Indie Gaming Utsav shows the growth of development in an up-and-coming region

Utsav is the Sanskrit/Hindi term for celebration, and also the term that Avichal Singh and Akshat Rathee have decided should apply to India's indie gaming scene. As a developer, Singh understands the challenges of producing and selling an indie game in India: the co-founder of Nodding Heads Games achieved a rare breakout hit in 2020 with Raji: An Ancient Epic. From there, in 2021 he began working with Rathee on a Steam festival showcasing Indian games. But with Rathee as CEO of Nodwin Gaming, an esports company that acquired Comic Con India in 2024, there was scope to do more. “A few months ago, I texted Akshat,” Singh says. “'Hey, I want to benefit indies - bring all of them under one umbrella'. Akshat said, 'Let's get into Comic Con', and we never looked back.”

Possessor(s)

After three rounds of layoffs this year and Hyper Light Breaker’s curtailed development in early access, a lot seems to rest for Heart Machine on this plucky Metroidvania side project. The studio has an obvious knack for conjuring up fascinating fantasy worlds, but since its compact debut, Hyper Light Drifter, it’s been less obvious whether it can manage projects of a larger scale. And perhaps, on that count, even the modest Possessor(s) isn’t quite modest enough — it feels as much a victim of the company’s production woes as a showcase for its creative talent.

Street Fighter 6

Superstition might suggest that even numbers are more auspicious for the series, but it's fairer to say that Capcom learned from the mistakes of Street Fighter V and launched a fighting game that doesn't just feel like a full package, but one that has foundations to build on in future updates.

The Outer Worlds 2

There's always a risk in imitating something regarded as a classic: if it offers a template for success, it could just as easily invite unfavourable comparison. Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas has gained that reputation in the 15 years since its release, and while the original The Outer Worlds, led by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, referenced that series without aping it, the sequel zeroes in on New Vegas as its direct source of inspiration. This explains both why The Outer Worlds 2 is a success and why it can't quite stand tall as a creation with its own identity.
