New games before the wikis catch up. Daily release radar, launch-week deals, and the pages nobody's written yet. Weird indie finds included.

The vehicle is a castle. The castle is hungry. Wanderburg (Early Access now) won gamescom's Most Entertaining award days before launch, and the 77% positive review score keeps arguing about one thing: the turning radius. Charming or infuriating? #IndieGames #Roguelike

A deckbuilder where you never touch the wheel. The Loopler, out yesterday at $8.99: build the loop — cards, gates, charms — then a slot car runs it while the numbers melt. Demo ran 7 months, 91% positive. Idler or deckbuilder? Wrong answers welcome. #IndieGames #Roguelite

97% positive but the 3% have real points: a 2-hour campaign, mouse sensitivity bugs, one accessibility complaint worth reading. Full numbers, complaints, buy-or-skip → https://t.co/WNlD36r5XH

1,880 reviews in ten days, 97% positive. BOMBANANA! = three monkeys defuse one bomb, and none of them share a sense: one can't see, one can't hear, one can't speak. My best run came from two lobby-browser strangers. Strangers or friends — who defuses more? #IndieGames #Coop

Anime Shop Simulator hides a real PvP card game behind the cash register. Stock manga shelves, open booster packs, then duel someone over the rare pulls.

Day-one reviews: Mixed. The co-op groups are the happy ones.

Sell the rares or hoard the collection? #IndieGames #Steam

ZUN just remade his own game. Touhou 6 came out in 2002, never officially left Japan, and it now hits Steam, Switch and PS5 with every track rearranged — 2002 original included in the same $17.99 bundle. Classic rules or unlimited lives? #Touhou #STG

Ace Combat 8's premise: the legendary ace 'Wings of Theve' dies in the opening invasion, and command hands his name — and his lie — to you. Out Oct 1, $70, PC/PS5/Xbox. Day-one buy or wait for performance reports? #AceCombat8 @BandaiNamcoUS

Shroom and Gloom is out now (EA, $14.99) — a first-person deckbuilder with no blocking. You heal by seasoning and cooking the monsters you just killed. Double deck (explore/fight auto-swap) or single deck: genius or clutter? #IndieGames #Deckbuilder

86 pages of comments on a free Alyx mod, and one dev finally said: fine, it's a real game now.

Gunman Contracts - Stand Alone is out today. Rebuilt in Unity, no Alyx needed, plays fine on a plain monitor.

Headset or keyboard — which way are you playing? #VRgaming #IndieGames

Warlord: Awaji is out: you command a samurai army from inside the warlord's body, then draw your own blade when the line breaks. Day one is spicy though - crashes, a soft-locked tutorial, no key rebinding. Brave buy or wait for a patch? #IndieGames #StrategyGames

Tiny Eden tip before you blame your green thumb: grow lights and heaters only snap to 4x4 planters, some planters refuse water with a 'not a planter' error, and the in-game manual shipped with missing pages. Sad plant? Check the planter first. #CozyGames #TinyEden
