My review of the videogame @1348exvoto.com by Italian studio Sedleo and Dear Villagers is now online on Gay dot it. It includes a closer look at the homotransphobic attacks the studio has faced in recent months. The reason? A lesbian knight. 🏳️‍🌈

L'opera di The Outer Zone è stata pensata e rifinita in ogni dettaglio per offrire un gameplay di cui è difficile stancarsi. Di @giscoli.bsky.social.

Öoo is now available on Nintendo Switch! 🎉 If you have friends who don’t own a PC, I’d really appreciate it if you could recommend the Switch version to them! 🐛💣 www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

Non tutti i videogiochi cercano di accogliere e gratificare la propria utenza. Alcuni, al contrario, sembrano costruiti per metterla alla prova, irritarla, perfino umiliarla. Di @gua-le-ni.com.

I played this game recently and this article perfectly captures the (often unpleasant) feelings it evokes. 👇

The world is ending and I trusted this little monkey #Blemo it's a very short free game about tourist traps (like Dubai?)

A good cup of coffee and a mystery (well Seven to be precise) #paranormasight

Hi! I have a new, quirky article out on how games use and represent the dead, but also on deadpool games, & the strange case of the #Fantamorto (an Italian fantasy sport). >> gamestudies.org/2601/article... << 🚨WARNING🚨: it might contain traces of @ckunzelman.bsky.social and @maurovanetti.itch.io

Agree but this guy down here is no joke #felvidek

👻Shadows of the Afterland is OUT NOW!!!👻 Carolina arrives in the afterlife, in the wrong year and the wrong soul. A long, bumpy road culminates today, and I couldn’t be prouder of this game. ⚫✨ Would you help me spread the word? Cross over now: https://shadowsoftheafterland.com/steam

Children at school, wife at work. A cup of coffee (bought in Istanbul), my fav mug (bought at Barter books, Alnwick) and Device 6 (bought on Switch 2 from @simogo.com). I am a simple man

"We are essentially watching the mainstream video game industry transform from a creative powerhouse into a high-end museum gift shop, where the primary business model is selling us souvenirs of experiences we had twenty years ago rather than creating new memories." 👇 Read this please

Don't disturb me for the next couple of hours (sitting by the fireplace with a cup of coffee and the Steam Deck on my legs). @inkle.co

it's almost time to meet Mara Whitefish again

Why censor Horses when two stylists (?) can do this and even get applauded? I find it much more disturbing. @santaragione.com

After about 20 hours, lots of A, A+, and a few S+, I just finished the best rhythm game of all time with a B+, and that's okay. 🎶❤️‍🩹 @rd.7thbe.at

I just finished my first video game of 2026. It took me about 20 hours just to be called stupid, and in fact I am because now I'm waiting for someone to post a video essay that explains the story and lore properly. It's a shame it came out in December, otherwise it would have made my GOTY list

I wrote [in italian] about Horses 🐴 @santaragione.com www.ludicamag.com/horses-far-i...

That's a good read. But many of my favorite games this year are still based on exploring and delving into a single mechanic: Öoo, Motion Rec, Spooky Express, Strange Jigsaw

I made the mistake of posting this #SkateStory review on the same day as The Geoffs — and it got buried. It's a fantastic, weird, vibey game... RTs for exposure appreciated! 🍿 youtu.be/-j6iPpWqKnA

This is my article about The Berlin Apartment, with many references to books like La chiave di Berlino by Vincenzo Latronico, Here by Richard McGuire, Berlin by Jason Lutes. Enjoy @bluebackpack.bsky.social
