Developed by the creators of the famous Long War mod for XCOM, this isn’t just a game about shooting aliens – it’s a game about the politics, science, and industrialisation required to save (or sell out) humanity.
Why It’s Different
Most games start with an interstellar war. In Terra Invicta, you start with a telescope and a few shadowy agents. You don’t control a nation; you control a shadowy faction (like the Resistance, the Humanity First, or the pro-alien Servants) competing for influence over Earth’s superpowers.
The Scale is Mind-Blowing
Earth Politics: Manipulate the US, China, or the EU to funnel resources into your space program.
True Newtonian Physics: No “planes in space.” Ships move based on actual delta-v and orbital mechanics.
The Solar System is Your Sandbox: Build mines on the Moon, shipyards around Mars, and outposts in the asteroid belt.
A Hard Sci-Fi Tech Tree: Research everything from nuclear thermal rockets to antimatter reactors.
Which Path Will You Choose?
Are you going to build a planetary defence force to kick the invaders out? Or will you flee the solar system in a desperate exodus? Maybe you believe the aliens are here to save us?
“The stars are cold, but the war for them is just heating up.”
Available now on Steam (Early Access). If you love The Expanse or XCOM, this is your next obsession. Find out more here – https://epic.gm/terra-invicta
Game Smithing Limited has officially announced their next project: Veil of the Soulstones! Born from a game jam prototype, this title trades the frantic chaos of Soulstone Survivors for a more tactical, atmospheric RPG experience.

Planned for 2026. Is your squad ready to brave the Veil?

If you’re looking for a game that challenges your brain as much as your reflexes, INDIKA is it. It’s a surreal, cinematic journey that explores faith, madness, and the thin line between good and evil.
The art direction is hauntingly beautiful, the puzzles are clever, and the story… well, it’s unlike anything I’ve played recently. It’s dark, biting, and surprisingly funny in a very grim way.
Key vibes:
Alternative 19th-century Russia
Psychological depth
Stunning, bleak landscapes
A healthy dose of religious satire
Have you played this yet? Or are you still avoiding the voices in your head?
If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a blank screen, lost in the white noise of a busy cafe or the deafening silence of a lonely room, you know that productivity is often about vibe as much as it is about willpower.
Enter Chill with You: Lo-Fi Story, a “sound novel” and productivity tool that has quietly become a Steam sensation since its release in November 2025. It’s more than just a game; it’s a shared digital sanctuary.
What is Chill with You?
Developed by Nestopi Inc., this title blends the utility of a focus app with the emotional depth of a visual novel. You play as someone working at a desk alongside Satone, a soft-spoken girl who is deep in her own world, writing her own stories.
As you focus on your real-world tasks—be it studying, coding, or writing—Satone works beside you. It’s a “co-working” experience that turns the often-isolating grind of productivity into something warm and communal.
Key Features for the Modern Focused Mind
The game isn’t just a pretty face; it’s packed with tools designed to actually help you get things done:
Customizable Soundscapes: Mix and match high-quality Lo-Fi tracks with ambient nature sounds like gentle rain, rustling wind, or even the hum of an air conditioner.
Built-in Productivity Tools: It features a Pomodoro timer, a To-Do list, and a Calendar planner, all integrated into a sleek, non-intrusive UI.
The Bonding System: During your breaks, you can interact with Satone. As you spend more hours working “together,” she begins to open up, sharing her feelings and stories, eventually deepening your connection.
Steam Deck Ready: It’s fully optimised for the Steam Deck, making it a perfect companion for focused sessions at a library or coffee shop.
Why It’s Buzzing Right Now
The game recently hit a major milestone, being named a finalist for the “Sit Back and Relax” category in the 2025 Steam Awards. To celebrate, the developers have launched a collaboration with the indie hit Bear’s Restaurant, adding new music and special dialogue.
Pro Tip: If you’re looking for a reason to jump in now, the developers are currently releasing 10 new BGM tracks throughout the Steam Awards voting period (ending early January 2026)!
The Verdict: Is it for you?
If you’re a fan of Virtual Cottage or Chill Corner, or if you simply find yourself looping “Lofi Girl” on YouTube for hours, Chill with You: Lo-Fi Story is an essential upgrade. It provides that same comforting atmosphere but adds a layer of human (or digital-human) connection that makes the work feel a little lighter.

