Time Flies is a game about finding meaning... as a fly? Armed with a bucket list and 60 seconds on the clock, it's your job to make the most out of your short time here on earth. It's one of the… Time Flies is the most meaningful 60 seconds in gaming

Time Flies is a game that answers that question on everybody's mind:

"What if a fly had a bucket list?"

It's a deceptively smart and heartfelt game, experienced 60 seconds at a time.

Lorelai and the Laser Eyes is a surreal puzzle game built like a museum of riddles. There’s no map, no hints, no handholding—just your own curiosity and a notebook full of theories. In this episode… This puzzle game doesn't want to hold your hand (and that's good)

youtu.be/hawIA2iBxIg

A puzzle game that dares you to solve it without a single hint.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is deliberate, surreal, and unlike any puzzle game in a long time. Feels like a Kubrickian fever dream wrapped in a logic test.

Just published a new Substack. Three short takes this week:

☠️ Little Nightmares III and its IP journey
⛏️ Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor and the rise of survivor-likes
💸 Game Pass and why it’s still the last good deal in games

open.substack.com/pub/huco/p/c...

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is probably the most tactical survivor-like we’ve ever played. It ditches spectacle for space and tension.

You’re not just dodging — you’re mining your way out.

Full video in the thread 👇

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is a rare kind of spinoff that actually understands and retains the soul of the original.

It’s funny, tactical, weirdly tense. It's bullet heaven with brains.

Mosa Lina is Stuffed Wombat's answer to overly-designed puzzle games.

It's just a single goal, some random tools, and total chaos.

Pick it up on Steam and Switch for $8 (that's less than lunch!)

Trust the Players From Tokyo optimism to Miyazaki’s leadership lessons, the surprising kindness of YouTube, and AI’s push to control the front door of culture.

Just back from Tokyo. Industry optimism, Miyazaki wisdom, surprisingly good YouTube comments, and more. Link in reply.

Most puzzle games want you to feel clever. Mosa Lina isn't like most puzzle games. In this episode of Short Games, we’re talking about Mosa Lina — a chaotic, physics-based puzzle platformer where… The puzzle game that trusts you to be stupid

Mosa Lina is a hilariously broken puzzle game where the only solution is chaos. No hints, no plans, just pure improvisation.

Indika isn't exactly the textbook definition of fun, and that’s not a flaw. Developed by Odd Meter, a small studio that fled Russia mid-development, Indika is a bleak, surreal narrative game about… Why INDIKA was designed to be uncomfortable

Games like Indika don't come along very often.
One part fever dream, one part spiritual crisis, and somehow also a third-person puzzle platformer with NES flashbacks and train chases.
It’s messy, bold, and unforgettable.

There’s a moment in Sword of the Sea where the game just kind of loses itself.

You go from satisfyingly fluid movement to an awkward, clumsy dolphin section that drags on way too long. It’s a reminder of how fragile flow state can be, and how fast it can fall apart.

From the outside, Neon White seems like a genre-mashup doomed to fail. Borrowing DNA from games like Mirror's Edge and Inscryption shouldn't work on paper. But this first-person-shooter, card-based,… Neon White proves great design is worth stealing

youtu.be/daxg_WbYc-E

Neon White asks one question, over and over:

Do you want to move or do you want to shoot?

Your weapons in the game double as movement abilities, so there's this constant balance of offense and mobility that awakens the speedrunner inside us all.

Neon White is a case study in genre fusion that actually works.

It mixes FPS mechanics with puzzle platforming under a heavy blanket of speedrunning charm — and somehow still leaves room for a romance subplot.

It’s weird, it’s sharp, and kind of brilliant.

Exo One isn’t about combat, puzzles or score-chasing. It’s a game built entirely around one feeling: flow. If you’ve ever wanted a game that feels like flying through a dream, this is it. Links: 🎮… This Game Was Designed to Hypnotize You

Here’s my case for it → youtu.be/Wea-3e_iw0g

Hot take: Exo One is the best flying game ever made. And it doesn’t even have wings.
