Do you like trains? Do you like simulations? Do you like resource-management-puzzles? If this introduction reminds you of yesterday's post, then you'll probably realise quickly that we're reviewing Train Valley 2 today and that I'm still as uncreative as yesterday! Developer: Flazm Publisher: Flazm Genre: Trains, Strategy, Simulation, Puzzle, Casual Release Date: April 15, 2019... Continue Reading →
Trains are quite cool, aren't they? They look cool and they're fast and it's a disaster when they crash into each other and I lost my train of thought, so I'll just say that today we're taking a look at Train Valley, a casual train-sim-puzzle by Flazm! Developer: Flazm Publisher: Flazm Release Date: September 16,... Continue Reading →

"It's the second week of the To The Moon Play-Along and alas we're getting right into Act 2!", is what I would have said if I wasn't late with this post. Alas, an explanation: I was not at home to play the game and therefore couldn't write a post on this prompt. I couldn't play... Continue Reading →
What does it take to become a good mercenary? What does it take to outwit your opponents, to survive? What does it take to escape the Sergasso Nebula? Well, according to today's game, Void Bastards, it only takes water, prisoners, and a whole lot of sneaking. In today's Indietail we're taking a look at Void... Continue Reading →
So you created an account as well now, eh? Welcome to Twitch! It's a lovely platform with a bunch of issues but you haven't heard about those yet since you've only been viewing people from afar or you've heard about all those big Twitch streamers before, so you're trying to be like that! Maybe you're... Continue Reading →
At this point, thirty minutes ago, StuffedWombat, the developer of Gutwhale, asked on Twitter what long term effect this 1000+ game bundle will have on the people that will buy games/that have big gaming backlogs already... and well,... here's my answer to that. https://twitter.com/wombatstuff/status/1271388336826048516 When I speak of "this bundle" I mean the Bundle for Racial Justice...

There are some games out there that probably everyone has already played or that people would deem "Classics". It's games that get spoiled constantly since everyone already played them… Games that are the milestones that started entire franchises and genres. Games that are so great that it's a miracle that I haven't played them yet!... Continue Reading →
Some heroes are known for fighting windmills! Some others are known for getting tossed coins at! And some others… well… they have buckets on their heads and fight evil stuff to save their wife! In today's Indietail we're talking about the latest demo of ClunkyHero! Developer: Chaosmonger Studio Release Date: March, 2021 Genres: RPG, Action,... Continue Reading →
There are all kinds of games out there with all kinds of presentations and premises. A lot of games in the Indie scene feature unique premises that may have not been explored all that much, just yet, and often also present us unique and interesting design choices that you either hate or love. Today we're... Continue Reading →
Ever participated in a Group-Reading-Event? Me neither! But Naithin borrowed the idea and planned out this Play-Along event so I thought I'd participate and also discover a cute new game… and this time around it's To The Moon! So, during last Tuesday's stream, we started off playing through the first Arc of To The Moon... Continue Reading →
This is a shorter longer post and potentially a bit "heavier" than usual but this time around it's about "our voice" and about politics in a way. It's about my beliefs and my take on the matter and everything that is going on right now... and I'm telling all kinds of -ists and -phobes to... Continue Reading →
The last Stray Sheep has been half a month ago already so I thought I'd post something in that section already. This time around, we're talking about categories! Currently, I'm doing mostly reviews (Indietail) since I originally wanted to do exactly that, review titles in my library and work through my backlog. The Gaming Journey... Continue Reading →
You're instantly there… on Hart's Island. Home to millions of corpses. Corpses of the unknown, the unidentified, the poor and the sick, dead bodies found somewhere or people too poor to get a private funeral. Among them, an actor called Luck Miller. Developer: ben lunato Publisher: ben lunato Genres: Walking Simulator, Adventure, Narration Release Date:... Continue Reading →
RNG was always has been a part of the rogue-like genre, from what I've seen. Surely, some games don't rely on RNG at all, be it in the form of items, levels, enemies or stats. Some games don't need to have that element of chance and randomness in their code but I wouldn't call "RNG"... Continue Reading →
I've talked about my fear of spiders in the past before in this post and even in this one… but ever since I've visited that spider-convention nearby and had that tarantula on my hand, I have not really encountered any spiders in my flat. And apart from "Kill It With Fire", I haven't seen any... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could fly on a majestic creature like a dragon? Have you ever wanted to surge through the skies and explore vast areas? Have you ever dreamed of true freedom with no boundaries whatsoever? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions or if... Continue Reading →
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Never really used this... but apparently my blog is on there anyways... so, you might as well consider following it, if you're using Bloglovin'. Question for you: Who even uses Bloglovin'? Let me know, I want to recruit them! Eventually, I'll be big enough for a Dr Pepper sponsorship so... Continue Reading →
If Earth was flat, cats would have thrown everything off of it by now. In today's Indietail, we're taking a look at a game about doing just that: Flipping stuff off shelves, tables, and basically making a mess. After having been left alone by our dear owner, we've got to trash the owner's place. We're... Continue Reading →
Steam has gotten a bunch of updates that were quite neat. I love the "new" (it's not that new anymore) library with the dynamic and static collections, the new home screen, the updates being shown there at the front page as well as the fact that it all looks like a shelf where you keep...

