Indie hit Megabonk came out of nowhere and has suddenly hit the 1 million copies sold mark in just two weeks.

Between the likes of REPO, Schedule 1, and Peak, I think calling 2025 the year of the surprise indie would be an extremely fair assessment. And considering September had two of the biggest indie releases of all time with Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong – the latter of which caused a number of indies to delay their release dates to avoid – I figured we wouldn't have much left in terms of surprises with those two being the center of attention.

They add that they "really appreciate all the great feedback. There are definitely a lot of things I wanna fix and change," noting that they plan to "get a roadmap created or something." Vedinad continues, saying "Im just a bit overwhelmed and tired atm, so I think I will take a few days break," but the updates should come shortly after.

I had actually never heard of this game until I started writing this, and now I feel like I'm cursed because I can see myself sinking hours into it thanks to that damn sunglasses-wearing chimp.

Digimon Story Stranger Time has no trouble plugging the Pokemon Legends Z-A hole on PC, as it beats the last JRPG's Steam record 32 times over and lands 'Very Positive' reviews.
