A new adventure begins! @squirrelbyte.bsky.social was a fantastic learning experience for me, but there was something missing about its tone and brand identity. This is why I @ricastroper.bsky.social, its solo creator and author, have built and launched @lostmanreviews.bsky.social.

After several price increases for consoles, games and subscription services over the last few years, the recent reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2's MSRP is generating waves of protests from consumers on social media.

We're eager to jump back into Pacific Drive and check out the additions and gameplay tweaks. Look out for coverage of the Endless Expeditions update in the future!

Lots of #games coming to the #Nintendo #Switch2 were announced during the console's #Direct event. These are the titles which caught our eye the most. #squirrelbyte

We finally got a closer look at the incoming Nintendo Switch 2 release on June 5, 2025 via today's Direct. It's mostly an iterative upgrade on the current console, but it's an OLED screen shy of a home run.

While we all foam at the mouth with anticipation of the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, why not revisit some all-time #indiedev classics on the current console? 🎮

The day we've all been waiting for is coming - the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is upon us! Join us in anticipation of a deeper look at what will probably be the world's next best-selling console.

#Music is an essential component of the video #game medium, and these are just some of my favourite ever original soundtracks available to #stream right now. #soundtrack #squirrelbyte

We're probably about to break our "not buying more games" rule with these kinds of sales. 👀

Finding the world too stressful and looking to take a break from reality? If you enjoy driving and/ or checking off objectives to your heart's content, you should play Snowrunner. #snowrunner #squirrelbyte #gamereview

The #Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro X Limited Edition refreshed an audiophile icon with new features and cosmetic upgrades, but can they surpass the classics? Find out in our full review below. #audiophile #headphones #review #squirrelbyte

Reasons we didn't need a PS5 Pro this gen: this game is from 2017. #NierAutomata

@teamcherry.bsky.social's #HollowKnight had been an unacceptable absence in my gaming pedigree for years. When I dove in to fix that last year, I had no idea of the scale the experience would take. squirrelbytereviews.wordpress.com/2025/01/20/o...

Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of games gathering dust in your library? It's time to do something about it and regain control of your time management. I set out to do just that with a little inspiration from YouTube channel Daryl Talks Games. 🎮🕹️

Throwing it back to the first ever article published on squirrelbytereviews.wordpress.com - after years of banging my head against Dark Souls 3's difficulty curve, I regrouped and went on an unexpected mental journey. This is how it went.

@ironwood.bsky.social's Pacific Drive was already a great #indiedev game, but a meaty new update in April may just make it that bit sweeter. #indiegame #indie #survival #squirrelbyte #gamenews

I have to say, Nier Automata didn't grip me when I first played it years ago due to the mostly empty spaces. I just started a fresh playthrough and this time it's coming together much better, partly thanks to the Japanese VO. Excited to finally see why this is such a community darling.

Writing a review on the Silent Hill 2 remake while listening to the original's OST sure is an experience in itself.

Booted up Nier Automata and the Dualsense lights up with the exact tone of the start screen. Lovely little detail right there.

Let's hear Bluesky's #indiedev #horror games recommendations. 2D, side scrollers, retro art styles, all platforms. What did you enjoy playing the most? 🎮

Some amazing #indiedev game deals are live right now on the EU Nintendo Eshop, including several lowest prices ever. Will you be picking anything up this time?

About to drop into my first modern @monsterhunter.capcomusa.com experience with World on PS5. I suspect I'll be doing some note taking

I don't remember the last time I felt this exhausted after finishing a game. Silent Hill 2 was an unforgettable, but DRAINING experience from beginning to end. Please give yourself a break if you struggle with this kind of video game! Review will be out soon on squirrelbyteblog.wordpress.com 🎮

What is Bluesky playing this weekend? 🎮

UNDERTALE is on sale for $1. If you're a bluesky user who hasn't played this game - now is the best time to join the other 99% of people on this website and pick it up. store.steampowered.com/app/391540/U...

Get your washers out, boys and girls 💦💦💦

Now that we can post videos longer than 30's I can post the full console launch trailer!!! Sorry We're Closed is available now on Switch, PS4/5, Xbox X/S and Steam - with physicals to come! We're really happy with all the support we've received! Reposts help indie devs in so many many many ways <3

Horror games are one of the best ways for audio enthusiasts to make the most of their gear when playing. 🎮🎧 How important is audio for your personal enjoyment of video games? Do you play with headphones on or not? Have you considered trying studio grade gear?
