There have been some great indie games released on Steam, here’s a few we selected for this week. You might discover a wonderful experience in this mix:
Zzzz-Zzzz-Zzzz
A psychological puzzle platformer with nods to Metroid and Castlevania – immerse yourself in this beautiful dreamscape.
Lines
A unique ‘abstract zen experience’. Place or remove the dots to initiate a race where the dominant colour wins. Lines also features endless hours where you can create your own levels with the Steam Workshop!
Conarium
Run, hide and lose your mind in a chilling Lovecraftian game and challenge the ‘absolute’ limits of nature – soak up the atmosphere with your headphones at night.
Passpartout: The Starving Artist
See the world through the eyes of a French artist: create art and battle against the stuffy self-proclaimed art critics, survive your wine and baguette addiction and settle your debt.
World of One
Delve into a dark, depressing Poe-esque puzzle platformer with planet-based physics and mystery.
The Artifact
You are woken up from hypersleep in the future with a mysterious alien artifact – can you unlock the secrets of this short puzzle game?
Sentience: The Android’s Tale
A complex, choice-based narrative adventure game: see the world through the eyes of an android and encounter relevant questions about the future of AI and the human condition.
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap
Sumptuous hand-drawn animation and a re-orchestrated soundtrack make this worth your time – a high quality remake, now available on Steam – check out the trailer here!
Randall
In a dystopian world that doesn’t seem like such a departure from our own future, people are content living under constant surveillance and are happily enslaved – break the chains of tyranny and mind control as Randall in this attractive platformer.
Monolith
A top down, rogue-like, NES/SNES shoot ’em up with procedurally generated elements and a cracking chiptune soundtrack.
Axiom Verge: Multiverse Edition is now coming to the Switch (awesome!), alongside the Wii U, PS4 and Vita versions.
The Axiom Verge: Multiverse Edition will include the following:
Developer Thomas Happ had this to say:
People often asked me about the early days of Axiom Verge – about how I was able to make a game completely on my own over the course of 5 years of evenings and weekends while holding down a full-time job. The long form documentary format really made it possible for me to take the time and explain that process as well as go into some detail about the difficulties of balancing work and family responsibilities.
You can watch the trailer below – which console will you be buying the game for? For me it has to be the Switch. Let us know in the comments below!
The new trailer for Middle-earth: Shadow of War shows off some epic story scenes to come, and quite frankly, it looks awesome.
It shows Talion and Celebrimbor as they use the power of the New Ring to forge an army and confront the deadliest of enemies, including Sauron himself!
The video also features a host of new allies, villains and creatures that ‘The Bright Lord’ will encounter. Excited? Watch the trailer below.
Cubit The Hardcore Platformer Robot HD (that’s the full title folks!) is coming to the Wii U eShop tomorrow – for both the US and Europe.
The basic idea of the musical platformer? Game developer CoderChild (a former Ubisoft programmer who decided to go it alone) explains with some enthusiasm:
With only one button to jump, you must help Cubit to go from platform to platform, while you avoid obstacles and enemies through the different scenes of the game.
Perhaps you think this makes this game not difficult, right? Well, you are right; this game is not difficult… this game is Hardcore! Choose the path you want to do in each game and reach each of the 3 endings available!!
Some of the key features of the game include:
Our thoughts
Cubit The Hardcore Platformer Robot HD certainly looks like a lot of fun, especially if you’re into rhythm-platforming games. There seems to be some meat to the bones here as well, with quite a lot of content in the package.
Check out the trailer below to get a taste of what it’s all about. Will you be trying this one out? Or is your Wii U covered in dust and hidden away? Let us know!

In Drive By Hero, you play as a soldier who has to accomplish a mission of paramount importance: saving America by defeating rampaging zombies that you encounter during your adventure. With just your weapons and your vehicle at your disposal, try to survive in this apocalyptic shooter.
This writer hopes the vehicle doesn’t run out of fuel! Drive By Hero is available next week on Steam Early Access. Will you be giving it a look readers? Let the trailer below help you decide.
