There are so many amazing indie games out there, but some of them stand out as must-play experiences. What are your favorite indie games of all time?
Superhot, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Celeste
I would say Hades.
The gameplay loop, the art direction and the story are all very good.Valheim - especially if you fork out for a dedicated server. I was playing with family and friends across the Atlanic, so we’d log on the next day and find new bases and bridges built, etc.
I just wish you could modify and expand the boats!
Airships: Conquer the Skies - a great little 2D airship builder and combat game
Songs of Syx - a fun city builder even if combat is largely unfinished still
Yeah, building in Valheim is mad fun. Adding meaning and difficulty to the acquisition of resources made it so much more satisfying to make things.
Gone Home.
Celeste.
Most of Pokemon fan games (my boyfriend loves fangames)
Gris. Gorgeous visuals and stress-free gameplay
Not incredibly long either
Celeste took much of my time, even though I’m usually not a big fan of this genre. Stray was pretty interesting for me as a fan of cyberpunk culture. Plague Tale was a breath of fresh air
Risk of Rain!
First, second, or both?
First. Second is nice, but it’s 3D, makes it a little harder. Also they are releasing a new revamped version of the first.
Subnautica
Tunic
The Legend of Grimrock 1 and 2 (I’ve convinced 0 people to try these)
Subnautica is horror in its most subtle form.
"Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you’re doing is worth it?”
I usually only play the large bombast blockbuster titles, but Actual Sunshine did leave me speechless.
We will need a topic for the AAAs as well. 🙂
Do you mean Actual Sunlight?
Yes. My bad on the name. It’s been a couple of years.
