The Start of Something Momumentous: An Indie Compendium
Time for something a bit different! I’ve been planning a colossal project this year. Ever since I started seriously writing about video games, I took a big interest in the indie scene.

Indie Corner Episode 10: Some Serious Contenders!
We’ve officially hit the double digits! It’s a sunny morning as I type this up, my coffee is good and I’ve only got a minor backache to distract me. It’s time for another episode of Indie Corner, where I talk about many indie games that are available on the market, both old and new. There […]
Mobile Games and Bitcoin: Things That Make You Go Hmm...
I sat on this article for over a month because I couldn’t decide how I wanted to handle it or if I wanted to host it on SassyGamers at all.

Elex 2 Early Impressions: For Better and Worse

For the first time, Creative Assembly also launches itself into a full narrative […]
Indie Corner Episode 9: Where Are They Now?
It’s me again with another indie games episode! It’ll get to the stage where I’ll just name the articles by funky titles rather than episodes, but that’s for another time. Today, I want to revisit a couple of games I’ve previously covered in a ‘Where are they now?’ thing. One of the reasons why I […]

Here are his answers! You can pick up Shadows of Forbidden Gods right here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1741640/Shadows_of_Forbidden_Gods/ First of all, tell me about yourself! What […]
Indie Corner Episode 8: Really Gettin' the Good Stuff!
In terms of indie gaming, the opening couple of months feels as strong as it was back in 2021. In January and February last year, we saw some fantastic games hit Early Access. Some of these were Everspace 2: a high-quality launch with a lot going for it, as well as the fantastic survival sim […]
