Brigador Killers is the kind of sequel that clearly did not want to play it safe. Instead of simply giving players more mechs, more guns and more buildings to flatten, Stellar Jockeys and Gausswerks have pushed the original Brigador formula in a much bigger direction. You can still climb into heavy vehicles and turn city streets into rubble, but now you can also get out, fight on foot, scavenge weapons, manage equipment and steal whatever machine looks useful next. It makes...

A game about feeding rubber ducks into a mysterious corporate abyss sounds like the sort of idea someone comes up with at 2 a.m. and forgets by morning. Somehow, Project P.I.T.T. turned that exact concept into one of August’s more unexpected indie success stories. Developed largely by solo developer Froke, the project began around a year before release as a small experiment inspired by incremental games and automation. Instead of watching numbers increase on a menu, the idea was to...

On August 6, ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs officially launched on Steam with a relatively simple idea: players run an electronics repair shop in Tokyo during the 2000s. Two weeks later, the game from Mandragora and tinyBuild has quickly become one of the more notable indie success stories of August. From selling 100,000 copies on its first day to surpassing 300,000 copies in just one week, ReStory has not only made a strong commercial impact but has also maintained around 95%...

Minecraft Dungeons II has finally stopped lurking in the shadows and decided to show us some new footage.
