Hello. I'm Werty, I play-a the indie games. I write for GameObserver, previously wrote for GameLuster. Here's a list of all the indies I played in 2025 and can recommend!

Before that, four honorable mentions that are a bit too specific/just miss a clean recommendation, but have some cool stuff.

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?

Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

We're super excited to be returning to the Bagpuss Universe for Yaffle Origins. As mega fans of the Oliver Postbox multiverse, we always dreamed of telling the story of Assistant Professor Yaffle getting his first pair of glasses or whatever. Join us on this barren sphere, in this living death.

Finally became a Patreon backer for @backloggd.com! I've started using it a lot more in the last few weeks to review EVERY game I play so I can refer back to some notes for end of year discussions and more.

I play so many games and bounce off plenty. Its nice to know what I thought at the time.

Wake Up Dead Man is one of the best mysteries--and movies about faith--ever made.

Damn, man. What a way to end a year.

Announcement:

I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3/Dark Ties.

Full statement below:
Hi everyone. CyricZ here. After giving myself time to reflect on my options, I’ve decided that I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3 / Dark Ties. I will not be purchasing the game, nor playing it in any capacity. I write guides because I love writing, and I write for the games that I write for because they inspire me. The joy I find in them drives me to give my best work. If I were to write a guide entirely out of obligation or expectation, I do not believe my best work would find its way to the page. With the hiring of known sexual harasser Teruyuki Kagawa to the face and voice cast of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I do not find myself inspired by the game. The Like a Dragon series has a long-standing history of opposing sexual misconduct in all its forms and I feel this casting goes against that message. Key members of RGG Studio have refused to speak on the hiring of Kagawa after his misconduct was made more widely known. While they are by no means required to speak about this, by their silence they have sent a message that they do not view Kagawa’s misconduct as a dealbreaker for inclusion in the series cast, nor do they deem it worth addressing. This stands in contrast to steps taken in the past to replace other cast members that did not align with their values. I won’t go into further detail on the issue itself as the information is widely available via the #REMOVEKAGAWA movement. The rest of this will be about me, my guides, and my relationship with RGG Studio and the Like a Dragon series. I remain a fan of the Like a Dragon series. It’s not something I can just excise from myself. I intend to continue playing past Like a Dragon games on stream as they are some of my favorite video games. That may be subject to change in the future, but the plans are to continue playing the games on stream in my intended order, with the exception of Yakuza Kiwami 3 or Dark Ties. The only minor thing that will change with regards to my streams is that I intend to take special note during stream of the many, many instances during the series that remind us of the societal ill of sexual misconduct. As to future games put out by RGG Studio, I reserve the right to not make a decision on those at this time. That will be a “wait and see” situation, dependent on future actions or inactions by RGG Studio. Further, if things change with regards to the release of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I reserve the right to reassess all the preceding. RGG Studio still has the opportunity to do right in this situation, and I hold onto hope that they will see the best way forward. Finally, I promise to all my readers that my GameFAQs guides for the Like a Dragon series and other RGG Studio games will be going nowhere no matter what happens. Not only are they some of my best work, but if I preserve the guides with myself as the author, I remain in creative control of them. This prevents others from taking the text and redistributing it without my consent, which is something I fear would happen if I were to remove them from GameFAQs entirely. For those of you who read my guides, thank you so much for your support, and I’m sorry I will not be helping with this upcoming game. For anyone who wants to write a guide on GameFAQs for Yakuza Kiwami 3, be my guest, not that you need my permission anyway. For those of you joining me in solidarity against Kagawa and this release, I thank you all for sticking with it. Your commitment has inspired this. Be good to each other, Scott “CyricZ” Zdankiewicz

NEW: I spoke to the creator of Blue Prince about what's next for the game, why he won't option it for a film, whether he'll ever say what happened to Mary, player obsession, and much more.

Reminder: Check your local used video game store's social media accounts to see if they have some kind of sale today. They'll usually have one this weekend. Also, follow them to stay up to date on what sales they have year round.

Nothing to worry about here, folks.

I am sure all of the involved parties will STOP using these surveillance tools and move on after they finish with deportations (which are obviously also deeply offensive)

Great work by @austinkocher.com

ICE is working with Peter Thiel’s company Palantir to develop and deploy ImmigrationOS, an AI-powered platform that scoops up massive amounts of data that ICE can use to expedite deportation. Over the summer, ICE began using Graphite, a phone-hacking platform similar to Pegasus. And just this week, The Verge reported that ICE has also contracted with Zignal Labs to provide expansive social media monitoring of immigrants.
