Planet of Lana II from @wishfully.bsky.social + @thunderfulgames.bsky.social is one of the best games so far this year. Cinematic, beautiful, moving, and feels amazing to play. 9/10 #indiegames #ps5 #nintendoswitch #xbox #pc @planetoflana.bsky.social 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

No one makes games like @sssuda51.bsky.social and @ghmofficial.bsky.social. Romeo Is a Dead Man is a chaotic, bloody, punk-rock fever dream that's a must play. #videogames #ps5 #xbox #pcgaming 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

Love Eternal from @brlka.com and @ysbryd.net is available now. Don't miss this one! #Indiegames #horror #ps5 #nintendoswitch #pcgaming 🎮 On @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

Lots of games explore these themes, but I found Studio Cima's approach in The Perfect Pencil exceptional. Thank you @planofattack.bsky.social for the review code! #indiegames #metroidvania #nintendoswitch #pcgaming 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

MotionRec from @playismen.bsky.social and @donutshunter.com is an absolutely brilliant puzzle platformer. I loved it, and you should check it out! Thanks to @oneprstudio.bsky.social for the review copy. #Indiegames @steampowered.com 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

I really loved the comic book from @kylestarks.bsky.social and @artyomtopilin.bsky.social, so this was a bummer. I wasn't a fan of the I Hate This Place game adaptation. Do better with your titles, @skybound.bsky.social! #indiegames #comics #horrorsky 🎮 Review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

New video out today! An interview with Jakub Lisiński of @mynextgames.com about the incredible Hank: Drowning on Dry Land. The game is available on Steam and shouldn't be missed! #indiegames #gamedev 🎮

Do you love Aliens? Do you love video games? Play Xenopurge from @firesquid.games and @traptics.bsky.social. It's essentially a Colonial Marines commander simulator, and it's awesome. #indiegames #pcgaming #steam 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

I interviewed @mark-ffrench.bsky.social of @dividetheplunder.bsky.social about his his fascinating process, inspirations, and journey making his latest puzzle game, the excellent Mosaic of the Strange! I'm addicted to his games! #indiegames #gamedev #pcgaming On @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

I wrote a review of the amazing Asbury Pines, along with a brief interview with dev @chaystarunlimited.bsky.social. This might be the best incremental game I've played. I couldn't put it down until I unlocked everything and read the whole story. #indiegame 🎮 Read it on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

I couldn't stop playing Thrasher until I finished it. @puddlestudio.bsky.social (Brian Gibson and @manrad.bsky.social) have made an incredible, trippy arcade experience. I played on #SteamDeck, but it's also available on #VR devices. #indiegames 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

Squeakross: Home Squeak Home from @alblune.bsky.social is one of the most highly polished picross games I've played. It's on PC and Switch. If you enjoy nonograms, you owe it to yourself to check this one out! Steam: s.team/a/2871440 Switch: www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

I was finally able to publish my review of Avatar: Fire and Ash, thanks to the embargo lifting. #filmsky #avatar 📽️ 🎥 Why does Varang look like Rufio? Read it on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

Sir Noggin "had me enchanted over my single-sitting playthrough" and they "loved the era-accurate soundtrack," via The Geekly Grind. Check out Sir Noggin on Steam and its soundtrack wherever you enjoy your game music! www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/sir... #indiegame #indiedev @explodist.media

Sleep Awake from @blumhousegames.com and Eyes Out, a hallucinatory horror journey through the last city on Earth, where people vanish if they fall asleep. The disturbing, nightmarish atmosphere created by the visual aesthetic and oppressive sound design from Robin Finck make this one shine.

Slots & Daggers from @friedemanna.bsky.social is an addictive slot machine RPG roguelite that goes pling pling pling a lot and has a killer visual style. Loved it!

Sir Noggin, a wonderful Sega Master System homage from @sinclairstrange.bsky.social and @scarletmoon.bsky.social that I enjoyed on #SteamDeck -

I haven't posted my last few game reviews, so here's a thread of what I've written recently for @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social. First: Unboxathon, an incremental #indiegame about unboxing -

www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/fan... New review from Janette! Fantasy Zoo takes a swing at the neglected zoo park genre, unfortunately it completely misses.

Forestrike from Skeleton Crew and @devolverdigital.com made my martial arts dreams come to life. Few games feel this good when you manage to pull cool shit off. #indiegames #SteamDeck @steampowered.com #PCgaming 🎮 Review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

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

I published an in-depth interview with @scriptwelder.com about Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken. Don't miss this survival horror point-and-click, it's 10/10! #horror #indiegame #gamedev #pointandclick #adventuregame #SteamDeck @armorgamesstudios.com 🎮 Read it on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

While I had many issues with the game, @q-games.com's Dreams of Another is visually stunning, a living pointillist artwork that you paint with a gun. Thank you to @piratepr.com for the review key! #indiegames #PS5 #PCgaming #Steam 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Badlands may not be as gritty as past franchise entries, but it's a ton of fun. #filmsky 📽️ 🎥 My review on @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 -

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 -

Yorgos Lanthimos' remake of Save the Green Planet! feels very of-the-moment and looks gorgeous on the big screen. Loved it. #filmsky 🎥 📽️ My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

“Ultimately, Chainsaw Man: The Reze Arc reminds us why it’s such an exciting time to be an anime fan. It delivers top-tier animation, a brisk and emotionally charged narrative, and a killer soundtrack that refuses to leave your head.” #anime #chainsawman #rezearc

Ball x Pit is a blast. @kennysun.com's reimagining of Breakout as a roguelite is another must-play from @devolverdigital.com. #indiegames #roguelite #steam #ps5 #nintendoswitch #xbox @ballxpit.com 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/nos... Mars Attracts First Impressions is OUT. This is a pretty nifty park management game that takes it playbook from games from the 1990s and 2000s to make a cozy nostalgic experience.

Hey! I think for these new release threads, I've been overthinking them too much. So going to be trying a new approach! Come join me for new games this week!

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

Mind Diver from Indoor Sunglasses & @playismen.bsky.social is a tragic mystery and intimate, character-driven story inspired by @dukope.bsky.social's Return of the Obra Dinn. Excellent work from @breum.bsky.social and team. #pcgaming #steam #indiegames 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

Arctic Awakening from @goldfirestudios.com is a walking simulator adventure with shades of Firewatch. It's got a compelling story and some great voicework. Thanks @blankshore.bsky.social and @mooncat.games for the review key! #indiegames #Steam #PS5 #xbox 🎮 Review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -
