Excited to be a part of next week's Back to School Celebration hosted by @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social!
Educational games need more love, so it's great there's a whole Steam event dedicated to them.
And this year, So to Speak is finally, actually OUT, so it can go on sale!

Wow, thanks for including So to Speak in this!
I'm doing this twice a year now, because there are so many great little games that ten picks just doesn't cut it.
The best PC games of 2025 (that don't need a graphics card)
You don't need a $2,000 graphics card to play the best new games. Here are ten great new titles from the first half of 2025 that'll run on almost anything, and don't cost much either.
