The 10th edition of Lollapalooza Berlin took place on July 12 and 13, 2025, transforming the iconic Olympiastadion and Olympiapark into a vibrant epicenter of music, culture, and community. With exceptional organization, a diverse artist lineup, and an impressive infrastructure, the event exceeded expectations on every level. Smooth Entry and Flawless Logistics One of the most praised aspects of this year’s festival was the efficient entry process.

Transportation options were clearly marked, with nearby public transit, shuttle services, and bicycle-friendly…

Welcome to Your Weekend in Weirdsville What starts as a chill weekend job tending a peaceful garden in the Dutch countryside turns into a surreal descent into mystery, horror, and absurdity. Grunn, developed by Sokpop Collective and Tom van den Boogaart, is a cozy yet creepy gardening simulator that hides an unnerving core beneath its perfectly trimmed hedges. Think PowerWash Simulator meets Twin Peaks by way of Outer Wilds, with a splash of Kentucky Route Zero for good measure. The Calm Before the Creep You begin the game as a contract gardener tasked with sprucing up an overgrown estate. Your…

You, a Bed, and Existential Dread Walk into a Room… On the surface, Date Everything! might look like a meme game. And it is. But it’s also an absurdly heartfelt, fully voice-acted sandbox dating simulator where you woo everyday household objects, and somehow come out emotionally bruised. You play as a recently unemployed arts major, handed a pair of magical glasses called “Dateviators” that allow you to interact with inanimate objects. Romance ensues. And yes, you can date your bed. Or your smoke alarm. Or a philosophical vacuum cleaner. But don’t be fooled by the premise: Date Everything! has surprising…

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is a full-bodied evolution of the beloved farming-meets-action RPG formula, this time set in a myth-infused, Eastern-inspired fantasy world wracked by ruin and mystery. Developed by Marvelous Inc. and released on June 4, 2025, this new chapter takes everything players love about Rune Factory—farming, friendships, dungeon diving, and romance—and threads it through a setting that blends folklore, elemental power, and village restoration into something that feels both familiar and freshly ambitious. The Collapse, The Awakening, and The Dance The game begins in the aftermath of a catastrophe known as the Celestial Collapse. A massive object…

White Knuckle, by Dark Machine Games and published by DreadXP, is a first-person roguelite speed-climbing game where survival isn’t about combat—it’s about stamina, resource management, and not letting go. You’re scaling a crumbling vertical hellscape while managing your tools, your grip, and your panic. It’s brutal, focused, and absolutely terrifying. You wake up 10,000 meters underground, pinned beneath megatons of rotting steel and silence. There’s no gun. No friends. No clear goal beyond this: climb. Higher. Faster. Smarter. Because something down here doesn’t want you getting out—and it’s catching up. 🧗 Momentum Meets Mortality This isn’t parkour. This is physics-based,…

Take Hades, smash it into Arthurian myth, throw in a full co-op mode, and you’ve got SWORN—a frenetic, rogue-lite action game developed by Windwalk Games and published by Team17. It’s a 1–4 player descent into a twisted version of Camelot where the Knights of the Round Table are no longer noble legends, but corrupted titans guarding the ruins of a fallen world. What makes SWORN hit harder than most Hades-likes isn’t just its visual flair or its cooperative chaos—it’s the sheer versatility in how you build your character and the moment-to-moment flow of its tightly tuned combat system. It’s an…