Blapril2020 is over and this is a wrap-up post! Just the other day, Belghast posted his Blapril-Rundown with all the stats, awards and participants and therefore concluded the event for now. "During the entire series run of March 29th through May 9th we had 48 total participants and they crafted 1124 blog posts. This works... Continue Reading →
This is a post about toxic people and toxicity in general, I guess. And to make this post less sad or personal or heavy, I'm also adding cat pictures into the mix - and I'm not adding any pictures of cats that I know and love but generic cat pictures from the wordpress library to...

A while ago, I've reviewed Risk of Rain 2 and had a blast, but since it got updated a ton over the course of more than a year now, I wanted to write about it again and… well… I recently got back into it again and had a blast, again. So, strap on for today's... Continue Reading →
It hasn't been too long since we posted about our last look at Ring of Pain and there's already been a new updated demo for it. The last version was V0.8.21 while this one (got updated today, again) is already at V0.8.36, featuring a complete stat-overhaul and some UI-improvements, item effect changes and other updates....

It's May and thus, there will be a new Humble Choice - and this time, I thought I'd give you my choices and thoughts. So, while the idea isn't new or anything (after all, Naithin and others probably are on it for this month!), I'll try to do something about this month and talk about... Continue Reading →
Social media is weird… or rather: I haven't really figured it out. I'm constantly shitposting on that Instagram-account that my first ever girlfriend forced me to create and after 502 posts of uh… mountains… vineyards… vacation… museums… "Do Not Touch" signs that I've touched… and me, I guess,… well… apparently 166 people are following me...

It's springtime… for spiders… in Germany! (Uh, I hope nobody minds that reference…) Yeah, spring has already kicked in with its sweet scent of flowers and lawns, with pollen flying through the air (I'm not bothered by it), wasps bothering me on my balcony, with sunny and rainy days and generally a forecast that leaves...

I'm starting to get old. My tutors are starting to use programs I've never heard about like Zoom and Rocketchat and while I'm able to use Zoom right now... I'm completely failing at Rocketchat and have no clue what I'm supposed to do. Signing in doesn't seem to work and using the link and the... Continue Reading →
April's Humble Choice offered you the option of downloading a DRM-free demo of Ring of Pain (v0.8.21) if you signed up for the choice, so I not only got some nice games this month but also got to see how much the game changed ever since the demo I played last year in August! But... Continue Reading →
A while ago... well... a few months ago, I should say, I was nominated by Frostilyte to participate in a new tag post thing. And then I thought I'd do it later... and then I forgot about it... and now it seems like a good day to post about that, so uh... here! What's this... Continue Reading →
