#IGR reviews: Myriads: Renaissance - a turn-based 4X strategy game with an emphasis on a “light” approach to the genre.
Coupling snappy turns with a selection of simple but impactful systems, Myriads aims to provide an accessible strategy experience with some elements of tower defense and city-building thrown into the mix. Developed by a two-person team, Myriads focuses on a bite-sized experience backed up by an unusual “islands in the sky” setting.

The #IGR is incomplete in its assessment of climate cost:
"#Drought and #heatwaves are excluded.
If there are climate-related national #SecurityRisks, they don’t get a mention.
Also omitted from any mention (and the previous IGR) is the #GreatBarrierReef. #Tourism may take a hit."
Longer life, #ageing population, #climatechange : seven key takeaways from the #intergenerational report. The sixth #IGR released by treasurer #JimChalmers predicts Australia’s ‘future to 2063’. Here’s everything you need to know. #australia

A review of #IndieGame #GriefTrigger at #IGR
"Two years have gone by since his father passed away, and Azrael’s life hasn’t been the same. Grief Trigger delves into their relationship, their memories, and Azrael’s attempt to come to terms with the loss.
Unfortunately, Azrael can’t remember key memories of his father. It turns out that ANTs – Automatic Negative Thoughts – have stolen them. Now it’s up to Azrael to destroy the ANTs and get his memories back..."

#IGR reviews #IndieGame #Papetura
“Handcrafted” is a buzzword that gets passed around the indie scene a lot these days. Numerous Steam pages proudly announce their “handcrafted levels” to distinguish them from the abundance of procedurally-generated fare. Maybe not the most elegant term in this case, but understandable enough.
Papetura by Polish developer Petums is another story entirely. Everything in the game is literally handcrafted from paper and animated digitally to create a world that, frankly, needs to be seen to be believed. It’s a massive undertaking that apparently took the developer years to accomplish. But can the game stand up alongside its peers like Machinarium?"

"The folks at Tour De Pizza cite #WarioLand as inspiration for their debut, #PizzaTower. But this game isn’t content to simply reimagine its influences: it improves upon them in every conceivable way."

#IGR review's #Lovecraftian #beat-em-up #GodsFromTheAbyss
"...From the cobblestone streets of a New England town to a ritual sacrifice deep in fog-haunted woods, Gods from the Abyss is steeped in atmosphere, employing a muted color palette reliant on earth tones and shades of gray (I was reminded a bit of Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones, in particular). Rich blues and purples help the player characters stand out.
Lots of little details, like Bob’s suspenders and flat cap, really nail the period feel, and brief cut-scenes between brawling sections help tell the story of two misfits punching their way through cultists to stop an occult apocalypse..."

#IGR reviews Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania, the DLC
"Dead Cells has never been shy about its primary inspiration. Proudly touting itself as a Rogue-like take on the Metroidvania format, it has ridden that twist on a beloved genre to fame and fortune. However, with the Return to Castlevania DLC, they’ve been given an opportunity few indies get: to incorporate the franchise that started it all back into their own game.
A daunting task, to say the least, one that lesser developers might buckle under. Thank the powers of darkness that Motion Twin and Evil Empire aren’t lesser developers. This DLC absolutely rules."

#IGR review #Inkulinati - "an excellent tactics game with an aesthetic delightfully entrenched in the art that inspired its creation. The focus on humor can sometimes feel excessive (I think Inkulinati could have taken itself much more seriously and maintained its charm), but the kooky style, deep tactics, and smooth play experience all come together to make a solid strategy game that is certainly worth checking out."

#IGR reviews #IndieGame Project Nosferatu!
"At first glance, I was ready to write off Project Nosferatu as yet another generic Zelda throwback. The trademarks are all there: top-down view, hack-and-slash combat, 8-bit aesthetic, and screen-by-screen exploration. Not exactly breaking the mold in the age of games like TUNIC, which aim to innovate on the formula.
While I wasn’t entirely wrong, Project Nosferatu does prove that there’s plenty of life and innovation left in the formula, as well as chances for deep storytelling. Most of the time, at least..."
