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.
Oh yes! Sounds like Max Blastronaut made it!
Great i knew dust would make it .
Play, Create, Share
