VGChartz's Evan Norris: "One of the best parts of any year is surveying the indie game landscape and finding those hidden gems and sleeper hits. For 2023, the voters zeroed in on the following five: Blasphemous 2, which elaborated on the grim action-adventure foundation of its predecessor; Cocoon, which captured the hearts of gamers with its mind-bending puzzles; Dredge, which deftly merged Lovecraftian horror with fishing simulation; Sea of Stars, which excelled in presentation and turn-based RPG mechanics; and, finally, Trine 5, which delivered the same rewarding puzzle-platforming gameplay that has defined the series for two generations."
"iam8bit and Sabotage Studio are thrilled to announce that the highly anticipated Sea of Stars retail edition physical release is now available at retailers across Europe for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series S/X and Nintendo Switch." - iam8bit and Sabotage Studio.
DREDGE is a fishing adventure game that piles on the creepiness and fun.
