Women-Led Games Showcase: My Wishlist Is Collapsing Under This Weight


We haven’t even hit the official kick off to Summer Game Fest and my poor Wishlist is already feeling the strain from so many amazing indie showcases. I hoped Women-Led Games’ summer celebration might go easy on me, but no such luck! From comforting to unsettling, the trailers in this showcase compelled me to add even more must-watch games to my list. Being the roguish fiend I am, I can’t resist tempting you to watch the full show so you can join me in this delightful problem. If that doesn’t work, I’ll leave some juicy bait for my trap below.
