Spotlight on Stunning Sequels and Indie Delights
The Day of the Devs this summer did not have its own separate event video, but that didn’t stop it from shining a spotlight on about twenty games, some of which already made waves at other June 2025 gaming events. Titles like ‘Ratatan’ and ‘Neverway’, the latter developed by Pedro Medeiros, were also featured in different showcases, indicating their broad appeal and anticipation. ‘Dossa Divas: One Last Meal’ continued from the team behind ‘Thirsty Suitors’, and was also seen at the Women-Led Games event. Additionally, ‘Moonlighter 2’ was back with Israel Mallén detailing new exciting features of the game by Digital Sun.
The Surprising Standouts
While many sequels and recurring names made their expected appearances, some games stood out unexpectedly. The follow-up to ‘Toem’ seems to be capturing hearts with its charm. Meanwhile, ‘Possessors’ might have been the highlight of any standard Devolver Digital event in another year, showcasing its unique appeal. However, these titles weren’t included in the top five of this edition. The game ‘Relooted’ came close, with its intriguing theme of reclaiming African art stolen from museums and private collections in the Global North.
