Indie Game Pulse Curated indie game content so you never miss a beat. Personally, my favorite genres are story-centric, like When The Past was Around or Florence.

Hi there, my name is Cody, and I love to play and review indie games from all genres (maybe a little less horror though). I also really enjoy good roguelikes and roguelites. I know, very opposite types of games.I love to meet other gamers and talk about about the best indie games coming out, and which games you are enjoying, so please feel free to comment on any video and I will be sure to get bac

k to you. You can always find me on Twitter or our community Discord as well. I look forward to meeting you and sharing our love for indie games!

With Halloween behind us, I can finally emerge from my hiding hole and enjoy some non-spooky indie games again, from a beat em up featuring a Robin Hood-type character set in Colonial Taiwan, to a serene game about Unpacking moving boxes, to a Martian exploration game coming sometime in the future which reminds me of a cross between Valheim and Subnautica.

Halloween is fast approaching next week, and lots of new spooky games are coming out of the woodwork, but there’s also a new roguelite coming up from Team17 that looks promising, and even a life sim focused on fishing the Canadian shore. And, I want to highlight a game that’s been announced without a definitive release date, but I think it should be on everyone’s radar.

Axe throwing has been pretty trendy over the last 2 or three years, in the States at least. There are facilities where you and your mates can go and get sloshed while practicing your overhead axe-hurling technique. To be honest, I've never seen the appeal of it, I'd rather stick to my ninja stars. But when Jack picks up the sacred axe, imbued with power and capable of being wielded only by the strongest men, she unlocks some sweet new moves that make for a really fun evening with or without your mates.

Tails of Iron from Odd Bug Studio and United Label has captivated me, not only with its wonderful, progressive world-building, but the story, music, combat, everything is just well-implemented and polished. In fact, as soon as I started thinking “Man, I wish the combat was a little more difficult”, I started getting my butt handed to me by some of the side-mission bosses. Tails of Iron releases on September 17th for PC, Nintendo Switch, and all Xbox and Playstation consoles.

Who doesn't love the thought of sitting in the grandstands under the big top tent, eating popcorn and cotton candy and being awed by the skilled trick riders, lion tamers, and jugglers. And here comes the glorious ring leader, in the center of the ring, all eyes are on him as he proudly asks "are you not entertained?" The Amazing American Circus releases on September 16th for PC, Nintendo Switch, and all Xbox and Playstation consoles.

If you’ve joined any of my streams, you’ll know I’ve got a decent board game collection proudly displayed behind me, so when I learned of Dice Legacy being made by DESTINYbit and Ravenscourt, and advertised as a roguelike survival city builder with a board game-style twist, I jumped at the chance to review it. And it had me rolling dice faster than an addict at a craps table.

Golf is a complicated sport. It takes years of learning finely-tuned mechanics to make it even barely tolerable to play, but golf video games on the other hand are a little more forgiving and accessible to the masses. Golf Club: Wasteland from Demagog studio and Untold Tales ups the ante by not only delivering 35 holes of post-apocalyptic fun, but by making you question the democratic and capitalist lifestyles that fuel our nations. Golf Club: Wasteland releases on September 3rd for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and Playstation. Check out my Golf Club Wasteland review to see whether you should play.

Here’s what I love about indie games - they come from all types of people, struggling with different problems, and all attempting to share a story or an experience with you, the player. Fabien Weibel, the solo developer behind Haven Park, created the game as a way to stay sane during the COVID lockdown in 2020 and beyond, and I think you can clearly see that portrayed in this lovingly-crafted exploration title.

Souls-like games bring me a level of enjoyment that walks a fine line between ecstasy and madness. From the challenging, yet so satisfying boss fights, to the endless, repetitive traversal of menial platforming sections to the point where your mind engages auto-pilot until you reach a boss. Grime deeply resonates with these sentiments, but in my opinion falls a little bit short due to its lack of depth.

The Ascent from Neon Giant and Curve Digital is a diamond in the rough, a cyberpunk RPG done right! The bleak post-apocalyptic world is somehow brimming with life, akin to the worlds of Mass Effect.

Lost at Sea from Studio Fizbin and Headup Games is a haunting walk down memory lane as you explore a serene island, but there are shadows, both literal and metaphorical, lying beneath the surface here as well. As your character Anna deals with the pain of loss, and questions her life decisions, my only question is, does this walking simulator have enough to keep you interested?
