The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
Tom Chick - "For the first time since I’ve been doing these lists, which is probably ten years or more, over half of my choices are from independent developers. It’s an encouraging development. When you consider the movies chosen by critics on any given year, you won’t necessarily see the most popular, and you probably won’t see the most profitable, or the movies with the biggest budgets. Instead, you’ll see lists that include the best of independent cinema, arthouse releases, or at least the indie branding from the major studios. When the best of the year skew towards people who aren’t beholden to stockholders, it’s a sign that a medium is maturing creatively. Leave financial success, hollow fun, and the pursuit of pure entertainment to the corporations. Leave thoughtful design, innovation, storytelling, and creative impact to the hungry men and women with something to say."
Chalgyr's Game Room writes:
Massive Chalice is a game that mixes strategic combat, RPG elements and even takes from simulation games to create something that oddly feels both refreshingly new yet comfortably familiar at the same time. The end result is an interesting game with some questionable mechanics that keep the title from ever completely taking off, but is still fun for strategy enthusiasts.
