise and great hooks. store.steampowered.com/app/3692070/...

Cool ass game in the steam sale - Void Sails. Steam/Solarpunk, cosmic horror, ship sailing with some combat, narrative DnD sections. 4 hours ish. Only US$2 in the sale. Released 2 months ago at US$20. 100% worth it. store.steampowered.com/app/3367690/...

Fucking, microsoft.

So, I've been gone a while. I've been going through the hardest thing I've ever experienced. Video games, as they do, have helped me through this. So, I have written about that here. www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/2025/6/18/clair-obscur-expedition-33-spiritfarer-and-saying-goodbye

This #TransDayofVisibility we’ve collated a definitive list of 90+ trans games throughout history. Almost 100 games by trans developers and/or with trans representation. Featuring games from: @deconstructeam.bsky.social @maddymakesgames.com and many others 🏳️‍⚧️ checkpointgaming.net/features/202...

INDIKA is so fkn good, and the crickets on it speak volumes. An absolute must play for anyone that cares even the tiniest bit about the idea of games as an artistic medium and/or those that like to think about the idea of games communicating Ideas Through Mechanics

Decided to jump in and take a look at Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone. It's WAY better than the mixed review rating on Steam would imply. It's a seriously solid open world RPG even in EA. www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/2025/3/15/chernobylite-2-exclusion-zone-has-that-spark-of-something-really-cool

I’ve decided I’m going to train my brain on every movie, tv show, book, video game, newspaper, article, online video and image so that I can be the smartest person alive, so really I should just get access to everything for free (without ads of course, they will only taint the data)

Undertale for such a low price… I mean come on.

Looking forward to this one! The Trese Bros are some of the most dedicated devs to their games - they’ve been putting out weekly patches for their other excellent game Star Traders for ~SEVEN YEARS~ in 1.0 onwards. The EA of Cyber Knights is already cooking HARD

Ok this is VERY cool

So, this took me a while to piece together. Everhood 2 is a fascinating game on many levels. I think you should read my piece, which contains full spoilers, before playing it. www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/2025/3/11/everhood-2-is-a-transcendental-mess-that-stuck-in-my-brain

BOTW > TOTK is the correct take

Very much this. Think about the term “woke”. Common right wing attack line. A word originating from black communities, literally as a way of being “awake” to the injustices of the world, ie “not asleep, a sheep, a drone” etc. It’s used by the right as literally the opposite and means nothing.

Incredible bundle supporting a good cause! Tunic is an obvious headliner, but there are SO many incredible games in this! It’s a no brainer to donate at least the minimum, and is well worth much more!

Whoo! The Local is out now. A mashup of Jet Set Radio and Quake/CS bunnyhop/surf maps. It's also (mostly) free. There's a supporters version with one extra checkpoint race mode and some customization, but everything else (including multiplayer) is free. It is very cool and you should play it.

This is one of the most awesome things and I’m so proud of Player 2 and everyone that makes that website such an awesome one

Hey! There’s a load of great indie games to check out in this new charity bundle, titles like Eco Mofos, Liminal Horror, Runecairn, Rosewood Abbey & literally hundreds (766 to be precise) more for just €5 All money goes to help those in València hit by the floods last year itch.io/b/2858/amor-...

I am SO excited about Microsoft perusing genAI in all their games. I can’t wait to completely ignore their output, spending more time on the 1000s of already fantastic games that exist that I haven’t already played. Backlog catch-up time!

This is one of the best steam bundles I’ve ever seen. Every single game here is absolutely top tier. Deadeye might by one of my favourites of all time, and it’s not even finished yet

Race a tiger beetle, blow up a pipeline, eat some dry leaves! You can do anything as an isopod! 🦐🧲 Isopod demo is OUT NOW and will be available until the end of Steam Next Fest on March 3rd! store.steampowered.com/app/2053910
