IM PLAYIN looks at the first offering from Games With Gold for May and discusses why it's such a fantastic game
"The overall design of the game is what really makes it, for me at least. It’s wonderfully enchanting, with a superb level of detail for any game, let alone a side-scroller. The character design is probably one of my favourite aspects, with the anthropomorphic animals really bringing the levels to life. The backgrounds are just as mesmerizing, however, with stunning forests full of woodland creatures, babbling brooks and dank caves. The design of each area really combines to help build an atmosphere of wonder and amazement and helps create a beautiful fantasy world."
It's right that we recognize the 12 best indie games of the eight generation of gaming. It would be remiss to ignore the impact they've had.
Hollow Knight was a masterpiece. I cared less for the arena combat (Gods, not in the in-game arena) but everything was tight and the exploration was extremely enjoyable. Absolute masters of their craft in level design. I hope Silk Song gives the bees a second chance since their area was only a short subsection.
Mick Doherty has put together a list of indie games that, in his humble opinion, you need to play at least once in your life.
Eh, its a decent low budget game. Not bad if you're broke and need something to play.
These are games made by a single developer. Serving as proof that you don't need millions of dollars and a team of people to make a amazing game.
