Another little known and overlooked indie game... The Witcher III: Wild Hunt. How does it stack up in 2025? We'll give it the ol' second first impressions look. I played this ages ago but I've basically forgotten it all now. Also, the game has had some pretty major patches and visual upgrades since I first tried it at launch.

Ive very often been asked if/when Id get around to playing Signalis by rose-engine. Turns out Ive tried it! A mysterious and dark game, Id liken it a bit to Dead Space in tone. I like it. Very well presented and I can see why people are such fans.

Trying the surprisingly fun demo for The First Berserker: Khazan - a new souls-like/action game featuring a character possessed by a demon. Tough but fair!

*Thank you to the devs for sending over a code.
Elsie by Knight Shift Games is a take on what if Mega Man X was a rogue lite. Theres fun items to mix and match, run builds to shoot for and all manner of robot bosses to take on. I loved the OST and punchy SFX as well. Apologies for the strange start to the view, I was having some capture issues which I later sorted out but wanted to leave the intro cutscene in.

A run through of a preview/playtest for a very interesting upcoming tactile and material focused puzzle/sci-fi game called The Lift: Supernatural Handyman Simulator by dev Fantastic Signals. Theres a lot to like here from compelling atmosphere, clever genre-bending and a story Im quite interested in seeing develop. Thumbs up if you want to see coverage of this when it comes out!
