Six One Indie Showcase Games Featuring Animal Characters:

Embody a disgraced Egyptian god of chaos, grab a shotgun, crossbow, or rocket launcher, and wreak havoc on a legion of Apophis’s evil-doers in this short but well-done boomer shooter roguelite by newcomer developer Chaotic Games. When you pick up a game like Seth, you’re hoping for a tightly-executed gunplay experience paired with a growing set of challenges that reward learning how to best take advantage of your combat options, along with the roguelite element encouraging additional playthroughs. Seth executes the gameplay aspect quite well, but left me wanting more in regards to content after finishing my first couple runs. That’s a credit to how fun blasting through the rounds of enemies was in the dark, techy Egyptian surroundings the game takes place in.

Nintendo premiered a surprise "Star Fox Direct" presentation today to show off the new remade Star Fox game that will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on June 25, 2026 for $49.99 digitally, TBA physically. Here's the full video, along with the new release detailing the specifics of the remake.

Here's the full news release from Nintendo about the new game:

HarlowPuppy is joining the voice cast of Gold Gold Adventure Gold as the Beast Tamer hero! She is a talented voice actor bringing a feisty & spicy flair to our Beast Tamer hero, a hero that can tame wild monsters and get enemies to fight on your side all while mouthing off wielding a thorned vine whip.

HarlowPuppy is furry creator with 47k Tiktok Followers, 28k Twitter Followers respectfully, most known for the viral "Meeting a Furry for the first time" clip, in which she does ASL sign language to greet the person meeting her. 

We here at Gaming Furever are excited to see her embody the new hero in Gold Gold Adventure Gold, which launches into 1.0 out of Early Access on May 15th! We'll be sure to give our thoughts on the full release, but you can get in on the action now by checking out the game on the Steam store today.

Adorable Adventures only needed one static image to pull me in. That picture of a baby boar, sitting there wide-eyed and ready for adventure had me hook line and sinker. Upon further digging, what sat behind that big snoot of his was a gaming experience like no other, and one that shows what a little precious idea can become with time, love, and a developer that doesn’t leave any part of the playing experience unpolished. What starts off as a simple gathering quest quickly becomes one fantastically pleasing romp through an amazing nature wonderland.

Furry & Animal Steam Game Finds:

These games were found in the New Releases section of Steam this week and will be updated as more come out throughout the week!

No Stone Unturned is hard to describe, but I’ll try my darndest to by saying it’s a comedic dialogue-fueled fever dream filled with a variety of minigames, chase sequences, and adventurous sleuthing by one very confident squirrel with a case of amnesia to overcome and a case of murder to solve. Your job as Detective Cox is to try and find out what the heck happened to you and a slain chicken you come upon right after waking up outside. Alone and confused, you set off on a search for answers. Developers Wise Monkey Ent. Ltd. have employed some fantastic writers and artists for this project, as I found myself absolutely delighted throughout my playtime, as the whip-smart humor, incredibly creative minigames, and avant garde mish-mash of art styles never left me bored, and always kept things entertaining.

If you’re a millenial, like me, or have a thing for experiences and games that give a dose of nostalgia, like me, then you’re probably at least aware of the existence of Neopets as a brand. Founded in 1999, Neopets has served as a hub for kids and kids at heart to adopt, care for, feed, and adventure with colorful creatures. Primarily based online at the Neopets website, users have for years been able to play a plethora of minigames to earn points, get items on the site, and achieve high scores. Finally, after all that time, the Neopets - Mega Mini Games Collection - The Neopian Arcade Odyssey makes playing those games outside of the website, and even on the go through the Steamdeck system, possible. Overall, 26 classic, retro-inspired mini games were recreated within Unity for this collection. Was the foray beyond the walls of the Neopets website worth it after all these years? Unfortunately, I believe it’s only for the hardest of hardcore Neopets enthusiasts who want to earn Neopoints on the go, or those who don’t mind pushing through a way-too-buggy experience just to scratch that Neopets nostalgia itch.

We like cute things around here. So when we have the opportunity to start a community of precious animal cuties along the bottom of our screen, we take it. That’s what we got from Cozy Sanctuary, a new casual desktop idle “farm” management game that lets you keep a flock of furry friends happy along the edge of your taskbar with light farming, cleaning, and maintenance tasks to help you grow and populate your precious farm of animals.
