Diving into the indie horror scene can often feel like rummaging through a trick-or-treat bag; it's a mixed bag but occasionally, you unearth a piece of candy that is both unexpected and delightful. "Unspoken" hits the sweet spot—offering up chills and thrills that belie its humble origins and even humbler price tag.

The indie gaming scene often serves as a fertile ground for unique, daring concepts that big studios tend to shy away from.

However, the end result tastes more like that forgotten Halloween candy you find under the couch: stale, disappointing, and vaguely unsettling.

Listen up, because "Indika" is not your typical walk through the Sunday school. Hell no, this is one twisted journey with a devilishly clever twist—imagine a nun, a real holy roller, teaming up with the freakin' devil himself, stomping around a 19th-century Russia that’s more Tim Burton than Tolstoy.

Alright, let's get this straight: if you're looking for a game to blast through with guns blazing and monsters to mow down, "POOLS" will just float right past you.

In the realm of survival and crafting games, "The Planet Crafter" stands out by ditching the typical combat-heavy narratives for a more serene yet challenging experience: terraforming a dead planet into a thriving ecosystem.

It's a refreshing change of pace for those who've had their fill of post-apocalyptic wastelands and monster-infested dungeons.

It's never a good sign when a game that thrived on its punishing realism decides to slap a hefty price tag on survival. This week, Escape From Tarkov’s developers, BattleState Games, introduced a $250 "Unheard Edition" of their gritty survival shooter. This isn't just an expensive edition; it fundamentally changes how the game is played, offering a full PvE version, more storage in those digital pockets, and a shiny item that turns aggressive NPCs into passive scenery. Fans? Not happy.

It looks like "Tom Clancy's The Division 3" is taking us on a trip to the Windy City, aka Chicago. That's right, if the rumors swirling around like a Chicago winter blizzard are to be believed, we're about to trade in our New York snow for some Midwestern charm. And who do we have to thank for this piping hot dish of insider info? None other than a chatty ex-developer who's been spilling the beans to a Spanish YouTube channel, Manco Army, dedicated to all things Division.

"Call of Duty: Vanguard" reportedly sold a whopping 30 million copies. Yeah, you read that right—30 million. "Call of Duty: Vanguard" reportedly sold a whopping 30 million copies. Yeah, you read that right—30 million.?”

Alright, let's dive into the wild world of "Supermarket Simulator," where dreams of retail domination come to life, or where you realize managing a store involves more than just yelling at the self-checkout machine when it malfunctions.

Dive headfirst into "Cepheus Protocol," an RTS game that's as chaotic as a supermarket before a hurricane. You're in charge of CERC, the only gang in town with enough guns and guts to face down an alien virus turning folks into not-so-friendly neighbors.

Alright, picture this: Amazon Prime Gaming, in their infinite wisdom, decides to give us all a surprise with their latest "hush-hush" GoG release.

In the left corner, wearing the belt of Truth and Integrity, we have Jason Schreier, a heavyweight in the gaming journalism world. And in the right, donning the cloak of Mystery and Rumors, is the newcomer on the block, Silknight, whose grip on verified information seems as slippery as a wet fish.

"Aquarist" kicks off with you inheriting a fish tank that looks sadder than a fish out of water. But hey, it's not just any fish tank; it's your ticket to becoming the ultimate aquarist.

Jumping into "Bob's Tall Tales," I was hoping for something epic, something that would make my 30 euros feel like an investment rather than a daylight robbery. Instead, what I got was the gaming equivalent of a whoopee cushion: amusing for a second, but ultimately, just a load of hot air.

In a world where "Goat Simulator" can become a cult classic, it really shouldn't surprise anyone that we've now been graced with "Snow Plowing Simulator - First Snow." Yes, you read that right. Forget flying through space, commanding legions in battle, or even managing a farm. The gaming universe has decided that what we truly need is to experience the unbridled thrill of... snow plowing.
