I’ve been playing a lot of Meteoidvanias and Zelda-likes, and I think I have a good idea of what I like. But is it heresy to say that I don’t really like Hollow Knight? I’ve tried, but I just can’t jive with it. Anyone else feel that way? Any game recommendations?

This is great news! The Expeditions series is great. Hoping good things to come from these guys. Will they have their own BlueSky?
After 2 years of silence (and one mysterious patch), we’re thrilled to confirm: Campfire Cabal is back in full production, working on the next Expeditions game!

New era. New setting. Same dedication to historical RPGs. Stay tuned!

These are the type of devs we should support (esp. if we like their game). Ones with personal vision, who love stories, who are doing it for the craft of it. This feels like the people I grew up around - craft fair people selling their handmade pottery...
