📋 TheBigBois.com participated in the pre-launch playtest for Thick As Thieves and submitted official feedback to OtherSide Entertainment ahead of the May 20, 2026 release. This review reflects the launch version of the game, including Day 1 patches. Thick As Thieves is a stealth heist game from OtherSide Entertainment — the studio headed by Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Thief: Deadly Shadows) and Paul Neurath (Thief: The Dark Project) — that launched on May 20, 2026 for $4.99. That price point is almost everything you need to know before making a purchase decision. At $5, the game is an easy recommendation…

Esoteric Ebb is the most surprising CRPG of 2026 — a solo-developed isometric RPG from Christoffer Bodegård, published by Raw Fury, that begins as an obvious Disco Elysium heir and gradually becomes something distinctly and genuinely its own. By the end you’re not thinking about Disco Elysium at all. You’re thinking about Ragn Hemlin, The Cleric, a glorified government functionary who woke up in a morgue with half a river in his boots, and the bizarre, warm, philosophically rich city of Norvik that somehow made you care deeply about an election in a fantasy world. The Disco Elysium comparison is…

Blades of Fire is the kind of game that earns genuine admiration even when it frustrates you. Developed by MercurySteam — the studio behind Metroid Dread and the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series — and published by 505 Games, this dark fantasy action-adventure is now available on Steam with a substantial Version 2.0 overhaul that adds New Game Plus, a new Titanium difficulty tier, Boss Revival Mode, and significantly more. The result is the most complete version of an already ambitious game, arriving at a moment when the studio needs a win more than ever. At its best, Blades of…

Dark Pals: The 1st Floor is the mascot horror game that makes you stop and ask: wait, why is this actually good? In a genre flooded with Poppy Playtime clones scrambling for YouTube engagement, Skunx Games has done something genuinely unexpected — they’ve built a mascot horror experience with a distinct visual identity, a genuinely great original soundtrack, clever puzzle design, and enough charm to make you feel weirdly attached to creatures that are actively trying to kill you. At $6.70 — a price that is almost certainly intentional — Dark Pals: The 1st Floor is also one of the…

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is the BSG game that fans have quietly been waiting for since FTL proved the licence was always destined to live in a roguelite. Developer Alt Shift — the team behind Crying Suns — and publisher Dotemu have delivered a survival fleet-management roguelite that doesn’t just wear the Battlestar Galactica name as a coat of paint. It genuinely understands what the show was about: impossible odds, limited resources, hard choices, and the constant feeling that everything is about to fall apart. For BSG fans and strategy roguelite veterans alike, Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is one of…
