What if you had an #autobattler strategy game where you mine resources and mix up the map by playing #match3 a bit before hiring troops on the board you randomized, the whole deal wrapped with weird amusing cheeky self aware deadpan humor

Well then you'd be owning #TitaniumCourt

But instead you can have the demo

Best Indie Games to Play in 2026 โ€“ Must Try Picks

A curated list of indie games to play in 2026, featuring creative gameplay, hidden gems, and must-try titles for every gamer.

Times Of Games

Looking for recommendations: favorite relaxing side scroller/Metroidvania/RPG for the original Nintendo Switch. I've already played Hollow Knight so anything other than that.

I tell ya', buddy, it's been a long day for the Owlbear. Had to play fetch with a pack of werewolves, help a almiraj that got stuck in a fence, and finally chased a human away from a dryad tree before they could cut it down to makeโ€ฆ I dunno, I think he said a table. Anyway, I'm going to bed.

I said earlier that I was going to recommend a game that was hard to put down, so here it is: Ball X Pit isโ€ฆ okay, it's Arkanoid. Or Breakout, if you're GenX. You throw balls at bad guys that march down from the top of the screen.

It's devilishly simple, and very easy to get into right away, but then they add in resource gathering, and an odd city management thing, and did I mention the balls have special abilities that can be merged, evolved, and upgraded?

Game's fun, simple as. And hard to put down.

Anyway, that's it for me, the Owlbear is done. Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, play indie games.

BALL x PIT

BALL x PIT is a brick-breaking, ball-fusing, base-building survival roguelite. Batter hordes of enemies with ricocheting balls and gather the riches of the pit to expand your homestead, generate resources and recruit unique heroes.

If you're new to Switch, start with these highly-rated games:

๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ Zelda: Breath of the Wild (97) - Open-world adventure
๐Ÿ„ Mario Odyssey (97) - 3D platformer
โš”๏ธ Hades (93) - Roguelike action
๐Ÿ‘ป Hollow Knight (90) - Metroidvania
๐Ÿ๏ธ Animal Crossing (90) - Life sim

Mix of AAA and indie. Something for every mood.

All available DRM-free... oh wait, no they're not. That's the problem. ๐Ÿ˜”

The best PS5 games for 2025: Top PlayStation titles to play right now

Here are the best games you can get for the PlayStation 5 right now, as chosen by Engadget editors.

I... haven't been very active on here today, have I? Well, we got like a foot an a half of snow here today (that's about 45 cm for people using a sensible measurement system), so there's been a lot of shoveling.

Also, I'm tired and grumpy. But not too grumpy to do my game recommendation early tonight!

So, the Owlbear isn't really that into #VisualNovels. I had a lot of fun with Doki Doki Literature Club of course (who didn't?) but it's an anomaly in a couple different ways, not least of which that it's an actual game.

But that doesn't stop me from absolutely loving one with adorable clean art, wonderful characters, and charming stories... which brings us to A Year of Hot Springs.

Actually a collection of three short VNs about friends spending time at a hot spring resort, these tales have charm to spare, and hold a special place in my heart.

Love 'em all. Two Paws Up from the Owlbear.

A YEAR OF SPRINGS by npckc

three women, three stories, three springs.

1. #OuterWilds 32h so far

Very late to the party but glad I dropped by.

A game where you are stuck in a timeloop, exploring space and sating your curiosity.

Loved the campaign and one of the few games I wish I could forget and play again.
The DLC does not do it for me so far though, gd. I'm stuuuck.

2. #RivalsOfAether2 aka #Rivals2 Playtime:91h

The best platform fighter of all time.
The second best one being Rivals 1.
The third best one being Project M.
Everything else I'll still play but don't bother ranking.

Deal with it Melee purists.

One of the few that truly embraced and grew its competitive scene.

Butter smooth but responsive animations with pretty motion trails and Pixar reminiscing stretch and squash.

Exciting VFX, inspired pretty or funny premium skins

Same access to satisfying combos but with more defensive options than its prequel.

Proactive development with transparent patch notes outlining not only changes but philosophy behind them.

I'm excited for more modes and characters to show up. Every time a new one gets in I go lose a little more in ranked.

Miss having a playgroup for it though.
