⚔️ The Rough Cut — Independent Indie Game Criticism

Welcome to The Rough Cut, a casual community built for gamers who actually enjoy reading reviews and discovering hidden gems.

We aren't a corporate giant and we don't care about AAA hype. We’re a small group of writers dedicated to promoting the indie games that actually deserve your time. Whether it’s a high-velocity Metroidvania like LUCID or a cozy farm-sim you’ve never heard of, we’re diving deep into the "rough cuts" of the gaming world.
