Calling all the gamers, in your opinion, what makes a good indie game?
To me its when they have an intricate story, one with like a ton of focus on the characters and whats makey them THEM.
Also when the characters stories are connected, so the characters aren't just...yknow, there LOL

MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC! AND MORE MUSIC!!!
if a game doesn't have a memorable soundtrack, i won't remember it after a day or so. what makes experience a good one for me is 50% story (obv), 30% soundtrack and 20% looks. games with only footsteps + door opening sounds make me lose attention in like 10 minutes

honestly for me it's a lot about atmosphere and the way that a game is able to make me feel. I enjoy games that are super story heavy but I also like games like Yume Nikki where the environment carries the entire game by itself. I have been playing a lot of indie games recently and all of the ones that were stand outs had a really solid aesthetic identity. Fatum Betula is one that comes to mind, it's super fun and the polygonal world manages to be creepy and charming all at once.

I'd argue the most important thing in a game to be good is to have a soul. Now, wtf does it mean to have a soul, well it's to have an actual personality and not be a gacha/microtransaction hell game. After personality you need to have some element in your game that's fun, like a good and detailed story, accurate and tight mechanics, fun combat, etc.
