Welcome to Digitally Downloaded’s weekly catch-up news feature, the catch-up coffee. I will bring you the best news you may have missed with each issue. Grab the biggest mug you’ve got, fill it with your favourite brew, and catch up with us (and our favourite news anchor, Dee Dee)!…
I don’t entirely understand newly announced FMV game Blippo+ is, but I don’t think I’m meant to. Either way, it doesn’t matter: I’m fully invested. In my mind, I’m already throwing every cent I have at Panic. Who needs to do things like pay a mortgage or feed a family…
When it comes to showing off unique games, no showcase can top…
When someone asks me about my favourite games, whether in recent memory…
Well, the week is over. All the showcases have happened. So many games have gone in my head then right back out, as something else needed to take its place. However, there are definitely standouts from each showcase, which I’ve compiled here along with screenshots, trailers, and links to the…

Our second and final recap of the day is for the PC Gaming Show. It’s shown Sam Barlow titles in the past so I’m really hoping to see more Immortality, even if we did see a good amount of it during the Tribeca Games Spotlight. One thing I know for…

It’s time for one of the bigger (by that I just mean more popular, not necessarily “best”) showcases of the week! Expect some big blockbusters to show up here, including previously-announced games as well as brand new ones. Fingers crossed that ID@Xbox shows up so we aren’t drowning in space…

Are you still with me? This is the fourth of the four showcases spanning five hours, and if you’ve been watching or even reading along I’m willing to bet your brain is also swimming with new information that will swim right back out again soon. Not-E3 can be really overwhelming,…

I’m not entirely sure what to expect of the Future of Play Direct, and I like that. It’s being held by Glitch, a creator-led movement bringing bold new forms of play. It seems likely that we’ll see some really innovative things, and hopefully some games that are also just plain…

Anytime there’s a Wholesome Direct, I’ll basically drop everything to watch. I’ve never encountered a showcase so likely to illicit an “awwwww” response so many times! I’m a little bit in the dark about what to expect this year… except Ooblets. I 100% expect Ooblets to be featured, as the…

It’s time for Guerrilla Collective’s third annual showcase! There’s so many games to talk about this is actually just the first part – Guerrilla Collective 3.5 will happen a couple of days from now. From its Steam page, we can already gather what games will be talked about across these…

Today’s second and final recap is Freedom Games. It has published (and will publish) many titles I’ve been interested in, and I’m exciting to see what’s to come. Freedom Games is relatively new; it was founded in 2020 and built on the notion of partnership. Its published games include To…

It’s time for our last recap of the day, Devolver Digital. I honestly have no idea what to expect with this one, as Devolver has had some whacky, subversive showcases in the past. Limited Run Games tried and failed to have a narrative this year, so we’ll see if Devolver…

Day of the Devs is a recap I’ve added to my (long) list at the last minute; I somehow missed its announcement. Day of the Devs is from two companies I respect quite a bit, Double Fine and iam8bit. This is it’s tenth anniversary, so happy birthday to yoooou! What…
