Didn't watch but pulled this from a comment under the video:

1) Hollow Knight
2) Cuphead
3) Deep Rock Galactic
4) Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps
5) Dead Cells
6) Tunic
7) Fez
8) Ender Lilies
9) Animal Well
10) Bendy and the Ink Machine / Dark Revival
11) Celeste
12) Hyper Light Drifter
13) A Hat in Time
14) Little Nightmares (both games)
15) Cocoon

Edit: Not the actual list, it's someone else's top 15 apparently.

That's not the actual list although it's a perfectly accurate list. I liked this video because it was highly focused on some less well-known titles.

  1. Viewfinder
  2. Moonlighter
  3. Death's Door
  4. Astalon
  5. Sea of Stars
  6. Blasphemous 2
  7. El Fungo
  8. Mini Shooter Adventures
  9. Chained Echoes
  10. Tunic
  11. CrossCode

While I agree with the criticisms of this list, it does have 2 of my favourite games of all time (Tunic and Crosscode) so I dub it based as hell.

Yeah, that’s why I like it. It is a well-informed list that still communicates good information. Presumably a lot of people who would find themselves watching this video already would know that Celeste is good.

“Yeah, I’m into Indie games… you’ve probably never heard of them.”

How is Bastion on neither of these lists??

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Why title it "of All Time" though 😅 Helps with engagement, I suppose.

Also, fuck Japan, I guess, haha.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh my, I didn't even match the numbers. It's someone else's list. Still viable though. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, they are both good lists.

Also, Cunningham's Law. I totally ignored the person who simply asked for the information.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

This is a better list than the actual list probably 😅 Not having hollow knight or cuphead on the actual list is pretty insane and it is much more of a "non-mainstream best indie games" list

Thanks to AAA companies (also AAAA one) being shit, we live in the golden age of indies. So many great and niche games out there. I would definitely put Obra Dinn in this list.

"Papers, Please" got robbed, too.
