Monster Train 2 DLC - Destiny of the Railforged Xbox Series X Review 8/10 "Keeping it Rail" 🚂 @TheMonsterTrain #IndieGame #GameDev

The first paid DLC for Monster Train 2 has arrived at the station. The lauded sequel itself only came out in May of last year, and in late 2025 we were blessed with a host of new additions through the ‘Echoes From the Void’ update. Now, only a few months later, we have another, more substantial offering to expand the network in a way that shows HS2 how it’s done (Google it, non-UK people).

Monster Train, for the uninitiated, is a roguelike deck-building game. I won’t go into the mechanics too much as I cover a lot of it HERE. And I didn’t review the Void update, but essentially it offered a bit more of everything. We were furnished with new foes, new weapons and new variants of the Pyre (source of the player’s life and what your monsters protect) to up the ante and keep the train rolling.

Mindseye PS5 Review 4/10 [POST 2026 UPDATE 7] "Not quite as catastrophic as you might have heard" 👁️

Here are the first ten minutes of Mindseye.

After a slick cinematic establishing our hero, Jacob Diaz, you begin a new job at a sprawling military-tech corporation. Your superior takes you on a guided tour of the pristine facility in a small buggy, explaining the company’s grand ambitions.

You can absolutely floor this buggy and plough into every NPC in sight.

It’s like the parking garage in Dead Rising, bodies ragdolling across the place, your buggy skidding over their motionless corpses. No one meaningfully reacts to this. They don’t move out of the way, and aside from a few yelps they don't say anything.

At one point I flipped the vehicle completely. My boss, still seated beside me, calmly continued her monologue while Jacob nodded along, upside down, as if this were standard onboarding procedure.

This was the most fun I had playing Mindseye.

The Cabin Factory PS5 Review 9.5/10 "A beautifully designed bite-sized horror that’s a must play for fans of the genre" 🛖 @ICS_indie #IndieGame #GameDev

As long time readers will know, I’m a (blood) sucker for short horror games. I love settling down and knowing I’ll be watching the credits roll in an hour or two and will get a short blast of unsettling thrills. Combine that with the fact that The Cabin Factory costs less than half a pint of lager, and we are very much onto a winner.

I’m purposely not going into the game that much here as discovering it is where a lot of the fun lies, all you need to know is that this is a first-person 3D horror game in which you play an older lady that begins The Cabin Factory in a lift en route to the huge aeroplane hangar-like room in which she will be performing her job…checking if cabins that roll up on a conveyor belt are haunted or not. There are two buttons marked ‘danger’ and ‘clear’, and if you get eight cabins correct on the trot – you finish the game, it really is that simple.
