WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "2018 was an incredible year for indie games and we're more than happy to take a look back at our favorites from throughout the year."
Earthblade is a 2D fantasy platformer in a seamless pixel art world and is the next release from the Celeste team, well it’s still is but likely will not be released in 2024 as Extremely OK Games’ head Maddy Thorson explains in an official blog post. Earthblade was first announced in April 2021 and then had its first trailer at The Game Awards in 2022. You are Névoa, an enigmatic child of Fate returning at long last to Earth, in this fantasy platformer. Earthblade’s lush pixel art world offers seamless exploration, challenging combat, and countless mysteries to pick apart. Celeste was an amazing game, so we know this will be too, we just will need to wait at least another year.

Some of those games look amazing. I unintentionally neglected indies last year because I've been focusing on catching up on my backlog. I've just picked up Dead Cells, Celeste, The Messenger and Gris so I'm planning to capitalise on the lack of new big releases in the first couple of weeks this month (probably gonna start out with dead cells as it's the most interesting of the bunch to me).
