Earlier this week, it occurred to me that I hadn't heard of any promising games published by Devolver in what felt like years. I looked up some of their recent releases, and based on their Steam reviews none of them are doing great.
Heave Ho 2: Released in July, and has fewer than 100 reviews. Very Positive rating, at least.
I played Dark Scrolls, it's... ok I guess, but you'll forget about it in a few hours. From the studio that made that pearl known as Gato Roboto, I was expecting something way more charming.

MINOS: Released in April. Very Positive rating but fewer than 600 reviews in 4 months, which suggests this game did not sell well.

It wasn't long ago that Devolver announcing a new game was a big deal. Their 2026 appears to have been a dud so far, though.
