In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, the crew highlights the best indie games of 2026 so far. No, this isn't an exhaustive list, but after listening, you'll likely have several new video game recommendations to play. Highlights include The Mermaid Mask, Into The Grid, Super Battle Golf, and Helix: Descent N Ascent. Are there a couple of games that are technically not indie on this list? Yes, but they embody the spirit of small games made by smaller teams.

In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show podcast, special guest Patrick Susmilch joins the crew to discuss the remake of Star Fox 64, Steam Next Fest demos like Penguin Colony and Duskfade, Charles' review of The Adventures of Elliot, Dark Scrolls (no, that's not a typo), Saros, and more.
Susmilch performed on Last Comic Standing (you'll never guess which famous comedian liked his set), but is undeniably best known for his appearance here at Game Informer in 2014, where he discussed making terrible XNA games for Xbox with his friends. He also developed a narrative game about performing bad stand-up comedy, Open Mic Simulator.
Oh, also, everyone's favorite Star Fox character, Yaru de Pon, is a guest for the duration of the video show, but we don't like to talk about it.

Summer Game Fest 2026 has come and gone. But while the GI crew was out in Los Angeles, we took the opportunity to invite a few of our games media pals up to our studio to chat about everything: the state of the industry, how SGF has grown and changed, and of course, all the games we've played (that we can talk about right now).
Join us for an extra special, extra-long episode of The Game Informer Show, live from Los Angeles, brought to you thanks to Rode and their excellent equipment which powered our entire studio setup. Thanks for the sponsorship, Rode!
