There are so many amazing indie games out there, but some of them stand out as must-play experiences. What are your favorite indie games of all time?

Subnautica. One of the best experiences I’ve had in gaming.

Outer Wilds. One of the most creative and thought-provoking games I’ve played. Definitely go into this one knowing as little as possible about it.

Hollow Knight also deserves a spot here, but personally I preferred Salt and Sanctuary.

Outer wilds is ridiculously good, it’s such a crazy unique experience. But you have to go in without spoilers, it’s not nearly as fun if you know where things are.

Celeste.

Most of Pokemon fan games (my boyfriend loves fangames)

I would say Hades.
The gameplay loop, the art direction and the story are all very good.

The games that stuck with me are (in no special order) Paradise Killer, Sable, Disco Elysium, Gris and of course What remains of Edith Finch.

  • 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
