Indies to Catch in November 2025!
November is upon us! How the time flies. GOTY season is brewing up, with lots of astonishing titles on the block, pushing shoulders and taking names. The big GOTY awards are in a bit of a sour spot - if they were 100% honest and not driven by corporate influence, it would be all Indies and AA season this year. SILKSONG, BLUE PRINCE, EXPEDITION 33, HADES 2, BALL x PIT ... The list goes on. But we all know some lip service will need to be given to a few big slammolas from the T

DOG WITCH
I never thought I would like DOG WITCH . Now that's a spicy way to start a review! See, I think it is not exactly a secret that I am a bit of a roguelite addict.

Just finished DISPATCH , going through KEEPER and in the meantime, chipping away in countless roguelikes... Speaki

ROGUELIKE IS NOT A GENRE. FIGHT ME.
If you're following my texts, you might sense a certain set of repetitions. First, my slightly jaded grumbling about how everything is a roguelike nowadays. And then my follow-up on how I do not believe that roguelike is even a genre anymore. Now that's a point I feel lots of folks might disagree with, simply because of the classic definition of what a game genre even is. Which rolls as follows: A video game genre is an informal classification of a video game  based on how it
