Hi there. We’re heading to the newer end of our normal reviewing territory today (so about 10-ish years ago), although there are plenty of echoes of older games here, in Wadjet Eye’s sci-fi adventure, Gemini Rue.

Hello and welcome to the latest Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), a series which, I’ve just decided, needs no further explanation in the introduction. I’m sure you can work it out, readers, even if you’re new around here. Today’s game is Telling Lies, a spiritual sequel (of sorts) to the subject of our very first indie […]

Hello once again and welcome to Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), a series with a title that should be self-explanatory but which still prompts me to attempt further elaboration at the top of each and every piece. If you like fairly rambling discussions about indie adventures with a story, you’re in the right place. Be careful, […]

Hello again, and welcome to our latest instalment of Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), a series which usually involves a moderately lively back-and-forth on the topic of a relatively modern indie title. Having covered one particular type of game pretty much exclusively so far, we’ve drawn a line under walking sims for now, capping things off […]

Hello everyone. As you may have noticed, the majority of games under consideration in our discussion series (with spoilers) have been so-called ‘walking simulators’, the arguably pejorative and dismissive term coined for first-person narrative adventures. That wasn’t necessarily always the intention, although after a certain point the prospect of catching up with a selection of […]

Hello and welcome once again to our semi-regular discussion series on modern (or at least fairly recent) indie games. As you know, Rik normally takes the lead on these discussions, but today he’s handed the editing baton to me, Jo – long-time FFG work experience kid. You never know, if it goes well, I might […]

Welcome again to Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), a series in which we discuss an indie game, with spoilers. Today’s game is The Suicide of Rachel Foster (developed by One O One Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment in 2020), in which you play as Nicole Wilson, a young woman returning, after the death of her […]

Welcome again to Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), our semi-regular, plot-spoiler filled adventure into the world of comparatively modern indie gaming. Today’s game is Virginia, a 2016 release from 505 Games, which sees you in the role of Anne Tarver, a fresh graduate from the FBI academy, partnering up with a more seasoned agent, Maria Halperin, […]

Hello and welcome to Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!), in which we venture into more modern territory by choosing a comparatively recent indie game and discussing it. With, er, spoilers. Today’s game is What Remains of Edith Finch, a 2017 adventure game from developers Giant Sparrow, in which the eponymous Edith returns to her now-abandoned childhood […]

Hello and welcome again to another entry in our discussion series, in which we momentarily step away from the dustier oldies, and venture into less familiar territory, known as ‘games released about five years ago’. These discussions tend to be centred on indie adventures, and feature extensive back and forth on plot points and story […]
