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.
- Viewfinder
- Moonlighter
- Death's Door
- Astalon
- Sea of Stars
- Blasphemous 2
- El Fungo
- Mini Shooter Adventures
- Chained Echoes
- Tunic
- 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??
Why title it "of All Time" though 😅 Helps with engagement, I suppose.
Also, fuck Japan, I guess, haha.
Where is Disco Elysium on all these lists? 🤨
Blasphemous 2
I do not agree that the second is better than the first after playing one after another, but that might be because the way the store evolved made the bosses less interesting to me on the second game.
Oh my, I didn't even match the numbers. It's someone else's list. Still viable though. :)
Yeah, they are both good lists.
Also, Cunningham's Law. I totally ignored the person who simply asked for the information.
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.
Is Outer Wilds indie? Because Outer Wilds is my favorite :).
Just started tunic tonight. Good timing
Nice, good luck! Its a great game
You weren't lying. I was looking for "knowledge" games similar to Animal Well and Outer Wilds and I saw some reviews making the comparison. Tbh, I was a little underwhelmed at first. I thought it was a good game but it didn't feel like what I was looking for. But the back half really opened it up. Figuring out the mountain door puzzle was like a jaw on the floor moment. By the end I had several pages of graph paper with notes and sketches.
Celeste has to be 1. right?
Is dwarf fortress not indie?
