I merged in all the incomplete entries, which I'm working on chipping away at and filling in the details of, which has bulked the list up to 324 items. But some of them are for entire series' or platforms, so probably ~400 games here.

A reminder that for every billion dollars made on PC gaming, Newell pockets $300m.
He keeps out of the public eye better than some billionaires, but he is still a libertarian billionaire, and billionaires should not exist.

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT!
The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page!
Stay safe out there y'all

Among the MANY games I'm still looking forward to, I'm hoping we get the final update for Space Cats Saga this year, a guilty-not-guilty pleasure Doom mod.
dertimmy.itch.io/space-cats-s...
Final version will have 5 episodes & 7 playable characters, one of which is Doomguy. He's nearly shortest.

With just a few hours left on the Steam Autumn Sale, I did one last roundup of indie gems to get cheap before closing time - everything here 50% or less.

Aah, here's a deep cut sales recommendation - how does King Of Dragon Pass, But You're An Actual Dragon sound?
Golden Treasure is a prose-heavy dragon life sim/RPG. Complex, messy & very replayable. Hunt, hoard, learn magic, commune with nature, and decide what to do wish these weird 'human' things

And because some people are still misreading things: Reverse Collapse is NOT a gacha game.
There are games sharing its setting that ARE, but this one is a fully self-contained (and lengthy) strategy RPG with no microtransactions or DLC except for a single formal-wear skin pack.

Oh no... Andrew Dice wasn't just a cool, friendly pillar of the community, he was one of the people most influential in bringing down the boundaries between the Japanese indie games scene and the rest of the world.
He opened doors and brought so many great stories to us. Farewell to a real one.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

This is why I proudly do those hidden gems roundups every few months. There are SO many great games that just did not sell big, often for reasons as arbitrary as 'It was a day ending in Y'.
Games hardware is plateauing and the Steam Deck is a great bottom line for PC now. Games don't 'age' easily.

a huge number of inspired, creative and very very worthy-of-people's time games come out daily on steam and what inspires me is the hope that people will still find them and play them even if and when they aren't hollow knight level successes. the idea that maybe we can have careers that way

There's 3 big game stores in the western world.
Two are run by billionaires, take huge cuts & heavily limit which games can be published.
One is run by a tiny team, is free to use, open to all and is currently hosting a huge queer games bundle.
Guess which is being attacked for being "anti-LGBT".

One of the strongest arguments I have against 'needing' AI art to make games if you're not an artist is Astlibra.
26k+ reviews, 95% positive and made almost entirely out of stock RPG Maker assets and files from free sound/music libraries.
Because you can FEEL real human creativity under that jank.

Astlibra Revision looks bizarre, but when you play it, you'll see why it's become a huge hit on Steam.

This. Like how are they supposed to tell you what the rules are when the payment processors can't tell them?
I think someone going "This isn't a viable platform for my work" given these facts is SUPER VALID but y'all acting like the store with the 0% revshare option is looking to rob people.

In continuing my Itch apologism, ‘we’ll know it when we see it’ is how every platform ever has enforced their own policies. Itch is just being transparent about it now they’re being forced to have rules.
