Rob’s pick: I thoroughly enjoyed Kamotachi’s KinnikuNeko: SUPER MUSCLE CAT when it came to Steam last year. A main character with cartoonish cat head on a realistically-drawn body-builder frame is just one of the delightfully quirky ideas I find endearing. Luckly, MUSCLE CAT backs up the amusing premise with a thoroughly enjoyable platformer where you’re switching forms to navigate each stage. From its catchy opening theme song, rhythm-game interludes, to the comical dialog, there’s a lot of fun to be had.

Nintendo’s curation makes it difficult to find the occasional indie gem among a vasty ocean of AI slop, asset flips, and slipshod mobile ports. A discounted price encouraged me to take a chance on the original Apple Knight. Although it’s an adaptation of an Android/iOS title, it was a surprisingly fun, retro-style action platformer. As such, I’m looking forward to the sequel. Finally, Trap Yuri Garden sends players to the dense world of the Ayanohara Academy, where posh cross-dressing students form yuri-esque romances, obfuscating a ton of societal norms in the process.

Ryan’s pick: Full disclosure, I can’t remember the last baseball game I’ve played on a console. It may be Bases Loaded, which feels like a lifetime ago. This week goes to MLB The Show 25 for me as I really haven’t ever given this series a try and I think that baseball will be a bit more zen for me when compared to the Madden series. I think the player cards and other collectables will equally be pleasing to the collector part of my brain, so I am looking forward to giving the series a try.

It’s a bit of a unicorn week as I typically won’t mention even one sports game, let alone two. This said, my honorable mention this week goes to WWE 2K25. My wrestling game prowess isn’t slightly less lacking when compared to baseball, as I do have a few other more recent wrestling games than say Tecmo World Wrestling. Although, those animations where you’d swing the opponent character from their feet were pretty hilarious… Skipping a console generation or two I really enjoyed WCW/nWo Revenge on the N64, especially when characters would get so beat up that they’d just lie on the ground outside the ring for like 30 seconds before getting up  It’s been a while, so I fear I will be a newborn fawn when it comes to approaching a current-gen wrestling game, but I’m always up for a challenge.

Matt S’ pick (editor, DigitallyDownloaded): My main pick this week is an indie visual novel that has really taken off. The Hungry Lamb has surpassed one million sales on Steam, and now it’s on Switch. If you didn’t play it there, you really should play it here, because it is one of the most provocative and intelligent VNs I’ve ever played (even if the localisation could have been somewhat better). But do be aware. This story really does push boundaries. Here’s the content warning for your reading pleasure: Combat, weapon imagery, bones/bones, derogatory language, excruciating pain, criminal behavior, bleeding, violent behavior, accidental death, bodily injury, corpses, violent depictions, suicide, including partial nudity, depiction of sexual violence (rape, abuse), and alcohol consumption without any bloody or bloody scenes.

It’s art. It’s not gratuitous in any way. But it is boundary-pushing and uncomfortable at times. As good art should be.

I do have a love-hate relationship with MLB The Show. On the one hand, I really don’t like the focus on those damn cards, the fact the series has never offered other leagues or international competition, and I do prefer the way that Konami’s Pro Baseball Spirits plays. On the other hand, I end up putting dozens and dozens of hours into MLB The Show anyway. So, I expect I’ll get hooked all over again with this year’s edition.
