BIG Festival, one of the biggest indie game conventions in Latin America just yesterday. Over the course of a week, fans and enthusiasts were able to come to Centro Cultural São Paulo in downtown São Paulo to check out and play over forty five upcoming and recently released independent games from all over the world,…
No doubt, the original Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch was one of the prettiest games out on the previous generation of consoles. Studio Ghibli’s artistic touch gave an otherwise traditional RPG a unique feel that made it stand out among the numerous J-RPGs that came out during that time. It feels like…
Team 17’s been progressively becoming one of the more noteworthy publishers of indie games. Their E3 lineups consistently provide a variety of experiences, ensuring you can always count on a pleasant surprise or two.

If you’ve been reading the site for a little while, you probably know this by now, but if you’re new, here’s the deal: I’m a huge fan of the Monster Hunter series. I’ve been increasingly more dedicated with each new game, and for all intents and purposes, I’ll do the same with Monster Hunter: World,…

It helps too that there’s plenty of topics to explore that haven’t yet been mined for all they’re worth. State of Mind from Daedalic Entertainment is one of those games. Set…

From first-person horror games to point-and-click adventures, developers have been mining the Call of Cthulhu depths for a while.
