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. While many of these guys don’t have the budget and reach of bigger companies, there are amazing products to be had. The independent […]
Elex 2 Early Impressions: For Better and Worse
I’ve been looking forward to Elex 2 ever since it got announced. I’ve always found Piranha Bytes to be an odd game studio. They’ve been around for decades, releasing their first game Gothic in 2001 and continuing their path ever since. They have an enormous cult following in Europe, with one of the most passionate […]
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 […]

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 […]

“Giulia must come with me, I demanded, but they both claimed to be Martha…”
Games I've been Playing so far in 2022!
It’s me again! February has been somewhat a drizzly and windy month here in the U.K, so I’ve been spending a lot of time inside with books and my games. It’s already been a big couple of weeks with some large AAA launches, with more to come. 2022 is shaping up to be a big […]
Gamedev Interview: Devil Spire - Recreating the Old Days!
I’ve been playing a pretty cool game lately. That’s Devil Spire, an old-school dungeon crawler that released very recently. It has plenty of unlocks and modes to try, has great visual design and it’s dirt cheap. I think it’s around 10 USD, and you can buy it on Steam right now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1861290/Devil_Spire/ After a small […]
Indie Corner Episode 7: The Great and the Marred
I’m back with a new episode of The Indie Corner! There’s some cool stuff here, as well as a more…disappointing release which needs to be discussed. Drox Operative 2 This game was in early access until late last year, releasing in 1.0 around October. I didn’t get to play much of it until over Christmas, […]
Indie Corner: Episode 6 (A New Year!)
