I buy games on sale a lot. Frequently, a game looks really neat but overpriced. I get a lot of games from bundles. And through those games, find others. Most recently, I found AfterImage from a bundle because im into metroidvanias. And looking that game up, read about other recommendations that are now on my wishlist.

For other games, Rock paper Shotgun is my preferred source. They give a lot of attention to indie games.

My son. I see him playing stuff when he has his laptop on the kitchen table.

Me: “What’s that?”

Him, knowing what I’m getting at: “Meh. It’s not very good. I’m probably going to return it. There’s no mods.”

“No mods” is probably his number one reason for giving up on games.

I check the new games section of the xbox store everynow and then. Besides that its word of mouth and advertisements.

“Hi it’s Josh from lets game it out, today we’re going to be breaking this new game the devs sent me”

I honestly try not to find out about new games because in Australia a coke habit would be cheaper and more fun.
