There’s a quote from the film Safety Not Guaranteed that says “there’s not sense in nonsense, especially when the heat’s hot.” YIIK A Post Modern RPG throws this concept completely out the window. Though the heat is hot in Frankton during the 25 plus hours you’ll play this game, you’ll experience nothing but wonderfully crafted nonsense.
What Never Was is a story driven puzzle game that feels like it could be a chapter right out of What Remains of Edith Finch.
Indie game Geneshift, by Nik Nak Studios, becomes the 10th most played game on Steam, ever. It didn’t achieve this status because of any kind of superior design, experience, or underlying feature that Geneshift stands head and shoulders above the thousands of other indie games out there. Instead, Geneshift grew rapidly in player count due to a simple post on Reddit, which spurred a great number of Steam bots to flood into the GTA inspired Battle Royale game.

Darksiders is back. This time with a new studio comprised of many of the same people that worked on the previous two titles.

There was no saving your game and picking up where you left off. You played the game until you died and then started over. Thankfully, games have evolved over time. However, for those still yearning for those days – games like Vertical Drop Heroes HD can scratch the itch.

Since the release of the first Guacamelee!, and also the lesser known Mutant Blobs Attack, Drinkbox Studios has become one of the premiere indie game studios. Known for their signature art style of bright contrasting colors with a simplistic but also superb aesthetic, they’ve caught the attention of many fans. Following up the more experimental touch-based game Severed, Drinkbox has returned the world of luchadors and fighting chickens with Guacamelee! 2.
