What are some of your favorite content creators that highlight small indie games? Can be big or small, I’m just looking to find some lesser known games for a change.

Edit: I’m checking all of these out, thanks everyone!

Stuff+ generally always has a Prison Architect and one other game series going, then does one-shot videos of random indie stuff in between. He’s also not loud and annoying the way youtube gamers tend to be and doesn’t have a webcam feed covering a quarter of the screen, it’s just about the games.

SAP is his current time filler game, but his content is mostly about the banter and less about the gameplay. He is mainly an indie/variety streamer tho

If you enjoy watching a maniac break indie games, I can recommend Let’s Game It Out on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCto7D1L-MiRoOziCXK9uT5Q

The titles may look like click bait, but they are in fact not. The amount of time and work put into a casual “let’s break this small survival indie game” video is ridiculous.

They focus on abusing game mechanics and explore the limits on game loops and player guidance in games. Mostly survival, simulation and management games, and not all content is indie. All with a good dose of absurdity.

A couple of blog suggestions:

Weird Fucking Games. Guess what that blog is about.

There’s also Virtual Moose, who blogs about a bunch of stuff, but mostly retro and obscure indie games.

Finally, Indie Hell Zone. IDH isn’t updated nearly as frequently as the first two, but there’s still plenty of archives to go through.

Thanks for these! Indie Hell Zone sounds like it would be for laughing at bad games 😅
