As part of my writing with @somanygames.co.uk I was invited to collaborate with the awesome crew at @nosmallgames.bsky.social to express my love of fictional language and the way it helps to build communities. ๐

A group of people are wearing different uniforms. To the left is a man dressed similar to a magician and attempting to use mind powers. The person in the right is dressed as a ninja and is posed ready to fight. The person in the middle is wearing a jacket and jeans and is holding a knive like weapon in his right hand. The following quote is included: "There's something familiar and comfortable in the way everything conforms to the standards of a good stealth game."
Lead an unlikely team of commando scientists behind enemy lines to fight Nazis, uncover arcane mysteries, and wield experimental technology to turn the tide of WWII in this real-time tactical stealth adventure.

I made a mistake, and I would rather admit I am wrong than assume I am right.
A huge apology to the OnlyCans team for this - I'll try to be better in future and learn from it!
Hi, thanks for bringing this to our attention! While we were made aware that the collective for Polyarmory was Scope Creeps, I wrongly attributed OnlyCans and have asked the editor to update the article accordingly.
I'd much rather do things right, so the feedback is really appreciated :)
I don't know what album my cats are starring in, but this cover art would definitely make be buy it!

It won't surprise you to hear that I really enjoyed this:
The main character of the game which looks like some one from an anime is doing a flaming kick into the screen. The following quote from the game is also included: โI wish I could feel engaged in every part of the game, but there's only so many times I can punch a crab before I'm experiencing crustacean frustration.โ
Unleash custom attacks by combining words, befriend your rivals, uncover dark mysteries, and seek out the pieces of the Wanderstar map in this Super! Anime! Turn-Based! RPG!

I also didn't realise that he studied ethics, specialising in cognitive science and addiction, but I suppose it makes sense given how hard it is to put stuff like Getting Over It down!
Wanderstars made me want to rewatch a bunch of 80s and 90s anime, which is probably the highest praise I can give it. My review for @somanygames.co.uk :

Reading Jason's thoughts on this was great, because it reminded me that Bennett Foddy only makes games that infuriate people in the best possible way.
Frostpunk 2 is pretty good on its own, which is why its so disappointing to see a bad port and some mediocre UI ruin the experience.
You could just plug Draknek puzzle games directly into my veins and I would be happy. Always delightful!
I wanted to love this game and I had a brillaint time playing it, but the need to log in with an online account for an offline single player game was definitely a huge negative!
In a surprise to nobody, my most anticipated game of the year is a solid banger.
I like big bots, and I cannot lie!
Watto? No.
Hotto? Also no, but at least they are trying something new. ๐
Great illustration though!

I say the word "smooch" more than you'd expect in this one...
Chamomile tea is great, but holy moly I wish it didnt take TEN MINUTES to steep.
Who could have expected a game about sorting shapes to go this hard? An absolute joy.
