Big Walk, retro electronic repairs and other new indie games worth checking out

Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. As ever, we'll highlight a bunch of new games you can jump into this weekend, and share some updates on games you can check out in the weeks and months to come.

If you've been waiting for a bargain on certain older titles, though, you're in luck. There are several Steam sale events taking place at the minute. One of those is Steam Cyberpunk Fest , which runs until August 10 at 1PM ET.

Naturally, Cyberpunk 2077 — which can be considered an indie game — is on sale for 70 percent off. An ultimate edition that includes the Phantom Liberty expansion is 60 percent off. There are deals on lots of other games, such as the acclaimed RoboCop: Rogue City (90 percent off), Ninja Gaiden 4 (40 percent off), Routine (30 percent off), Ghostrunner (75 percent off) and Ghostrunner 2 (80 percent off). Cyberpunk Fest includes some demos too.

Publisher Kitfox Games is also running a sale until August 10. Boyfriend Dungeon is 70 percent off, the super-charming Pupperazzi is 60 percent off and Caves of Qud (which is also part of the Cyberpunk Fest) is 20 percent off. In addition, there's the Wholesome Games Celebration , which runs until August 13. Discounts here include 30 percent off Is This Seat Taken — which hit PS5 just this week — and 25 percent off Tiny Bookshop .

In last week's edition of this roundup, I mentioned Turnip Mountain , a climbing game that you can control with two mice, one for each hand. It was a multiplatform release that included a Nintendo Switch version. I thought it was odd that there was no Switch 2 variant, since the dual mouse control seemed like a great fit for the system, given you can use each Joy-Con 2 controller as a mouse.

As it turns out, publisher JandoSoft told Engadget that the original plan was to release a Switch 2 version, but Nintendo didn't approve it. "We tried for several months, but we couldn't delay the release any longer," the publisher said. "If enough people want it, we'll definitely try again and see if we can make a Switch 2 Edition happen."

I have one last note before we dig into this week's new releases. Overcooked just celebrated its 10th anniversary with news that the series now has more than 100 million players. Developer Ghost Town Games is working on a creepy-ish co-op game called Stage Fright . I'm looking forward to that. But, goodness, would I love to have more Overcooked too.
