I never expected to become emotionally invested in a lighthouse, but Keeper's surreal artistic direction and dedication to accessibility has done just that www.eurogamer.net/i-never-expe...

“Relooted might be the best game I played across any of this weekend's showcases: a polished, thoughtful and outright fun heist caper that dares to ask challenging questions about art and ownership.”

Notes from SGF: Resident Evil was underwhelming, Pragmata ripped, and a whole bunch of indies impressed.

I played the new Resident Evil — and a whole lot more. Here are my thoughts

The annual Play Days showcase was far more interesting than the reveals themselves.

I was in Vienna and I witnessed these Amazing art works and heritage, Its heartbreaking that people from Benin wont have access to see them.
