silver-crescent

I don't even quite recall what I was doing in the game when I stopped playing it all those months ago thinking I'd continue in a couple weeks when the patch dropped, not sure I'll manage to get back into the game at this point... but better late than never I guess.

This was actually one of the first games I ever played, and while I'm not sure it really was all that special, a remaster does pique my curiosity a bit.

I might grab the Dominus Collection. I've never actually played any 2D Castlevanias despite loving Metroidvanias, and while the games in the older collections look a bit too old-school, these do seem pretty enjoyable.

I love how they keep adding more stuff to this game, I haven't played it in a while but I guess this patch will have me... diving... back into it.

A new Rayman game is definitely something to look forward to but this supposedly being a remake of the first one rather than something brand new is a bit ehh

I thought this article was going to be about a Buzz-style trivia game at first, hah. There actually was one literally about pop music back in the day. Anyway Raye is great! Her dog being called Yoshi is really cute, I didn't know that.

I've been curious about A Little To The Left and Cursed To Golf for a while, guess I'll be giving those a shot.

Oh this looks quite good and I like the whole base building aspect, definitely going on the wishlist.

These lists are always interesting, though unfortunately I didn't get around to submitting anything, but oh well, there's always next time.

Out of the games listed I've only played stitch., which is just great and has also become one of the most played games of the year for me. Arco and Peglin are both on the wishlist, and Lotus Reverie and The Land Beneath Us both seem interesting as well.

I hadn't heard of this but a mix between Vampire Survivors, Slay The Spire and Paper Mario seems like a very cool idea. Might give it a shot, especially considering it's quite cheap.

Well that's a bummer, I was looking forward to this one. Guess I'll wait for a while and see if the biggest issues get fixed and maybe grab it on sale a few months down the line.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned but what's the deadline for the recommendations? I'd like to send one or two but would like to know that first.

I'm surprised Beyond Galaxyland didn't make the top 3, definitely the month's #1 for me. Bloomtown does look great as well, but haven't tried that one yet, and same goes for Ace Attorney Investigatios and Shogun Showdown.

In terms of missed games I'm surprised Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles hasn't been mentioned on this site at all given it's one of the most most acclaimed deckbuilders of recent times and the Switch release had been a long time coming. Between Horizons is another good one, a great narrative game.

Sky Oceans: Wings For Hire is October's must buy for me, been looking forward to that one for a while. Also have my eye on Mark of the Deep.

@DripDropCop146 That's very true and there are many fantastic games which really aren't very original at all so it's not really that big of a deal. I mainly said that because going by the title and Pirate theme I was expecting a bit of a different flavour, not something that kind of feels like Curse of the Dead Gods with a different coat of paint. But it's fine, the game still looks fun for sure.

First time hearing about this one, it looks pretty cool (even if not particularly original), will be keeping an eye on it.

The headline had me thinking this game was on the way out which seemed kinda shocking, but it being these particular countries makes sense I guess.

I already bought three September indies, Between Horizons, Beyond Galaxyland and Astrea: Six Sided Oracles (I'm surprised this one hasn't been mentioned in this site at all by the way), as well as a couple older ones on sale, and while this looks cool I was thinking of leaving for later, but honestly this review really sold it for me, so maybe there's room for one more.

"you play as the only animal in what is otherwise a location populated by humans"

So it's basically reverse Animal Crossing. Human Crossing?

I'm very excited for this but I just saw the 60€ price tag, and really? Does the game really improve on the original that much to justify that price? I'd assumed it'd be like half of that.

I thought I'd read the whole game would be playable with normal controls (as opposed to motion ones)? A bit disappointing if that ends up not being the case, even if the game still looks very fun.

Happy to see this is as good as it looks! Very much looking forward to diving in later today.

Sea of Stars-inspired, really? Why not just say it's inspired by the same games Sea of Stars was...

I really wish they'd gone with a different art style for this because sadly it does look quite ugly, even if the idea of the game is very appealing.

Kinda funny to see the format this site always uses to review games applied to something else entirely.

I did wonder what had happened to this, I looked for in the eShop and in-game a couple times until I just looked up what had happened and found this tweet earlier today. Kind of an odd thing to happen, but I'm glad we're getting it next week at least.

Between Horizons and Beyond Galaxyland are both day one for me. I want Bloomtown too but I might wait for a sale for that one (unless it gets a nice discount at launch). Big week for pixel art indie games with names starting with "B".

This wasn't really on my radar but it does look pretty interesting.

Yeah this looked kinda interesting but clean areas getting dirty again makes it feel a bit too much like endless busiwork just for the sake of adding longevity to the game.

I'm looking forward to the Devil Summoner remasters but damn, I really wish it was Digital Devil Saga instead. Those games are such classics, frustrating they just won't make them available on new consoles.

@McBurn Fair enough! Personally I don't think any game I pre-ordered on the eShop actually turned out to be bad, but then again I only ever pre-order games I'm practially 100% sure I'll like, otherwise I just put then on the wishlist and wait and see.

@McBurn It's just an incentive for people to pre-order, even Nintendo first party games get that multiple retailers. It happens with plenty of great games on the eShop, the last two I preordered with a discount were Darkest Dungeon II and Dicefolk for example, both excellent.

This game looks sooo good, it definitely feels like a potential indie RPG classic. I'm really looking forward to it.

The new Dragon Age so I don't have to buy a PS5 to play it. But the Final Fantasy VIIs and Baldur's Gate would be nice too.

The main game did leave me wonder whatever had happened with Radjen so I'm happy to see the DLC focuses on that. Easily one of the best games of the year and I'm very much looking forward to this.

Maybe we're finally getting Rogue Galaxy 2 (I wish).

Beyond Galaxyland and Bloomtown: A Different Story both look very cool too, a stacked month for sure.

The uncertainty regarding future updates because of the Humble Games thing kept me from buying this, but if that's no longer an issue guess I can finally give it a go.

Gotta love an update that doesn't actually tell you anything.

@angrybeef it is a metroidvania though, just one that uses a different perspective than metroidvanias usually do. But everything else about it is very much metroidvania, I don't know how anyone can look at the map and say this isn't one.

How about a crossover between the latest update of the game and the Nintendo Switch

This dev's previous game, Islets, was extremely good and I'd been anticipating this one as it looks even better. Grabbed it yesterday and it seems great from what little I've played so far.

There are so many cool indie games being released in September and October this being delayed to 2025 is honestly kind of a good thing.

I grabbed Hyper Light Drifter and Wizard of Legend when this sale started, had been waiting for a discount on both of those for a while. Might also give Unsighted a shot, it looks pretty great.

Yeah the new art looks nice but I was expecting some actual content, definitely a bit disappointing. But well, it is free.

Balatro coming to Dave The Diver and Dave The Diver coming to Balatro, I love to see the crossover between two of the very best indie games of recent times.

Ooh this looks pretty cool, definitely piqued my curiosity.

I don't really buy videogame merch aside from pre-order bonuses/trading platinum points for stuff, but these t-shirts do look very cool.

Oh wow there being another Lost In Random game is certainly not something I had expected in the slightest. First game was very cool and very much looking forward to this too.

I love a good sci-fi RPG and this looks extremely up my alley, definitely going on the wishlist.
