A stylish shooter, occult Solitaire and other new indie games worth checking out

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-29 08:00:19

Welcome to our latest roundup of indie game news and releases. We've got some nifty stuff lined up for you this time around, including a stylish co-op shooter and a very cool Metroidvania concept. But first I'd like to bring your attention to a newish game I picked up in the Steam Summer Sale. It is absolutely breaking my brain — or perhaps it might actually improve my cognitive function. It's called Ambidextro and it's from Majorariatto, which self-published the game (the two-person studio's t

For a moment in time, fantasy fans were split between whether Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies or HBO's Game of Thrones prestige TV show was the best adaptation of a classic book series. But the Oliphaunt in the room is that the last seasons of the latter plummeted so far in quality that it soured opinions on the show as a whole, especially with its divisive ending.

The Best Co-op Games for Every Situation

Cooperative play is intrinsic to gaming. Some of my earliest (and best) gaming memories are of hours-long gaming sessions with friends. There's a reason why Hazelight Studios' Split Fiction and It Takes Two were so well received -- people love playing games with others. Bonus points if you don't need two copies of the game, or can do so from the same couch.

Playdate’s second season sucked me back into the little yellow handheld

The Playdate is easy to forget about. It’s colorful and weird, but it’s also tiny. Like the Game Boy Micro before it, sometimes I toss it in a bag and then can’t remember where I put it. But over the past few weeks, the yellow handheld has been in constant rotation in my house, despite being up against big distractions like Mario Kart World and Death Stranding 2, thanks to the Playdate’s now-complete second season of games.

Google is working to bring album art to Now Playing on your Pixel’s lock screen (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Now Playing detects songs your phone hears in its vicinity and can identify them on your lock screen. Tapping on the detected song name currently takes you to your Now Playing history. Google is working on a new interface where that tap would instead display album art on the lock screen.

There's a complex science to differentiating between first-person shooter games. The movement shooter is the antithesis of the military simulation, and you can't be any farther away from a boomer shooter than a battle royale. A slurry of subgenre archetypes, tags and "gameplay feels" serve as the building blocks for FPS taxonomy, creating a tried-and-true system to organize new games. That's why it's all the more thrilling when a new experience resists being cleanly categorized. Yes, developer

To play polo at the highest level, you have to love horses or be filthy rich. Ideally both. A team might field around 40 ponies for each game and draw on a roster of hundreds of potentially playable horses for each tournament. In the gaps between tournaments, top players scour the globe for new equine talent—trying to snaffle foals from elite bloodlines or looking to ex-racehorses to uncover a polo star in the rough.
