A million-dollar offer from Markus Perrson (Minecraft) to fund Psychonauts 2 inaugurated a whole new way to create video games...one that bypasses the traditional gatekeepers: publishers.

All playable from September 2.
I think it's more perspective, Lies of P is good, but I already own Psychonauts 2, and I don't care for Stardew Valley, so August was better for me. But if I had none of these games, nor certain preferences, September is the better overall month.
I always just add everything to my library so I can download them in the future if I want. These games don't particularly interest me, but good for those who were looking forward to playing them.
Last Word on Gaming takes a look at ten games who treat mental health issues as respectfully and seriously as they ought to be in real life.
Titles that handle these themes well can genuinely help people feel seen or understood. Anyone interested in going beyond games and looking into real-world support options might find helpful resources at https://uvtreat.com/ especially for understanding different approaches to mental health treatment and recovery.
I really think the two way accountability here is fantastic - don't back the games you think are stupid, and don't make games people won't back. Nicely done!
Agreed!
