The intro montage very briefly shows that you've covered Lunarium, Sovereign Tower, Big Walk, Rubinite, and Feed the Scorchpot elsewhere -- but several of those are worth mentioning more, I think, and I'm at least curious about the others My picks for Rad 2026 Releases would also include: Esoteric Ebb, The Incident at Galley House, Entropy, Vholume, Moves of the Diamond Hand, Alabaster Dawn, Orb of Creation, The Ratline, Terraformental, Banquet for Fools, and Perfect Tides 2 I think/hope these might also qualify but just based on dev history / reviews, less personal contact (if I've missed good reviews for any of these, I'd love to see them!): Mermaid Mask, the This Bed We Made DLC: Lost & Found, Scarlet Deer Inn, Moldrise, Crushed in Time, Schrodinger's Cat Burglar, Burden Street Station, Rubato, Mythmatch, Dead in Antares, Key Fairy, Aether & Iron, Forgotlings, Who Summoned It?, Hermit and Pig, Menace, Vultures: Scavengers of Death, ZERO PARADES, Paranormasight 2, and HoMM: Olden Era
I enjoyed Cleared Hot this year. Don't know if you guys covered it at all and I just missed it but it's basically Desert Strike from the Sega Mega Drive (ok, Genesis, whatever) days with a different setting and story and some new, fun mechanics for your chopper. For me, having rose tinted glasses from that era of gaming, it was a blast.
Dammit Marty, I'm trying to clear the backlog before October! Marble's Marbles looks really good though, like a nice pick-up-put-down experience
I have played too much suika game. I still suck. I don't care.
Man I'm happy to see Opus here! its so good, it's the fourth entry in the franchise and each one has a different genre and they are not sequels just different stories taking place in the same universe
I recommended caribou trail on one of your twitch streams, Marty! After the literal dozens of games I've played thanks to second wind, it's nice to recommend one you liked!
