Mutate, upgrade, repeat: Talking Chimera CUSTOM XG with Volok Games
Chimera CUSTOM XG is another game we checked out at ENDIX, and it’s not exactly a subtle game, and that is a big part of its appeal. It is loud, chaotic, aggressive, and clearly built by a team that loves the feeling of throwing players into absolute carnage and then giving them even more ways […]
Arcadian Days preview: Unfinished, beautiful, and quietly fascinating
Some games grab you with action. This one does it with atmosphere. Arcadian Days is not the sort of game that throws a hundred systems at you and begs for attention. Instead, it does something far simpler and, in its own way, far harder. It asks you to slow down, look around, and actually take […]
The game shop is not dead; it’s just gone indie
There was a time when buying a video game at a game shop felt like an event. You would walk into GAME, Gamestation, Grainger Games, or your local independent shop and spend far longer browsing than you probably needed to. Shelves packed with box art. Pre-owned bargains hidden between newer releases. Slightly battered PS2 cases […]
Finding the beat in the wreckage: Talking Alpha Nomos with RibCage Games
Alpha Nomos is the sort of game that does not really get to hide behind vague marketing fluff. If you are going to pitch something as a rhythm-action roguelite where music shapes combat, power-ups, and the world itself, people are naturally going to want to know whether that idea is genuinely built into the game […]
ENDIX wraps a strong Spring 2026 show and sets its sights on Autumn
ENDIX has officially wrapped its Spring 2026 edition, and it sounds like the digital expo has every reason to feel pleased with itself. Across its May 23 to 24 weekend, the free playable event pulled in thousands of players from around the world, bringing developers, publishers, creators, press and players together inside a virtual convention […]
Forgotten Eras updates its Steam demo and opens up its art process
Forgotten Eras has rolled out an updated demo on Steam, and alongside it, developer Behind the Hump is giving players a closer look at how its world is being built. The Greek indie studio has announced a refreshed version of the demo for its Slavic mythology-inspired action-adventure, with the latest build shaped by community feedback […]
Time, trouble, and top-down chaos: Talking NINE ROUNDS RAPID with SOUTH WESTERLY GAMES
When we checked out NINE ROUNDS RAPID at ENDIX, it was one of those games that did not take long to catch our eye. Between the hand-painted look, the frantic top-down action, and the promise of two fugitives blasting their way through a possessed space station, it already felt like it had plenty of personality. […]
One Rotten Oath review: Stylish rot, shaky shooting
Some games grab you before you have even properly started them. One Rotten Oath is one of those games. The look of it alone is enough to make you stop and pay attention. You do not see many games built like this, with those rotoscoped characters cut into grim 3D spaces, all stitched together into […]
Steam Next Fest June 2026: Our standout indie picks
Steam Next Fest always has a way of making your wishlist spiral out of control. You go in meaning to check out a few demos, maybe poke around something you have already heard about, and suddenly you have spent far too long downloading games you had never even considered a week earlier. It is one […]
Pizza Bandit review: Co-op chaos done right
Pizza Bandit sounds ridiculous, and that is exactly why it works. On paper, the game is the sort of pitch that immediately earns a raised eyebrow. And that is something it certainly did when we checked out its ENDIX booth. A bounty hunter retires, buys the pizza shop he has always wanted, and then finds […]
