Seems like I was in a sci-fi combat mood picking my Games of the Year for 2025: #BallisticNG, a Wipeout-style anti-grav racer; #StarofProvidence, a brutal twin-stick roguelite; and #StarRacer, a retro combat racer with a SNES-era #FZERO vibe. Link: https://t.co/RF80PgT3yN

@kasavin Finally pulled the trigger and bought it on Switch. The first Hades was incredible, hard to think how it can be topped. Excited to dive in!

@Ridzilla On the console, when viewing our game library, give us the ability to sort the list by ‘most to least played’ with the most played games (total play time) at the top (and vice versa).

@AirframeUltra @indieexchange This looks so cool. Love those PS1-era wobbly textures.

Sharing a feature I wrote for SuperJump on BallisticNG, a high-speed anti-gravity racer with a brutal learning curve and pure flow-state gameplay. As a huge Wipeout fan, this was an unreal find. #Gaming #AntiGravityRacing #BallisticNG #Wipeout #IndieGames https://t.co/nQ9er5xGbx

@gamedevdotcom While I agree that Portal was very influential, is it really the most influential game of all time?

@sadcatstudios Please release on Mac. I really want to play this!

[Ben Rowan @LaunchCannon]

@kenneth_hawk @alex_frostwolf Amen to that

[Ben Rowan @LaunchCannon]

@WoWMistiq @alex_frostwolf Change those robots to giant mechs and rename it Titanfall 3. Job done. Game saved.

Here are my Gamescom Asia 2025 highlights. It was a super fun (and hectic) day, with a stack of standout demos, and a reminder that SEA’s indie scene is on fire in a good way. Looking forward to next year. #GamescomAsia #IndieGames #ThailandGameShow https://t.co/tJSADPSwpa
