    We're blown away by the quality of some of these indies compared to the bigger companies. It amazes me - this time around we are looking at Beyond Galaxyland on Nintendo Switch and you can win a copy as the publisher have kindly sponsored us to take a look. Here is everything you need to know! #Beyondgalaxyland #Nintendoswitch #games

    I love it when an indie team take elements that have been perfected elsewhere, rejig them and add in other well crafted elements and make something totally new, yet familiar at the same time. Passion projects over AAA is where we need to be spending more time and money.

    Hi mate,
    I just got 1000 gamer score on Brotato this week and noticed this game so I bought it straight away on the series X. It is amazing and for the quality I can’t believe the low asking price. I may just buy it again for my Switch OLED too.
    Just heed the warning near the beginning to use the save points though as there is no auto save just as it should be.
    Hitchhikers Guide and Red Dwarf was very popular here in Oz as well.
    Bloomtown also looks to be another killer ai die release too. Sort of like Stranger Things mixed with Xfiles and JRPG.
    Indies are just totally landing it lately where AAA have largely become irrelevant.

    I might get it later....... Just bought Epic Mickey, which will be my first time playing the first of the series. I played the sequel, which is thankfully much the same, however i really want to play the original. So far the graphics have been greatly improved and i can see why Warren Specter enjoyed this project so much. I love seeing how one's choices actually are shown in the game this way. They really fixed the camera. Even the sequel had issues there, and they fixed it and they also fixed the interaction with the gremlin. The music has also been improved. I hope you do a review once the hype has died down or at your earliest convenience.
