I love the thoughtfulness of the design and the philosophy behind the CorgiSpace collection of PICO-8 games from @adamatomic.bsky.social and @finjico.bsky.social. Amazing. Thank you @icopartners.com! #indiegames #PCgaming #SteamDeck #PICO-8 Read my 9/10 review 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 -

Ella McCay is not worth your time. Go watch James L. Brooks' Broadcast News (1987) instead. #filmsky #review 🎥 📽️ Read my review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social --

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

I interviewed @taintedpactgames.bsky.social about PSX horror homage Flesh Made Fear for @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social. Learn what's behind this retro-styled, fixed-camera survival horror game. #indiegames #gamedev #psx #horror #steam #pcgaming 🎮

New Article covering @moiraigames.bsky.social new game and my newest obsession Aethermancer. www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/aethermancer-first-impressions Also I might stream this game in the near future!

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 -

This one was rough. I'm a big fan of @retroware.bsky.social and @programancer.com, and they've both done so much better. #8-bit #PCgaming #Steam #NES 🎮 Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit review at @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 -

Baby Steps from @devolverdigital.com is one of the best games of the year, 10/10. @foddy.net, Gabe Cuzzillo, and Maxi Boch made something truly special here. I finally wrote my review, on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social. #Indiegames #PS5 #PCgaming #Steam 🎮

Platypus Reclayed is a throw-back shmup with awesome handmade claymation art. I interviewed @anthonyflack.bsky.social of @claymatic.games via e-mail and he provided fascinating insight about its making. #indiegames #gamedev #animation #claymation #shmup 🎮 Read it at @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is amazing. 10/10, one of the best films of the year. Go see it! #filmsky #a24 📽️ 🎥 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs from @bastinusrex.bsky.social and @cr-games.bsky.social is a creepy, cozy, mystery adventure in a memorable setting. I love how this game looks. I want more episodes! 9/10 #Indiegames #horrorsky #PCgaming #Steam 🎮 My review at @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

I reviewed Benny Safdie's The Smashing Machine from A24. I hope Josh's Marty Supreme is better. #filmsky #a24 📽️ 🎥 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

Caput Mortum from @wildartsdevs.bsky.social and Black Lantern Collective is a unique horror experience. The control scheme wasn't for me, but with modern controls, the game is fantastic. #Indiegames #horrorsky #pcgaming #Steam 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/death-and-faeology-demo-shows-plenty-of-promise-initial-impressions New article is out featuring this demo from the Fall in Love Visual Novel festival which has one day left I think! If you're interested in this game, follow @mushroomallow.bsky.social here!

Strange Antiquities is a great puzzle game with occult flavor from @badvikinggames.bsky.social and @iceberg-int.bsky.social! #indiegames #PCgaming #Steam #NintendoSwitch 🎮 Read my review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social --

Equal parts Breakout and Vampire Survivors, Ball x PIT is some of the most fun I’ve had all year...and that's saying something in 2025! #indiegame #gaming @devolverdigital.com

If you haven’t played the @ballxpit.com demo yet from @devolverdigital.com - you need to. Amazingly addictive gameplay that scratches the Vampire Survivors itch! #gaming #indiegame

CloverPit is out now! It fuses elements of Balatro and Shotgun Roulette to create a self-reflexively addictive commentary on gambling. Great stuff from @panikarcade.bsky.social and @futurefriendsgames.com! #indiegames #balatro #PCgaming #Steam #horror 🎮 My review at @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

No, I'm not a Human from @trioskaz.bsky.social and @cr-games.bsky.social is a clever trip into paranoid psychological horror with a lot to discover beneath the surface. A must play. #horrorsky #pcgaming #steam #indiegames #horror � My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social --
