Unsurprisingly, TOEM 2 is another perfectly pleasant little thing. It made me think of acknowledging growth and appreciating the magic in small things happening all around us. I wrote a review over on the @ufosoup.com Patreon, which is free to read and/or listen to here~

I was surprised when it was announced that Swedish developer Something We Made was Making Something Else and that it was a sequel to TOEM. T

i reviewed Well Dweller, which continues Kyle Thompson's streak of top tier, approachable metroidvanias while upping the production value and dark fairy tale vibes. and now i am free from being worried if i accidentally wrote "dwell weller" every time i type the title out

🎶 NEW EPISODE IS LIVE! 🎶 🌀 Y'all are gonna learn about VIVIDLOPE ♠️ Immaculate vibes & an amazing OST 🐰 One of the best arcade puzzle games EVER 🐲 Previewing the OST of an upcoming game from an award-winning composer 🎧 Give it a listen~ ⏯ This episode's music playlist

Promotional artwork for the latest episode of Bit Harmony: A Videogame Music Podcast. The show's main artwork is in the center of the image and it divides the larger image into two. The top image features the main trio of playable characters from VIVIDLOPE (from left to right: Miss Noir, Cerise, and Ecru) against one of the backgrounds from the game; a verdant green hill and a blue sky, very much in the style of the iconic "Bliss" Windows wallpaper. The bottom image features the key art for Flamecraft. Three friendly looking dragons are on a stone city street while human passerby wave on at them.

Thinking about this exchange today

A YouTube video for the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The comments section has an exchange as detailed below. “@TheMrdangles16 • 11y ago:
i hate the water temple... too confusing :(“ “@KeithHalsell • 2y ago:
it's been 9 years, i hope you are doing great in life now.” “@TheMrdangles16 • 2y ago: it couldn't be going worse Keith.”

This Sunday: we have a very special voyage of an episode to take you on. We're not only dedicating the main segment of the show to Vividlope, one of the best arcade-y puzzle games ever made with an equally great soundtrack, but we've also got a preview of the OST for the upcoming Flamecraft!

this is one of the most stylish games i've played in recent memory, and one of the best soundtracks too. also very accessible for people wanting to experience the world and vibes, while still offering some incredible challenge on the higher difficulties for those that want it

Crawl from your grave and fight your way through the ranks of a mysterious and twisted cult. You, your guns, and your dynamite will have to shoot, slide, blast, duck, dodge, to survive in this old-school-inspired shooter. Our CULTIC full review: somanygames.co.uk/review/cultic/

A person can be seen standing by a car as menacing people in hooded outfits walk towards them brandishing weapons. A mansion with searchlights can be seen in the background.

Included quote:

"The act of shooting never felt less than exhilarating, especially when interspersed between CULTIC's equally great moments of exploration and horror, and the solid survival mode is there to add potentially endless
replayability for the people that want it."

i was mercifully let out on good behavior from video game review jail for giving mina the hollower a 4.5/5. this time i reviewed CULTIC, which is 2/3 one of my favorite shooters i've ever played, and 1/3 a kinda big head scratcher that let down an otherwise all-timer

Happy Elden Ring Tarnished Edition release day! To celebrate I made a little Ranni Portrait. I wish everyone a lot of fun and not too much frustration when you start your journey across the Lands Beetween (again)! Let's make Ranni proud!💙 #EldenRing #TarnishedEdition #art #fanart #gameart #Ranni

Ranni the witch sitting in front of the night sky with the moon behind her. She looks melancholy as if she's lost in thought. The wind flowing through her hair.

i'm not even a big farming game guy and fields of mistria has had me by the throat the past week, largely due to how it blends farming with a more rpg inspired story and structure. @playnicekids.bsky.social describing it in this review as if Stardew Valley was made in 2026 is dead on
