E3 2018 has come and gone and hosted many great games: however, some smaller indie titles might have been overshadowed by some of the bigger budget games seen on stage. Despite the huge amount of games announced during the event, we here at DualShockers have put together a convenient list of great indie games that

The Total War series garners a lot of respect from both PC and strategy game circles, though the historical side of the franchise has experienced a bit of stagnation in recent years. That’s why many Total War fans, including myself, were excited when Creative Assembly and SEGA unveiled Total War: Three Kingdoms, an entirely new
While Jake Hunter Detective is a long-running Japanese mystery adventure game series that has always interested me, I never actually got to try any of the titles out, mainly because several of them were never localized into English. That’s why I was excited to hear that Aksys Games was localizing Jake Hunter Detective Story: Ghost
Norse mythology has been making a comeback in pop culture over the last year. Rune’s Project Director Chris Rhinehart agrees, stating that “it’s great that people are getting exposed to more Norse mythology, whether that be through a game like God of War or a film like Thor: Ragnarok.” There’s a lot of neat lore
All the way back in 2015, I was surprised to see Lab Zero Games move on from an immensely enjoyable fighting game like Skullgirls to Indivisible, a Valkyrie Profile-inspired Metroidvania-RPG hybrid. I tried and had a lot of fun with the Prototype Demo back when Indivisible was crowdfunded on Indiegogo and was curious to see
This year at E3, DualShockers had the chance to check out several upcoming titles from European publisher Focus Home Interactive.

One of the more surprising PlayStation-related announcements from last week was Déraciné, a new adventure game for PlayStation VR by FromSoftware, who are best known for their work on the Dark Souls series. Today, an interview with Hidetaka Miyazaki of FromSoftware was posted on PlayStation Blog, where he reveals more about the game. During the interview,
Over the past year, Omega Force and Koei Tecmo have released both the massive crossover game Warriors All-Stars and the open world Dynasty Warriors 9. Unfortunately, neither of these titles were incredibly well-received. Following these experimental entries, this year’s Musou game, Warriors Orochi 4, is a more traditional crossover title. DualShockers tried out Warriors Orochi 4
Yasuhiro Wada, the creator of games like Harvest Moon and Happy Birthdays, is currently working on a new title called Little Dragons Café. While the game is skewed at a slightly younger audience, it is still balancing an interesting mix of restaurant management, exploring an open archipelago, and raising a dragon. This year at E3
Earlier this year at GDC, DualShockers had the chance to talk with Inti Creates President and CEO Takuya Aizu and Associate Producer and International Affairs Coordinator Matt Papa about then-upcoming lineup. In the time since then, Inti Creates released Gal*Gun 2 on Nintendo Switch, revealed and launched Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon to great success, and
With a trailer that included characters from Naruto, One Piece, and Dragon Ball Z, one of the most exciting and surprising announcements from Microsoft’s E3 2018 press conference was Jump Force.

One of the worst parts of living in New York City in June is being so far from the hustle and bustle of E3 [Editor’s Note: try living in Europe… – G]. Actually, the worst part of living in New York City in June might be the smell on the trains. Regardless of which is
