Utter chaos in the best way. An absolute fever dream of retro vibes, unhinged builds, and a ball named Nubby that makes numbers explode until the game crashes. It’s five bucks and way more fun than it really should be. If you need a quick dopamine hit, just get it.

A fresh twist on autobattlers, The Bazaar was described by its ex-Hearthstone-pro creator Reynad as “multiplayer Slay the Spire”. Roguelike runs are PvE and async PvP, letting you pause, pivot, and plan without the usual pressure. Deep, fresh, and very addictive - despite not being officially released yet, it’s already a standout.

The new one from Leslie Benzies (ex-Rockstar lead behind GTA V and Red Dead), developed by Build A Rocket Boy and published by IOI Partners, has a story trailer. The action-thriller MindsEye, revealed during PlayStation’s State of Play is confirmed to be launching June 10. Looks exciting!

My search for a monster-hunting game I actually enjoy, regrettably, continues. Clearly, plenty of people love the heavy, sluggish movement and combat - some might even like the characters and story. But for me, everything is just too hard in all the wrong ways. The difficulty itself is fine, but every action feels like wading through mud: the sheer effort required to do anything - progress quests, rush through lifeless dialogue, and of course the combat - are just draining, not engaging. And, like always with this franchise, hunting feels more like an endurance test than an actual thrill.

Die in the Dungeon is a fresh roguelike deckbuilder that trades cards for dice, aiming to combine strengths of strategy with unpredictability of randomness. The charming art and unique mechanics make for a compelling experience, but early-game monotony and balance issues hold it back a bit. Runs are looong too, so you gotta be up for that. Lots of potential, though, and absolutely worth playing.

It’s a game about digging a hole. But is it merely a task, or a reflection on modern gaming - an endless pursuit of progress, framed as purpose? Is the act of digging its own reward, its own quiet compulsion? Simple, but mildly compelling.

[Early access] Great potential, but core mechanics are currently working against the experience. Parrying mostly not worth it, healing tedious, and weapon durability killing loot excitement. Needs better onboarding, difficulty scaling, and meaningful rewards. Most of all though, I don’t feel particularly connected to the original Hyper Light, whose setting and vibe were top-notch. Hoping for improvements - will keep an eye on it through EA.

A surreal mystery built on perception, memory and art, wrapped in a cryptic, looping narrative. Its design deliberately disorients, making you feel lost - both physically, within its maze-like setting, and mentally, as you untangle cryptic symbols, shifting perspectives, and hidden logic. Like a living puzzle box, every solution peels back another layer of meaning, rewarding deep engagement and lateral thinking. Very good.

A solid follow-up with a “refined” UI (which I’m still not sure whether I like) and quality-of-life “improvements” (which I didn’t really feel necessary), atop weaker storytelling and puzzle design. The mystery unfolds a bit too predictably, and some puzzles feel like busywork rather than meaningful deduction. Still enjoyable, but an unfortunate step down.

A chilling, surreal horror experience about control, routine, and survival. The eerie, industrial world traps you in an unsettling repetition exploring themes of labour and sacrifice. Short but haunting. Play blind.
