I write about indie games literally every week, so this should be doable. HERE WE GO!

Consume Me will disarm you with its earnest approach to difficult topics like eating disorders and teenage angst due to its smart calendar structure. Its WarioWare-style minigames are fun too!

Nick is a great friend of mine and today is his birthday! 🥳
Another year down, another year begins. Or something like that.
It’s my birthday.

Been having an influx of followers, so a reintroduction is in order.
My name is AndresPlays, and I'm a gaming critic, indie streamer, and content creator.
If you love:
- Video games 🎮
This is the right place to be. More than escapism, I usually share a meaningful take on them.

Promoting an indie game in 2025-6 is VASTLY different to how it was in 2014. It feels like Pipistrello filled the Zelda-troid-ish niche that Mina left vacant, and that still hasn't hit 1000 user reviews yet.
The Shovel Knight spinoffs haven't sold great either, IIRC, despite the knight's ubiquity.

I really don't think I'm good at videogames. Like, at all. What made me finish Sekiro, Nioh, and the Souls games is how stubborn I am.

Virtue's Heaven is still on sale over on Steam. It's a game that took me a long time to make and that doesn't hide that history and the flaws that come with that.
I'd appreciate it, if you could give it a chance.

The world ends tomorrow, your friends are imprisoned and those responsible for both have stolen the future. The time for deliberation is over. It is time to be reckless, irresponsible and beautiful.

Not trying to gain any sympathy, but man, has the start of this year sucked. On Jan 1st, I tripped in the bathroom and scraped my knee while also started to develop a sore throat. So, coughing and limping is not how I thought I'd begin 2026. Ah, well. I'll be on the mend soon.

As a Mexican, you learn early in history books the rampant government destabilization campaigns the US engaged in Latin America last century. To see it crystal clear today is appalling, distressing, unwarranted. It needs to stop.

Delighted to look back at my decision to settle here. Would not have had it any other way.
Touched by the genuine discussions of the community here. Being able to bring up nuanced subjects is something I felt was lost along the way.
Appreciate you all. Bringing this authentic energy into 2025.

Chatting with Jared from the Play Along podcast is one of my fave works from last year, and I'm always glad when friends give it a chance.
Checking out @playalong.bsky.social Halo 2/Final Fantasy XVI's Get Rec'd episode! Such a cool and interesting listen. These are 2 games that I've played very recently, Halo 2 in late 2024 & FF16 last year.
Thorughly enjoyed both games. A very fun listen!

I'm glad awards season is over. I was getting a little tired of writing so many blurbs after doing 80+ of them.

What's that? I have to do one of my most anticipated 2026 games?

Someone once gave me great advice regarding streaming. Don't worry about people leaving, but care about those who choose to stay. On my first anniversary, I just want to congratulate everyone who continues to "Go Live!", and wish the best of luck to anyone who will embark on it.
