Leans Action (fast and physical), rates fairly, rarely finishes, and has a soft spot for Valve.

weirdly fun sim-style challenge
I received Extreme Forklifting 3 from DEVM Games, the developer, and it turned out to be a quirky little Steam game that takes a simple idea and turns it into something surprisingly entertaining. It leans into forklift driving, awkward physics, and a bit of controlled chaos, which gives it a lot more personality than you might expect from a game with this premise. What I liked most is that it knows exactly what kind of game it is. It doesn’t try to be a huge cinematic experience or overcomplicate things — it just gives you a weirdly fun sim-style challenge and lets the gameplay speak for itself. That makes it easy to appreciate if you enjoy unusual indie games with a sense of humor and a bit of jank in the mix. If you’re into oddball simulation games, or just want something different from the usual Steam fare, Extreme Forklifting 3 is worth checking out.

A brutal, gritty urban action immersive experience
Samson is a solo indie game that puts you into a story-driven experience where you really feel like the main character. What stood out to me most was how centered it felt around your character’s journey, which gave it a strong and personal vibe while playing alone. NOTE: I did get it free fro mthe publisher /developer. One thing I especially liked was how naturally my character’s semi-long hair flowed during movement. It added a lot to the presentation and made the character feel more alive and cinematic. It may have been helped by some of the NVIDIA RTX features, but either way, it looked great and added to the overall immersion. As a solo game, that made it more engaging for me. It felt less like just moving through gameplay systems and more like following a character-led experience that keeps you involved from start to finish. That sense of being the person the camera follows gave the game a lot of identity. The game has a clear indie style and a strong sense of direction, which I appreciated. It doesn’t feel generic, and that helped make it memorable. If you enjoy solo games with personality and a strong focus on the player’s journey, Samson is worth checking out.
