as KotakuWhile the writers and editors of “All of Us Vacations Are Absolutely Grateful for All We Have,” I–a disgraceful foreigner who doesn’t celebrate holidays based on such gratitude–was confused. He was left holding a bunch of keys and an upside-down instruction manual. So, as always, I’m abusing my unexplained powers to write about as many unknown indie games as I can cram onto the site. Fuck SEO, there are so many games here you’ve never heard of, but you should put them on your wishlist if you can.
As is now traditional practice (these features have been available for three years now!), these games were randomly selected from hundreds of emails I received. . ask for suggestions. Unless otherwise noted, I haven’t played the games, so I can’t vouch for them, especially since most of them haven’t been released yet.

Tom Jubert wrote some of the smartest games you’ve ever played. subnautica, talos principle, FTL… He’s now focused on a novel whose copyright has just expired. 1984, as a first-person survival adventure set within Orwell’s story. In fact, the entire novel is read aloud as you play (his AI voice in the trailer is replaced by a real human voice actor).
1984 Tackling this can be a very daunting prospect and can quickly become alarming to the inexperienced. But if there’s anyone who can do it, it’s Joubert. It will be interesting to see.

I recently replayed something wonderful, so steam world dig 2I’m doubly interested in future developments. bore blaster. At first glance, they appear to be very similar games.

This is a great idea. A customizable 3D RPG space where you can create and run your favorite tabletop campaigns. Obviously unlicensed and lacking official content from the likes of WOTC, this early access release seems like something a small TTRPG would need to get licensed. dungeon full dive offers the ability to view the campaign from a traditional top-down perspective, or jump into one of the miniatures and explore it from a first-person perspective.
The high entry price of $30 may be off-putting early on, but the developer promises that future updates will be free. It also offers the ability to play in VR and cross-play with them. do not have In VR. This is a great idea and I’m surprised I’ve never seen it done before.

I’m a big fan of the original Polymin, and coincidentally I was already playing this week’s just-released sequel, which was created through the same very random process as all the other games included on this list. Frankly, I’m glad this great puzzle game isn’t being featured anywhere else.
Have you ever played the best PC puzzle game of all time? hexelyou will already have an idea how to do that Polymin It works. This is a combination of that magical puzzle and Picross, resulting in a wonderfully tricky and methodical game of marking tiles, eliminating other tiles, and scratching your head until all the nits escape.

It was only released last week, lucky hero This is such an obvious idea that I can’t believe there aren’t 100 games like it yet. It’s a combination of a roguelite RPG and a fruit machine. Collect and add symbols to your dial that provide weapons, armor, abilities, and more, then spin the wheel to upgrade your items and launch attacks based on what lands in front of you. I have already installed it.

Another deck builder, but this time using dice instead of cards? I’m going for it. die in a dungeon It seems Defeat the Spire –It’s a type of incident, but along with magical relics, dice are intricately applied to a complex grid and you hope for a good result.
