I've been singing the praises of Captain Wayne this week (just fun start to finish, short but sweet) but one thing that it deserves special credit for is an absolute banger of a soundtrack. It sounds like an arcade game. 100% propulsive guitar n' synth jams that loop seamlessly. Raw action energy.

'Horses' which will be banned on Steam for whatever reason will be available on GoG on December 2nd. www.gog.com/en/game/horses

There's up to 80% off selected Raw Fury Games as part of the Black Friday & Cyber Monday sale. Go grab some awesome gaming goodness: store.steampowered.com/developer/ra...

Yooo! It's #GamingNewsRecap Day! This week RGG is delisting Yakuza games and replaces them with "newer versions", Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 35M copies and Atlus believes there will be something like JRPG 3.0. 4 Pages:

Mohrta is an FPS Demon's Souls-like with so, so much soul. There's some technical rough edges due to the engine choice (GZDoom) and also it being a two-man production, but the atmosphere just shines through. Every level is a unique locations with fresh enemies and the talky characters are loveable.

Speaking of FPS as a platform for comedy, Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion hasn't sold as well as I'd like but has near-perfect user reviews. Beefy playable webcomic about a girl named Shooty (who is borrowing her boss' pants today) stopping a robot invasion and all her dumbass friends are slacking off

We finally got Skin Deep this year and it is *exceptionally* funny. Loved the slapstick gameplay mechanics encouraging chaotic slapfights with enemies, which dovetails nicely with the writing, which kinda sits at the intersection of Venture Bros, Futurama and Jazzpunk.

Void Breaker is absolutely spectacular, and again another near-solo project. A roguelite arcade shooter about creating the world's most busted, world-breaking guns in a breakable, physics-based cyber-world where you heal by dropping buildings on enemies. Such a satisfying mechanic.

Project Silverfish is one weird furry's attempt to make a whole damn STALKER-like almost solo. And they goddamn nailed it too. Fantastic stuff even in early access.

The second half (two thirds, almost) of Cultic dropped just a couple months ago and is one of the best low-fi shooters ever made. I wouldn't even call it retro, just intentionally scuffed up. Pre-distressed shootery.

Speedruns of Windswept are already stupid.

All of us freaks should get it now!

I thought RPG releases were slowing down in the last few weeks of this year, but I'd apparently forgotten one. The Use Of Life just fully launched after nearly four years in early access. A loosely game-book inspired adventure, seemingly inspired by (currently-being-remade) RPG Maker gem Ruina.

I recently discovered @figglewatts.materiality.link Apparatus Exanimus, a giant, exploration-heavy puzzle box of a game with a dense, creepy atmosphere, and King’s Field-style controls. It’s a steal at $7. Check it out 👀 store.steampowered.com/app/3972660/...

I've been following this for a while. It looks like a super polished and thoughtful game in the vein of Ace Attorney or Famicom Detective Club. Even the UI has that satisfying DS adventure game feeling.

In the halls of the High CASTer... Check out "CRADLE - Stage 3" from @barrytopping.com's BIRDCAGE Original Soundtrack! 40+ minutes of hyper-electronic, techno, rock and orchestra-infused sounds.🥚✨ Available now at nostoppingepoch.bandcamp.com

Dang, I'm really happy to see Captain Wayne at 100% positive user reviews. Always nice to see a scrappier, shorter game vibing with people.

Fresh from Captain Wayne, I decided to give another piratey FPS a look - Davy x Jones, which just got its first big Early Access update. I'm still deep in tutorial-ville, but wow, this is a weird one. It has a very floaty, aquatic feel to it. It feels dreamlike and surreal. Deffo gonna dig deeper.

I love how we released this on Thanksgiving and no one on the team noticed, cause we're all European 😅 Oh well

Filled in a few more details and added a few more games to my Big List Of Free PC Games. Did you know that the latter two Penny Arcade RPGs are now completely free? I only found that out today!

Oh, yeah, NPC writing is the best. You can do worldbuilding, add a gameplay tip, or just invent a memorable weirdo. Or a whole city of weirdos. It's great.

One of my most wanted games this week is Death In Abyss. Like 60% Devil Daggers, 20% Star Fox, 20% aquatic horror. Again, excellent demo and my only concern for the full game is that it's going to kick my arse all the way to Davy Jones' locker.

Just 7 days until Scrabdackle Act 1 launches on Steam 🗓️ ICYMI, the trailer from Six One Indie Showcase earlier this year gives you a closer look at @jakefriend.bsky.social's vast world of Scrabdackle and its strange but genuine inhabitants 🗺️ 🪄 bit.ly/Scrabdackle

Santa Ragione are a well-known studio, covered by a great many mainstream outlets. Their latest game will not be releasing on Steam for... reasons? Steam won't tell them why, won't tell them what needs fixing, and won't communicate in general. Every other store will carry it. Just not Steam.

The Secret Of Weepstone demo is OUT NOW! Step into a beautiful, hand-drawn world inspired by the early days of tabletop RPGs, where exploration, combat, and plenty of memorable and occasionally grisly misadventures await. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdfX...

Captain Wayne launching in the next hour or so - been looking forward to this one for a while, and the demo was great. GZDoom-based silliness. There needs to be more cartoon chaos in FPS games.

One of the coolest demos I've played in recent years. Seriously, you don't want to miss out on that!

'Escape from Ever After' launches January 23rd on Xbox One/Series, PS4/5, Nintendo Switch and PC. www.gematsu.com/2025/11/esca...

Rolled credits on it and really liked the game. The pacing felt off at times with sudden mood changes but I adored the sense of adventure and wonder. The light hearted comedy at times got me quite attached to the characters. Left me wanting to see and learn more of the world.

After weeks of teasing, I'm very excited to officially show you all: Gameplay of Calico Wilder! I've been working with @waveparadigm.com, @littlenorwegians.bsky.social, and some friends to build the first of Calico's adventures, and I'm super thrilled with how it's coming along! #indiegame #gamedev

Throwing in one more recommendation for the twin-stick shooter crowd that you might have missed last year - KILL KNIGHT perhaps trades a little redability for style, but it's great too and, honestly, the style sells it too.

Ooh, just had my first proper taste of Sektori, and can confirm what the other arcade sickos have been saying: This is a juicy, refined take on a Geometry Wars'y shooter. It has a Gradius'y powerup system, a recharging melee/bomb attack that immediately restocks if you do it through a score token.

It's in early access, but if you liked Absolum, don't overlook Wendigo Blue. Similar roguelite brawler structure, but it goes heavier on both sides of the equation. Some nice crunchy stat stuff, but also technical, combo-heavy combat Also set in the same world as Valdis Story, if you remember that

That's such a great bundle of 3 games for below 10 bucks. Played Toree Saturn this year and had so much more fun than I expected. It's a colorful 3D platformer comparable to Sonic Adventures with great momentum and nostalgic Y2K aesthetics. Also, Toree is such an adorable mascot!
