What are your favorite indies this past decade?

Hollow knight is king.

Blasphemous is quite good.

However Death's Gambit is a true hidden gem- the game released with quite a few issues and questionable design choices, which was always shame since it had such beautiful art and some great voice acting. Shockingly they actually overhauled the whole game and expanded it a year after release making it a game thats very worth checking out.

Potionomics was a lot of fun and great visuals.

Hotline Miami (switch): goat top down retro graphics which while pixelated pushes the gore and brutality . With a heavy soundtrack to match the overall over the top grimy feel and humor of it . I don’t recall wanting to experience the dialogue but just wanting to play the game because I was impatient and unappreciative at the time. But it was a trip and badass is what I got from it.

Rogue legacy (switch) - extremely fun and forward moving side scrolling gameplay with solid enough text dialogue. The family trio iirc Reminded me of the cast of golden axe but more cheeky humor and stabbing .

Hellblade: senuas sacrifice (switch) - only one whose voices soundtrack and images scared the hell out of me and I am a fearless man. If I had certain mental health issues I’d have had a seizure.

Cuphead (Xbox one): insanely Difficult run and gun with crazy hand drawn art style side scrolling action. The levels are very hard!

Celeste or Furi or bastion to round my top 5

Barotrauma. A 2D multiplayer submarine horror/survival-sim. You are a descendant of the stranded members of a human space mission sent to collect resources from the subterranean ocean of one of Jupiter's orbiting moons (Europa). With no way off the planet, you must survive in a barely habitable environment filled with horrific alien sealife.

Here's a nice teaser:

Surprised it took to post #65 to get a mention of Celeste. With platforming being my favorite genre, Celeste blew my socks off.

The graphics remind me of Dragon Warrior Monsters 2

The music in Celeste is ridiculous.

Just bout OuterWilds based on this thread. Can't wait to play it.

also, Guacamelee was HELLA FUN. Death's Door amazing, and Transistor was awesome. I'm becoming a big fan of indies, wish we had a thread for them.


anyone played Chained Echoes? not really a jrpg fan but the reviews are so good I"m thinking of getting it.

I'm not a fan of JRPGs and gave it a go, didn't click with me.

A couple more I've loved since my last post:
Blasphemous
The Messenger
Neon Abyss
Dredge

[MrBourbon]

Any subnautica bros? That game rips.

gotta play this. will probably get it after my backlog.

[OneLegSquats]

Snowrunner by far. Hundreds of hours on that hidden gem
Rocket league
Plague Tale (if that can still be classed as indie)

It’s a blast. Get the first one - the sequel “Below Zero” is very good and improves certain aspects of 1 but also loses some of the magic that made it so special.

I’ve replayed both of them multiple times, after the first play through they become excellent podcast games.

Anybody play Dave the Diver? Been hearing great things and will probably grab it when it ports to switch.
