Great list ! I'll add Fruitbus & Sulfur coming on october 28th that look awesome Waiting to buy Neva asap

I’m so glad i discovered this channel. You have such a great delivery that on top of learning about so many new games I never would have learned about on my own, it’s just a totally relaxing watch. Cheers!!

Neva looks great! Since I enjoyed Gris a lot, this seems like a safe bet for me. 😊 Dragon Age Veilguard apparently brings over very few decisions from earlier games, as it takes place in a very different part of the world. So it should be alright to start here. The story does build up directly on the ending of the last DLC though, but I guess they'll give a reasonable overview for people new to the series. (as it does seem to make it a big point to bring in new people, rather than focusing on fans of the older games)

The Cat Quest games are great. I played the first one a bunch, then got hooked even more on the second one because they added coop.

Thanks for the suggestions. Some of them were new to me and added them to my wishlist. 🙏

Squirrel with a gun is already out. I 100%’d it already. It’s short but a lot of fun.

Btw Balatro just came out on mobile

Phoenix Springs seems to have had its 7th October release date removed on Steam. It just says ‘Coming soon’ now. Not sure what’s going on but I was hoping to play it later today.

hey bro, do you mind putting the title of the game in the bottom corner of the vid while your playing ? i find myself skipping back alot trying to listen to the time you say the game :) love the vids bro. dont really see that many games gamers anymore that just play random stuff. have you played enviromental station alpha ? thats in my current rotation. really sick

Usually indie KZbinrs are really like… idk haha annoying but I like your vibe a lot

Wonderful video! What was the music you used for this?

Also Slay the princess on console, super hyped for being able to finally play it!

I rarely play AAA games but omg, words cannot describe how excited I am for the new Dragon Age <3 I can't think of another time I've been this hyped for a game! it's my all time favorite video game series, I'm so ready to not play anything else for a few months once it's out lol Also I totally forgot about the Life is Strange sequel! Maybe I'll be able to fit it in before Veilguard comes out...

The Plucky Squire looks a really cool idea!

I also think SW Outlaws looks like a pretty cool open world game, been a while since I had some good old AAA fun. And I can vouch for Grunn. uncovering all the game's secrets is really cool and I liked it so much that I did my first ever speedrun for it :p

Love conservation with a whale

NODE looks so much like Inside, which is one of my favorite games of all time.

Playing GRUNN right now. It’s really fun to explore!

I really love Balatro. I only purchased it bc of the great reviews. I’ve never been a poker fan. After spending a couple hours with it I became quite addicted. Such a great deck builder.

1. I actually pre-ordered Squirrel With A Gun. Solid game so far. 2. That Grunn game looks really interesting! 3. I've mostly been playing What The Car and The Elephant Collection. What The Car is a fun little game made by the same people that made What The Golf, where you play as an anthropomorphic car, and try to get to the finish line in various wacky ways, and The Elephant Collection is a remastered collection of various John Cooney Flash games. Both are very fun!

One of the best games i played this year

I think the evolution of Townscaper is Tiny Glade

Great video

Kentucky Route Zero is a very special game to me. It's my favorite game of all time, in large part because I find it so incredibly meaningful. It makes very worthwhile statements throughout on some heavy topics like the oppressive nature of debt and both the continuity and brevity of life. But it never beats you over the head with its messaging. It's woven throughout the experience in subtle ways, creating a subconscious impression that only became evident to me in a conscious way as I reflected on the game after finishing it. Kentucky Route Zero is the only game that I think everyone should play at some point, because it's not just about having a good time or escaping into a fantasy. It's about examining our own lives through the journey these characters embark upon.

This game feels like a perfect encapsulation of humans longing for other worlds, escapism. The way the world establishes itself, a place forgotten by the rest of the world. Moving at a slower pace. I felt and continue to feel the rewards that this game provides. There's truly no better way to describe it than as you said in the video, it feels like a long, beautiful, exhilarating dream. I find myself thinking about this game so regularly, it just latched onto a portion of my subconscious and never left. I imagine this is what the first enjoyers of literature and art felt like, it just felt so real, as if that barrier that always exists between people and what we create had been lifted. I wish there was more like it, I wish I could experience the sound, the atmosphere, the life of this game for the first time again. Truly one of the most incredible and underrated works of art I've ever been able to witness.

