Where I find the time to do actual reviews or other coverage, I will compose separate articles on the game in question. I highlight them as interesting based on the itch.io description and concept. In many cases these games will be unfinished or “in development,” but I’m highlighting them because they promise something special and are well worth keeping on the radar.
