I loved Sisu: Road to Revenge—violent, bloody, and fun. It's better than the first movie in the series. Heavy influences of Fury Road and Indiana Jones are in its DNA. See it with a crowd if you can! #filmsky 📽️ 🎥 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

My praise may seem hyperbolic in my review, but Absolum from @dotemu.bsky.social might be the best beat 'em up I've played. This is the new gold standard. The art from @supamonksstudio.bsky.social begs to be an animated series, and Guard Crush outdid themselves. Review: @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social

ILA: A Frosty Glide from @magicrainstudios.bsky.social and @firstbreaklabs.bsky.social is a charming, cozy platformer with a gliding movement mechanic that feels great. #indiegame #PS5 #Steam #Xbox #NintendoSwitch #PC #cozygame 🎮 Read my review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

The Good Old Days from Yokogo Systems and GRAVITY is a really special Metroidvania and a heartfelt tribute to The Goonies and other classic 1980s adventure films. #steam #pcgaming #steamdeck #switch #metroidvania #pixelart 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

Pale Coins from Austrian solo dev Lukas Irzl is an excellent blend of Zelda-like ARPG with soulslike combat mechanics. It's got gorgeous pixel art and plays great on Steam Deck! #soulslike #RPG #ARPG #PCgaming @steampowered.com #SteamDeck #indiegames 🎮 Review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

Casebook 1899 - The Leipzig Murders by @homonarransstudio.bsky.social takes us back to turn-of-the-20th-century Germany for a detective adventure that looks like a VGA era classic. Thanks @theindiexp.bsky.social! #pointandclick #adventuregame #indiegame #pc 🎮 Review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social

I loved seeing Black Phone 2 from Scott Derrickson & @crobertcargill.bsky.social. It owes a lot to other movies, but it still felt unique. I particularly liked the use of 8mm film. Go see it on the big screen! @blumhouse.com #horrorsky #filmsky 🎥 📽️ Full review is at @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -
