Just finished the demo of Silly Polly Beast by @anjigames.bsky.social, it was hella cool. Protag is cute. It's kind of a mix between top-down shooter and survival horror. Protag is cute btw. Would recommend. Comes out this month!

(P.S. Protag cute)

I reviewed The Lacerator:

What the hell did I just play. (complimentary) An absolutely wild experience that's part survival horror, part grindhouse schlock and part SWERY/SUDA51-style madness.

Review: Space Adventure Cobra - The Awakening

Ended up enjoying this quite a bit. Fast-paced levels, fun combat, lots of optional content. A solid game despite its occasionally janky controls.

We're doing Throwback... Tuesday, I guess!

Quite fittingly, episode 7 of my indie developer interview series highlighted Mirage 7, the fantasy/sci-fi game developed by the Italian studio Drakkar Dev!

I like how I always have to go and do detective work on the internet to figure out where new gear/items can be obtained every time a new XIV patch drops. Because the actual patch notes refuse to tell you, lol.

Co-op indie horror review: Macabre

A promising concept (Alien: Isolation-esque hide & seek in a semi-open jungle), executed poorly. I can see the potential, but right now, it feels extremely dull and boring.

Jokes aside, I've been dying to play a new Parasite Eve-style game for a while now, so I hope it turns out good.

This Parasite Mutant game isn't being very subtle about its inspirations, lol.

HL2 has actually aged very gracefully! This one feels like everything is made out of cheap, shiny plastic lol.

Gare @garejei.bsky.social · 15d

They somehow made this look worse than the original. Gutted all the style and charm it had. I mean holy shit, when the OG graphics change to the "remastered" one I'm just like, no, stop, go back! I'm a huge fan of Deus Ex so this one hurts.

What a shame.

Jump Space is so good, some of the best fun I've had in a while. Can definitely recommend it if you have people to play with and enjoyed stuff like Deep Rock Galactic.
