What is Your Favorite Indie Game?

Forum: Games

Hi everyone! Half-Fish here with a quick question for you wonderful folks: What is your favorite Indie Game? If you are unsure of what an Indie game is: They are typically games made my smaller, Independent game studios who make games without the help of larger publishing companies to back them up (i.e. Nintendo, SEGA, Naughty Dog etc.). Some examples are games like Stardew Valley, The Binding of Isaac and Rivals of Aether.

I,  personally, would have to say my favorite is a game called Fae Tactics that released on PC a while ago. It takes inspiration from games such as Final Fantasy Tactics and makes a brand new, fun experience and I highly recommend you check it out. You can get it on Steam and I believe there is/going to be a Nintendo Switch release as well.



Tell me what your favorite Indie Games are in the comments below so I can check them out for myself!

undertale!! 


- it's filled to brim with incredible characters, music, humour, weight carrying choices, and so many little touches that you'll keep finding new things every time you play it

- it blows my mind any time i think of it really just being a trial run for deltarune where it's such a wonderful game itself, anyway i can't recommend it enough

I really like the game PARATOPIC. It's a short horror game inspired by old PlayStation games. I really recommend it! I believe you can play it on desktop/PC and you can also play it on Switch. Like I said before, I really recommend it. Very gripping, and it's only about half an hour long.

I really love a game called Abzu, 

It’s a super relaxing game where you swim in the ocean, and bring animals back to habitats! It’s incredible!

Shovel knight is a contender for my favorite game of all time. Terraria used to be my favorite indie game, it just doesn't feel very indie anymore. I've sunk hundreds of hours into shovel knight (many of those being on that stupid fucking battletoads level) and have gotten 100% on steam. I really want to get the treasure trove edition, but I'm kinda broke so I cannot.

Ocean Heart. I found it on my own just through looking through other Steam games and came across the video. It reminds me of SNES Zelda and I was super invested in it along with the secrets in it.

The only correct answer to this is Omori. Omori is the perfect game. no flaws in it whatsoever.
