Indies to Catch in May 2026!
Sweet May is upon us, at last. The times passes swiftly – already first third of the year is behind us, and it feels I barely did anything at all! At least the summer vibes should start soon, which I very much need to function. Anyway, new month means new games to look forward to! April was robust in excellent titles to enjoy, and May is shaping up to be equally full of interesting games to dabble with. As always, there are way too many to list and give them proper justice. T

FORBIDDEN SOLITAIRE
I finished FORBIDDEN SOLITAIRE and there is a crucial lesson here for me to impart, one that you probably already know, but I wish to reiterate upon anyway. Hype can be the death of joy. Getting your expectations through the roof risk a chance to tarnish an otherwise perfectly enjoyable experience! Now that it put these sentences to the digital paper, I can believe you might already have a feeling in which direction this review is going towards - I was slightly disappointed,

DEMO DIVE #1 - June 2026
It is said that hell roads are paved with bricks of good intentions. I was hoping May will be the month in which I am able to flex some proper writing, play lots of games and fill the blog to the brim with reviews and insights, but alas! Day to day work conspired to topple such lofty ambitions. Well, June is almost around the corner, and I am more than happy to try again with the coming month! As for now, I still managed to scrounge up some time trying out new demos for the c

DEMO DIVE #2 - May 2026
Sunday! It’s rainy, it’s cold, it’s the most frigid May I have lived through if my living memory serves. Well, that only means it is perfect weather for staying indoors with a giant cup of tea and games on my rig to play! Glory be to feasible excuses for entertainment purposes. And since it is a glorious Sunday, it means DEMO DIVE (as is tradition) – and I have a trio of particularly strong titles to share my initial impression of. Let’s roll!

MIXTAPE
I too, once, was a teenager. An awkward one, a nerdy one. With wizards living in my brain, casting spells and tantalizing my impressionable, young mind with visions of a greater future. And like any modestly-sized outcast, who never had a chance to be with the Cool Kids on the block, I had my two escapes – my dorky friends forming a strangely cultish clique. And music. Good old music, which, of course, could not be any of the mainline stuff. No pop and radio rock for me! Beca

AGRIVORE
One of my not-so-secret guilty pleasures is idle games. Especially when they are married in a shed to a clicker, making for an extremely simple formula that somehow works on my primitive brain, jabbing some bits in the grey matter to make it sizzle in a pleasant way. I know that some could hardly even be granted the title of a game. I know it is exploiting some of the most baseline desires, but I can’t help it. If it’s all nicely wrapped up and makes me feel like my actions h

TERRATECH LEGION
Bullet Heavens might be one of the most oversaturated subgenres out there. It’s nobody’s fault… If you don’t gaze too hard at the meteoric success of VAMPIRE SURVIVOR, that is. See, I get the appeal, and from both ends of the spectrum. Players like this formula. Numbers going up will never cease to tickle some neurons in many people brains. And I can see the appeal from the development standpoint, because technically speaking, those are rather simple games. You don’t have to
