In Gleamlight, you play as a sword in a world of glass

Gleamlight
Gleamlight is a hidden indie jewel that caught my attention completely. In this 2D action platformer, you play as a sword. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY1RtoxBNPU I know, your character doesn't look like a sword. That's because you take the role of Gleam, a sword that took the form of a child. You will take on fearsome enemies in a quest to reach the...

The Office Quest review boss
The Office Quest calls on you to break your monotonous routine and go on an adventure.

Feudal Alloy review: Just keep slashing

Feudal Alloy review
Feudal Alloy's weird premise doesn't go anywhere, but the combat and visuals create a Metroidvania you can, quite literally, easily get lost in. Feudal Alloy is set in a world filled with robots, and the fish controlling them. It might be a reasonable idea that fish will outlive humanity and take over the world someday, but the game doesn’t bother...