This is not a game made for the white gaze? There's no way I heard that right lmfao

I really tried, but unfortunately I didn't care about this game, I like bigger than life stories, interwoven narratives and such, but it was too convoluted for me to care or even understand half of what happened in this game. I think some of the dialogues are really well written, poetic and as you say, you sometimes don't even have to understand them to relate to them in some way, in that regard it was kinda cool. But the story was just sooo drawn out, so confusing when it really didn't need to be, I feel like. Some of the bigger scenes were beautifully presented, and music was great too. In the end, this game raised too many questions without answering them, and when it did, it was anti-climactic or irrelevant, and the pacing made me sleepy too many times lol

Hey, Love the podcast. I've been listening to it for a while now and it is my go to game podcast. Keep up the good work, and I was wondering if you have played black myth wukong?

The chimney gag in Thank Goodness You're Here is one of the best repeating goofs in a game I've maybe ever seen. 😂

Did you saw Bloodless that will lauch on Aug, 29th?

Arco looks really interesting, I think the combination of genre, setting and art style is quite uncommon. Creatures of Ava might be one to keep in mind if I'm more in the mood for something cozy again.

Great video, but god you talk fast!

It's only in early access (edit: also definitely not under the radar lol, but it is indie), but Fields of Mistria dropped earlier this month and it's so much fun! I feel like we've gotten a lot of farming sims in the last few years that promise a lot but come out undercooked, but even in EA Fields of Mistria already feels pretty complete (for what's there at least -- some elements clearly aren't there yet). I can't wait to see it keep developing, and even now I've already dropped about 15 hours in it :)

I really appreciate the fact that you mention the game name at the end of the section! I have a big problem with losing track of what game people are talking about in most videos. They mention it at the start then never say the name again, and instead just say “this game” or something similar from that point. Thank you! 🙏

Literally every game review youtuber talks about "Thank Goodness You're Here", "under the radar" ahh

hell yeah

I played Thank Goodness You're Here. It's an amazing game, and I can't wait to play it again. As for the other games, One Button Bosses is already on my list, and Phantom Spark looks cool. Just added it to my Wishlist

Looking forward to Flintlock. Watching Thank Goodness You’re Here letsplays has been great fun!

Not sure if you've covered it but Thronefall is a great indie worth spotlighting

my main criticism of the game is like you said the Orchard as well but also the "translation" to video game. its almost like the video game equivalent of "outsider art" mainly because their strengths are just so clearly in performance art, visuals, writing, etc. so basically everywhere but making a video game with a satisfying gameplay loop. a lot of these visual novel/walking sim games are already like this even from studios that do know how to create games with a gameplay loop so im certainly not saying it should be more like a typical game but experience making games would have made things like the Orchard stand out more as needed development attention. A game that very much succeeded in this is Firewatch if you want an example of what i mean. So, my point being that the game is a masterpiece of storytelling and their next project should be even better now that they have these experience. I hope they continue on with game development because they have something very special.

Don’t forget frostpunk 2 for your September video ✨😁✨

Hey, a list I could finally get excited about. Keep those videos a'coming.

thank goodness your hear seems like a riot cannot wait to get my hands on it come payday lol

i watched kikis delivery service a few years ago and im always on the hunt for games that my wife will enjoy so witch's mountain looks perfect

gonna go ahead and leave a couple comments here to boost engagement

thanks for sharing these, super pumped for pretty much everything on this list

Even the smoothest move is stressful, so I hope it was the best it could be. Re: new job, are you still in Iceland? (just curious) As for this month's releases, three of my usual, very-indie, titles that caught my eye: the delightfully janky-looking _Monster Run,_ the very odd-looking interactive fiction _Russian Psychiatric Pastoral,_ and mostly on the strength of the fun art style/animation _Dextrissimi._

Really enjoyed the demo for Desvelado. It's a vampire 2D platformer out on the 14th and can't wait :)

I actually just purchased Thank Goodness You're Here. I can't wait to play it!

Error acknowledgement: I FORGOT TO INCLUDE PHANTOM SPARK, MY GAME OF THE MONTH. Farewell North is the 15th not the 13th. PlayStation 5 is not prounced Play-Ess-Five.
