I've just published a new video, an interview with @brlka.com and Rob Cocks of @ysbryd.net about Love Eternal. The game looks incredible and I can't wait to play!

While I had many issues with the game, @q-games.com's Dreams of Another is visually stunning, a living pointillist artwork that you paint with a gun. Thank you to @piratepr.com for the review key!

Dreams of Another Review — The Geekly Grind
Dreams of Another is an ambitious experiment from the director of PixelJunk Eden that doesn’t live up to its potential.

Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Badlands may not be as gritty as past franchise entries, but it's a ton of fun.

The Good Old Days from Yokogo Systems and GRAVITY is a really special Metroidvania and a heartfelt tribute to The Goonies and other classic 1980s adventure films.

Pale Coins from Austrian solo dev Lukas Irzl is an excellent blend of Zelda-like ARPG with soulslike combat mechanics. It's got gorgeous pixel art and plays great on Steam Deck!

I loved seeing Black Phone 2 from Scott Derrickson & @crobertcargill.bsky.social. It owes a lot to other movies, but it still felt unique. I particularly liked the use of 8mm film. Go see it on the big screen! @blumhouse.com