Hey, racing fans and city builders! Today, we’re taking a pit stop to talk about a game that’s been making waves in the mobile gaming world: Sprint City. If you haven’t heard of it, imagine the adrenaline rush of high-speed racing blended with the strategic satisfaction of city management. Intrigued? Let’s dive in!
What is Sprint City?
At its core, Sprint City is a unique hybrid that tasks players with two main objectives: building and managing a thriving metropolis, and then racing through its streets in exhilarating competitions. It’s not just about winning races; it’s about building the infrastructure that enables those races, and then benefiting from the success of your city.
The City Building Aspect: More Than Just Scenery
Unlike many racing games where the environment is just a backdrop, in Sprint City, your city is a living, breathing entity that directly impacts your racing experience. You’ll start with a small plot of land and gradually expand, constructing various buildings:
Residential zones: Attract citizens, increase your population and provide a tax base.
Commercial zones: Generate income and unlock new racing opportunities.
Industrial zones: Produce resources needed for upgrades and further construction.
Special buildings: Unlock unique cars, parts, or provide significant buffs to your racing performance or city economy.
But it’s not just about placing buildings willy-nilly. Strategic placement matters! You’ll need to think about traffic flow, resource management, and how your city’s layout can give you an edge in races. Want to build a shortcut through a new commercial district? Go for it! This level of control is incredibly satisfying.
Here’s a glimpse of a bustling Sprint City, thriving with activity:
The Racing Experience: Speed and Strategy
Once your city starts to take shape, it’s time to hit the streets! Sprint City’s racing mechanics are surprisingly deep for a mobile title. You’ll engage in various race types, from quick sprints to longer, more technical circuits.
Car Customisation: Earn money and resources from your city to upgrade your vehicles. Engine, tyres, aerodynamics – every component can be tweaked to maximise your performance. There’s a wide array of cars to unlock, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
Track Design: The tracks themselves are your city streets! This means you’ll be racing past landmarks you’ve built, navigating corners you’ve designed, and utilising shortcuts you’ve strategically placed. This dynamic relationship between city building and racing is where Sprint City truly shines.
Competitive Multiplayer: Test your skills against other players in real-time PvP races. Climb the leaderboards and prove your city has the fastest drivers!
Imagine zooming through a meticulously planned urban landscape
The world of Solasta is expanding, and with Solasta: Crown of the Magister II now in Early Access, fans of tactical turn-based RPGs have a lot to be excited about. As a spiritual successor that builds upon the solid foundation of its predecessor, Solasta II promises deeper mechanics, a more expansive world, and even more challenging encounters. Let’s dive into what makes this Early Access release worth checking out.
What’s New and Improved?
Right off the bat, players will notice a significant evolution in both presentation and gameplay. The developers have clearly listened to community feedback, and it shows in several key areas:
Enhanced Graphics and Environments
While Solasta: Crown of the Magister was praised for its tactical depth, some found its visual presentation a little rough around the edges. Solasta II makes noticeable strides here. Environments feel richer, character models are more detailed, and the spell effects are even more dazzling. Exploring ancient ruins or traversing the wilds of the Badlands feels more immersive than ever.

Here is a bit of horror for single and co-op players on either PC or for VR players who are looking to get right inside the Niktophobia game. The game takes place on a space station and you are part of a biological and chemical threat prevention team who are on a mission to find alien life and collect alien bio-samples in order for researchers to undergo further analysis. This is one of those that is both exciting and slightly scary all at the same time. The Niktophobia game will be released sometime in early 2025.
