Hello everyone, this month is huge for a variety of reasons. Of course, we’ve got a few handfuls of indie games, but this’ll be the first month where some of these titles will also release on the Nintendo Switch 2. Not to mention, we’re in the Summer of games with Summer Games Fest, so I fully expect this list to be behind on releases in a week.

If you’re a cat owner, then you know all too well about the late-night zoomies, the subsequent early morning wake-up calls for breakfast, and the copious amount of hours of sleep in between. Unlike cats though, we have jobs to fuel our pets’ unhealthy habit of treats and catnip toys, as well as our own living expenses, so do we ever really know what they get up to when we’re gone?

The grandaddy of first-person shooters is back with Doom: The Dark Ages, the third entry in the rebooted series that players fell in love with, thanks to Doom (2016). id Software created a winning formula of over-the-top violence and satisfying gunplay against Hell’s demons, and since then haven’t settled on comfortable familiarity.

Into the Restless Ruins by Ant Workshop is a roguelike deckbuilding dungeon crawling autobattler, and is probably the biggest mash-up of genres rolled into one that I’ve played. It’s easy to say that the developers have cashed in on the popularity of Vampire Survivors, Inscryption, Slay the Spire, the list goes on. But that would be a disservice to how refreshing the game is, whilst also being a little bit of every popular game in this past decade.

As I trudge downhill to my nightmare, clanking from my armour and the disorienting ambience of Labyrinth of the Demon King’s soundtrack echoes through the fog. A familiar discomfort creeps in, one much like Silent Hill 2’s restless dream.

We’re nearly halfway through the year, and I already can’t quite keep up with all of the indie games. Is that due in part to the fact that Blue Prince has got me completely lost in the rooms and halls of Mt. Holly? Sure. But there’s also a much larger problem on the horizon – a lot of brilliant titles releasing. Last month, Promise Mascot Agency got a perfect score at Finger Guns with its bombastic and reverent take on the management sim genre.

Photo modes have been one of my favourite aspects of video games over the past few generations. The ability to take stylish screenshots of a game’s world or create a masterpiece to feed into my amateur photographer tendencies is a perfect side objective to get lost in. But what if taking photos wasn’t just a side gig to saving the day but the main mission? Lushfoil Photography Sim is just that… Until it’s not, unfortunately.

Remember Journey? Of course you do. At this point, it’s as ubiquitous in the video game space as a Call of Duty or FIFA. Well, relatively speaking, of course. Studio Tolima have taken all the hallmarks of that 2012 indie classic and reimagined it to focus on the environment, plight of animal life, and an adorable pup companion. Its nose quite literally lights up the way – what more needs to be said?
