    Ah yes, noted indie studio Gearbox Software, among others. Sarcasm aside, I’m hoping to see some cool stuff come out of this event :P

    I’ve been one of those people who’s become absorbed with Helldivers 2 lately, but since that’s all over the place I’ll just note that I enjoy it quite a bit.

    A more niche pick that I got from the spring sale on steam was Cavern of Dreams which is this little n64-styled platformer that has a baseline charming aesthetic but gets a bit darker the further you delve into it. Pretty solid little game you can finish in a couple of smaller sessions or one “I don’t have much to do today” session. The reward for collecting all of the eggs was pretty nice, and practically kneecaps the final encounter if you get stuck trying to finish the game.

    I’d place it in the league of other cozy-themed platforms like “Mail Time” and “Smushi Come Home” (which are so visually similar it’s almost hilarious). Though it seems more visually invested in dealing with darker themes like “Super Kiwi 64” and “Corn Kidz 64”, the latter of which is next on my list after finishing Psuedoregalia (Not a lot of thoughts yet, pretty mechanically solid with good sound design)

    My pick is For Whom the Bell Tolls by Avi Vinocur. It's a much more somber take on the song, and doesn't feature any percussion. The original is by Metallica. Special shoutout to Apocalyptica's...

    The original is by Metallica. Special shoutout to Apocalyptica's version which is less moody but still incredible in it's own way.
