An old-school Zelda-like, Skate Bums and other new indie games worth checking out
"There were lots of good stuff in this week's Convergence Showcase too, including another peek at Mouse: P.I. for Hire as we get to see one of the game's bosses for the first time. This first-person shooter with rubber-hose animation is set to arrive on March 19. There were other welcome announcements for me in this showcase. First, there was a release date for the Zelda-inspired adventure Gecko Gods."
"I've had this on my wishlist since 2022, so I'm glad to learn it'll hit Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PC on April 16. In addition, record shop sim Wax Heads (which probably should have been called Low Fidelity, tbh) is coming to PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and Nintendo Switch on May 5. You can check out a Steam Next Fest demo for that one now."
"For one thing, Balatro publisher Playstack could be about to cause another mass reduction in collective productivity with Raccoin, which now has a release date of March 31. This is another roguelike deckbuilder, but this time it's in the form of a coin pusher. I didn't have a chance to check out the previous playtest to get a better sense of why there's so much buzz around this one, but I'll for sure be trying the Steam Next Fest demo, which is available now."
Four indie game showcases occurred in a single day, presenting trailers, interviews, demos, and release dates for multiple upcoming titles. The Black History Month Black Voices in Gaming Showcase included available and forthcoming games such as Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator and Aerial_Knight's DropShot. The Convergence Showcase previewed a boss for Mouse: P.I. for Hire and confirmed a March 19 release, announced Gecko Gods for April 16 on Switch, PS5, and PC, and revealed Wax Heads arriving May 5 with a Steam Next Fest demo. Indie Fan Fest set Raccoin’s March 31 release and also promoted a playable demo. The Quebec Games Celebration Showcase accompanied related Steam sales.
