The cohost of the Summer Game Fest Showcase and formerly of Gamespot, Lucy just launched a newsletter all about helping you find new, indie games called LookingFor.Game. On this episode we each share our picks for 2026 games that deserve more love, you can submit your picks on the next episode of our Patreon-exclusive podcast called Bonus Pod.
