Oct 14, 2026, 11:34 PMmeanwhile, for anyone on the Console side of retro, one of the great joys of steam is that there is frequently some guy who just drops their full scale dragon quest 1 style rpg on steam for like 5 bucks
this time, it's called Chaos Warrior.
Oct 14, 2026, 11:36 PMokay that was two games light on narrative, lets do two games that are all in on narrative
Thousnad Hells: The Underworld Heists is a new narrative by the king of dragon pass/six ages folks. If you don't know what that means, go play those games, and them come back excited to try this one.

Oct 14, 2026, 11:37 PMMeanwhile, from another set of narrative titans (both Wadjet Eye and Sunless Sea folks), Nighthawks is a text based vampire rpg that seems... expansive to say the least. For people who want to do a LOT of reading in their rpg, and want that reading to be GOOD.
Oct 14, 2026, 11:39 PMalright lets do the opposite of narrative text adventure, dumb fun fps games
BRAZILLIAN DRUG DEALER BEFORE 4: DEMONS FROM THE PORTAL TO HELL I OPENED ARE STILL IN THE FAVELA AND NOW I HAVE TO SAVE MAMADAS FROM RONALDO is actually called that.
Oct 14, 2026, 11:42 PMFor everyone else, there's the shockingly incredible SPRAWL ZERO
the retro fps revival has finally caught up to the era era of half life 2 and halo, and holy shit it feels good. Sprawl zero is INCREDIBLE to play, reminding you why you loved shooters from that era so much
Oct 14, 2026, 11:44 PMNext up two games in my annual "i wanted to highlight these cause they seem like games for the weird lesbians i know, as a weird lesbian myself"
toxic yuri is a yuri visual novel with a poison slimegirl and a bunch of different endings, depending on how... toxic you are to the cute toxic girl. get it?

i don't really know what's going on with bonitāka's aquarium of medusae. it seems short and cheap and really pretty low poly...
but sometimes that's enough... weird lesbians play this and tell me about it... so i can know it's secrets....

Oct 14, 2026, 11:51 PMokay last ategory: for two different types of person who love Tony Hawk Esque Skateboarding Games
first off, for anyone who goes "it's cool but it should be more arcadey": just make it fingerboards. Stuntboost is fast and goofy and sick as fuck. Good for people who like chasing speedrun leaderboards.
Oct 14, 2026, 11:55 PMFor anyone who wants less arcade, more Serious Skating: rollout inline is from the dev of Rooftops and Alleys, a sick parkour game.
I don't know enough about skating to really judge it, but it seems like a great pick if you care about inline.
Oct 14, 2026, 11:57 PMOkay, 5 more games that i didn't have a category for:
FLAMECRAFT is an adaptation of a super cute board game about dragons that I've played a number of times and really like. Great with a group, and also has a single player mode i haven't seen yet!
Oct 14, 2026, 11:59 PMEX SANGUIS is a new tactics roguelike from the devs of Othercide. If that game is anything to go off of, it'll be INCREDIBLY difficult, interestingly innovative with it's tactics mechanics, and just a bit horny in ways that hit a lot of women on the internet i know
Oct 15, 2026, 12:02 AMFUTURE? NO THANKS is the latest game from Molleindustria, who have been creating leftist games since before i knew what that meant. I've followed them for a decade and this comedy open world adventure game is their biggest, coolest project yet
