10 Indie Games That Prove Gaming Isn't Boring

What's the best Indie game you've played recently?

As a game design teacher, I'm constantly looking for new indie examples to share with my students. I really appreciated this video; I'd played a few of these, but most of them are new to me and you really sold them without spoiling them. Thanks very much and I'll keep watching!

Graphics-wise Crow Country somehow reminds me of original Final Fantasy VII, while of course having real time 3D graphics instead of pre-rendered. Really interesting art style!

I started getting bored with video games around 2011 when I had my Wii and just couldn't find anything that really gripped me anymore. My dad bought me a refurbished PC and I had bought a PC copy of Darksiders which needed Steam to run. When I downloaded Steam I wasn't even interested in playing Darksiders because I was just having fun searching the Steam store page for cheap games. About a year later in 2012 a little gem called Hotline Miami came out and changed the way I viewed video games forever!

This needs to be a series, really love how you described and analyzed the games and it genuinely made me put most in my wishlist.

The indie scene has been killing it all year! So many good games out right now

A reality bending mask that let's you change the map. Ngl that's an awesome feature that only comes once every decade. Insta buy

I love all video games but indie games are always the ones that just hit different. I’ve been playing Binding of Isaac for like 5 years. Can’t say the same for most games.

wanna talk about insane 1 man passion projects? take a quick look at spacebourne 2. It's super jank but constantly being updated. It's honestly what starfield wanted to be.

I think the best indie game i have ever played has to be Lethal Company, just 2 or 3 people developed a mass hit that started out as an indie game

If you don’t mind a text heavy game, I recommend Road Warden. It’s my top five favorite game of this year

Really loved this video would love if it was a regular series, keep up the great work

Quickly becoming one of my favourites to watch

Great video! I myself got a whole new set of games to play. Keep up the great work. I’ll definitely be trying out knuckle sandwich!!

Mullet Mad Jack was so peak I grew a mullet while playing the game.

On a surface level, I absolutely agree. There are a lot of great indie games coming out. Though, it's easy to see some of the AAA rot seeping into the indie space, too. How many more "action-packed rogue-lite deck-builders" are we going to see? And we're constantly seeing a flood of cheap streamerbait, hoping to be the next flavor of the month. There are plenty of good indie games, but man it's hard to find them when they're covered in trash. Anyway, the best indie game I've played in the last few months was easily Void Stranger. It's not for everyone, but... Boy, if it's for you it's for you.

amazing recommendations, and well made video cant wait to watch more of you!

you did good guy. I added several to my wish list, some I had ignored. The way you described them had me reconsider my initial, knee jerk reaction. I tend to glance at videos while hovering over the ignore button, I've become the consoomer I always hated. Anyway thanks for the video.

Caves of Qud has been my addiction the past few months, it's really a roguelike that's worth checking out too.

Good stuff and just in time for the steam sale lol. You should do another one like this again sometime.
