Oeuf from @increpare.bsky.social is brutal, fair, and hard to put down once it gets rolling. 9/10! #Indiegames #steam #pcgaming 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

Sam (@explodist.media) on Michael: "Michael plays like a Lifetime movie, very safe and flat." Our review is live, and it doesn’t pull punches. #movies #review

Good morning everyone! I got out 8 Press Releases this morning, I hope that's enough! I'm actually going into work early, and leaving early today so I can get a haircut! My hair is so overgrown! The goal is to *finally* stream tonight after that. As for the press releases...

Just got out of #michaelmovie - the concert sequences alone are worth it. Definitely feels sanitized in ways that frustrate, but when you get the glimpses of who he really was as a performer/dancer, it’s stunning. Gets as close as we’ll ever get to seeing him live. 👑🎤 #movies #reaction

"Pragmata pairs sharp, layered third-person shooting with an endearing companion dynamic. It's a lean 10-15 hour experience that sticks the landing, even if you'll wish there was a bit more of it." Our 9/10 review of #pragmata is live! Check it out! @capcomusa.com #gaming #review

Time to check out Pragmata! Been eager to dig in since PAX West! #gaming #pragmata @capcomusa.com

"Absolute Batman #19 fires on every cylinder, delivering a terrifying Scarecrow introduction, a landmark Gordon rooftop meeting, and a Robin program reveal that together make an overwhelming case for this being the best superhero comic on shelves right now." #comic #review #absolutebatman

“It takes mere seconds for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire to win you over with its charm. A smile as long as a pull of some freshly baked mozzarella is guaranteed.” Our review of Mouse: P.I. For Hire is up! #indiegame #review #mousepiforhire

Gunboat God from @fireshinegames.bsky.social and @jansonrad.bsky.social is a 10/10 for me. I can’t stop playing it. It just feels incredible, and it looks just as good. Review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

Cadence from @thefuntastic.bsky.social is a rewarding puzzler with a music element. It also has a fun sandbox mode that lets you make music! I love the art direction. #Indiegames #puzzle #steam #steamdeck 🎮 Read my review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

“There’s plenty to love, and it certainly shows that Filoni is doing right by Star Wars.” Check out Sam’s thoughts on the latest Star Wars series, featuring one of the most iconic characters of the franchise. #starwars #maul

Check out our thoughts on Toxic Commando! #indiegame #review #gaming

Just read Mega Man X #2 from UDON and it's the adaptation this franchise has always deserved. Arseneault knows the source material cold, and Steinbach's art makes the Flame Mammoth fight a genuine visual showcase. I'm hooked, and I can't wait for more! @udonentertainment.bsky.social

Monsterpiece Theatre: Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla is exactly as unhinged as it sounds, and it absolutely works. Tierney and Peacock nail the Silver Age aesthetic while staging actual Shakespeare alongside kaiju mayhem. Mothra crashes the Capulet ball. It rules. Review live 4/8! @idwpublishing.com

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie isn't as good as the first, but I still loved it. People who aren't Nintendo fans might not enjoy it as much. #filmsky #nintendo 📽️ 🎥 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

I'll be seeing the new Mario movie tonight, but in the meantime, here's my review of Sylvain Chomet's latest, A Magnificent Life. I wish he'd go back to the looser, more energetic style of The Triplets of Belleville. #filmsky #animation 📽️ 🎥 Read it on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

Slept on this too long. MIO: Memories in Orbit from Douze Dixièmes and @focus-entmt.com is one of the best games of the year. The art direction is absolutely stunning, and it feels great to play. 9/10 #Indiegames #ps5 #xbox #pcgaming #switch 🎮 Review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

Offbeat, hilarious, and heartfelt Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime may have one of the best titles ever. @bonte-avond.com and @offbrand.games released the game yesterday, and you should buy it. #Indiegames #pcgaming #nintendoswitch 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

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 -

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...

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!
