Some of these games do look interesting but man, even the indie space is running out of ideas

Agree - a lot of the “same” but each year I find 2 or so bangers that go straight to my must buy!

Vampire survivors was not on PlayStation? That is a pretty addictive game. Probably the highlight among all those games. It sold like crazy on steam.

PD I love how these indie games release on PS5/Series consoles only and then switch. I am sure there's still a sizable number of PS4 and Xbox one owners that could play those games.

Holy holy holy shit the absolute highlight of the show. Previously a PC exclusive, but now with a chance to make bank on PS5. This is going to be amazing. An immersive sim sci-fi noir detective game? Fuck yeah sign me up

Also Broken Roads was announced to be live on Consoles/PC during the show:

Lowlight. Was so looking forward to this but it sounds like it came out fundamentally poorly designed.

I had never even heard of this game - looks right up my alley. There is actually another (kind) of similar one also coming this year (detective + horror) - its caled Holstin. Here a vid (not from the show)

Had not heard anything about Broken Roads - being “Broken” I’ll go youtube it and see what people are saying about how it landed.
