Following the success of the Shovel Knight series, developer Yacht Club Games returns with Mina the Hollower - a top down action adventure game inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Bloodborne, and Castlevania, in the 8-bit style of the Game Boy Colour.

Bubsy 4D releases seven years after the anthropomorphic bobcat's last appearance in Bubsy Paws on Fire! Now, publisher Atari have made the wise decision to entrust the platforming mascot to Fabraz, the experienced hands behind this year's fantastic 3D platformer, Demon Tides.

When reviewing Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, the latest cRPG from development studio ZA/UM, it's impossible to ignore the all-encompassing shadow of the publicised events that followed their previous work, the fantastic Disco Elysium. On one hand, it's an exceptionally well-written game born from authentic experiences, and on the other, it's known for what happened at the studio post-launch.

Having grown up playing puzzle and adventure games, when Out of the Blue Games burst onto the scene with their debut title, Call of the Sea, I instantly played it and became a fan of the studios poignant storytelling and layered puzzle design. So when they followed it up with American Arcadia, a side scrolling narrative platformer, I enjoyed another fun story. But what I really wanted was another title in the spirit of Call of the Sea, so I was ecstatic to see the announcement of the direct sequel, Call of the Elder Gods.

Directive 8020 is the latest third-person, narrative horror adventure game from Supermassive Games. Ever since their debut in the choice driven horror genre with the excellent Until Dawn, they've been a studio whose games I've eagerly anticipated to play with friends and family. Whether in the teen slasher, The Quarry, or their exploration of horror subgenres in The Dark Pictures series. Unique edge-of-your-seat, imperfect horror games that create memorable multiplayer moments unlike anything else.

Memories are imprints, some you'd rather forget, others that are printed permanently in your mind. I remember certain songs, films, books and video games having a lasting impact on my formative teenage years. Challenging and awkward years where everyone begins to learn who they are, want to be, and what they want to do. Many snapshots in time linked to listening to songs or watching movies - the very concept of Mixtape by developers Beethoven and Dinosaur.

Since the first published Moomin story in 1945, Tove Jansson's loveable hippopotamus shaped trolls and the rest of the residents living in Moominvalley have captivated children and adults alike, through novels, comics and TV shows - a whimsical world perfect for the interactive medium of video games.

Each year I make sure not to miss the Day of Dev's conference during Summer Game Fest, as it's full of unique indie titles willing and able to try something different. As a big fan of puzzle games, the reveal trailer for Snap and Grab sparked my imagination for what it could end up becoming.

First announced a decade ago, Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch is aptly releasing on April 20th - a traditional stage by stage beat em up with a hand drawn art style. Set in movie director and writer Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse, the game is a nostalgic return to the worlds many people watched growing up.

Since it's announcement back at the final E3 in 2021, Replaced has constantly been on media outlets' most anticipated lists year after year. Nearly five years later, and 2026 has seen numerous solid indie games release in similar genres. But none that share Replaced's unique pixelated look and slick action.
