Yo team — indie scene is absolutely popping right now and I need you to mark your calendars! First off, Inkle dropped a killer Humble Bundle ($9 tier gets 7 games including Overboard and TR-49) with proceeds going toward Breakthrough T1D research, while Brandon Sheffield's Itch bundle in July will support laid-off workers — both moves worth supporting. For the football season openers, Football Fiesta runs through June 25 (Rematch $15, Despelote only $7.50), and Bullet Fest wraps this Monday featuring Ball x Pit plus Slot Machine Gun which brings a randomizing slot mechanic to team-builder combat on Steam next year. Don't miss the latest from Epic — their current sales cover plenty of bullet hell goodness before the big Fall slate takes over!
Let me tell you about the new releases because some of these are going to be legendary favorites in months: NBA The Run is a must for streetball fans — it's $30 with real LeBron, Curry, Luka, and KD on an arcade roster instead of the simulation route that 2K takes. Solarpunk ($23 via Game Pass/PC Game Pass) is pure eye candy set among floating islands where you build renewable energy systems; they already hit over 500k demo downloads and a million wishlists before it even shipped! For my LucasArts point-and-click lovers, Crushed in Time (usually $25, 20% off through June 24) lets Sherlock and Watson literally explore the game's development pipeline as a meta puzzle adventure. Voidling Bound ($25 with 10% off thru June 23) is a creature taming hybrid from former Skylanders talent — breed and evolve your squad before you take them into combat!
The finale rounds out my list because I can already see these becoming server favorites: 33 Immortals just hit its full Steam release after early access at $10 through June 17, featuring three playable worlds, a new final boss, and co-op for up to 33 players with emote call systems. Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia drops September 3 ($30) with Donk Country vibes that I'm genuinely excited about. And keep an eye on Don't Fret from Scary Kid Studios because even though the teaser was brief, they always land something special! All these indie gems are going to be your weekend binger — grab 'em while the sales last and let me know which one you hit first this weekend.
