This year’s Kinda Funny Showcase at E3 highlighted 60 indie games coming soon to all platforms, and one that caught my eye the most was Lost Ember. In Lost Ember, you play as a wolf with the ability to transform into a host of other animals as you explore

Gunfire Games debuted a new story trailer for its upcoming game Remnant: From the Ashes today. The trailer shows off “the Root,” an alien entity that seems to be responsible for spawning at least some of the monsters you’ll face off against in Remnant. It also gave us glimpses

Devolver Digital may not always bring earth-shattering announcements to its E3 presentations, but it definitely has more fun making them than anyone else. This year, the publisher even brought a game that shows it’s just as good at making fun of itself as it is at making fun of

Devolver Digital’s E3 press conference was gorier and more action-packed than some actual video games, and the publisher used its presentation to premiere one of its newest titles, Carrion. Carrion is a reverse horror game in which you assume the role of an amorphous creature of unknown origin. Stalk

There’s certainly no shortage of retro-styled Metroidvanias coming out these days, but Timespinner caught our eye even in such a crowded field. Timespinner sticks close to the genre’s classic formula, with everything from its graphics and music to its gameplay recalling platformers from the ’90s. Originally released for

High-profile games like Battletech and Daemon X Machina are a welcome sight for mech fans who’ve gone too long with a big stompy robot game, but between the blockbusters, you need some solid smaller hits to keep the genre alive. 2017’s Brigador filled that gap for fans of

Eden Rising: Supremacy has an intriguing pitch, combining tower defense with survival crafting mechanics, and putting it all online. Rather than just spending cash on towers to defend your base from wave after wave of enemies like in most similar games, you first have to go out into an open
