Dredge Review

Dredge layers a creepy atmosphere on unique fishing mechanics to create an engrossing and original adventure.

Mechstermination Force is brief, joyously challenging, delightful to look at, and wonderful to hear.

Cat Quest is an exhilarating intersection of speed and simplicity.

SteamWorld Heist has the potential for fun shooting and challenging strategy but is occasionally undermined by randomization and repetition.

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider is an adequate retro platformer that plays to its developer’s strengths.

Mortal Shell is a contradiction: an inadequate and acceptable alternative to an infamous inspiration.

Foretales disrespects my time and effort.

Vampire Survivors is great fun to learn, but once I know what I am doing my interest wanes.

Of the indie videogames I played in 2022, I feel these are the five best.

Tinykin is a wonderful 3D platformer, almost totally devoid of notable flaws.
