        Would you say bastion is the best supergiant title pre-Hades? I’ve been eyeing both that and transistor for a while

      CrossCode! Why is this freaking game still such an underdog?
      Zero Sievert is also well worth mentioning.

      source

      • Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah, CrossCode is absolutely amazing. I didn’t hear about it until recently. I’m so glad I didn’t completely miss out on it. It’s like my number 1 favourite game now and I almost missed it.

        I like to make sure I bring it up anytime people ask about good games they may not have heard of.

        Literally my idea of the perfect game.

        CrossCode isn’t my type of a game but I saved Zero Sievert, looks good!

      I recently played Outer Wilds for the first time last week. Games like this, I always worry they’re overhyped, but it was great.

      There’s a lot of good games on this list, plus ones I’ve never played before, I should probably check some of them out.

      source

      • Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Ignore the pre-release hype (I mean hype before anyone gets to try the game, early access hype is good). If the game is hyped after people get to play it, then I find it’s safer to trust, though personal preferences can still make it miss the mark.

    • dong@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      This list is utterly fantastic, but if you haven’t given Dave The Diver a chance you definitely should. It’s by far my favorite release from this year, and the devs seem to have even more content planned.

      source

      • taaz@biglemmowski.win ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Heard about it, haven’t played it yet but I did have heard great stuff about it, it’s definitely on my future radar

      Ty for the list!

      source
    • AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’d like to add Ardor to the list. It’s a free turn based deck building game where you face off against hexagon creatures on a hexagon board. It’s not a fleshed out and fancy as some of the other titles on this list.

      source

      • taaz@biglemmowski.win ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        This sounds interesting, thank you!

    • solivine@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Can you recommend any dungeon crawlers or survival games?

      source

      • simple@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Some dungeon crawlers I enjoyed: Hades, Enter the Gungeon, Torchlight 1 & 2, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Legend of Grimrock, The Binding of Isaac Rebirth

        source
      • Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Shattered Pixel Dungeon is my all-time favorite mobile game. It's a Rogue-like with hundreds/thousands of ways to win; but be prepared to be humbled.

        How about tower defense?

        source
      • Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Ape Escape is very quick to pick up and a blast to play. It’s more of the old school side scrolling style, but definitely in the survival theme.

        source
    • guyrocket@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Tower defense and strategy in general.

        Not exactly a minor indie game by any means, but bloons td6 is the game I’ve player the most on mobile by some distance. It’s £6 with no microtransactions and a shit load of content. If you like TD games this is a home run.

    I was going to reply, but most of the games I would recommend are already listed out.

    Some gems are missing, but I’d need to be at my PC to figure out which ones.

    However, I did not see Unexplored 1 mentioned by anyone off the top of my head.

    source

    • snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      A few of those games form my core of things I’ll go back to every so often, though those aren’t all Indies. I’d probably throw CDDA, Dwarf Fortress and KSP in there too though, off the top of my head. Surprised to see foxhole in there but I suppose it’s in a relatively decent state at the moment and it’s somehow claimed 1400 hours from me on steam now.

  • localhost443@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Kingdom Come Deliverance is easily in my top 3 favourite games ever, counting as far back as home world 1 (which also ranks in those 3.) If you give KCD a go be warned though, it will relentlessly punish you for any foolishness early on. It’ll make you work for every thing, no starting out as some warrior running down mobs of bandits. But it pays out with a true RPG experience that rewards incremental skill progress.

    In the last decade, apart from the witcher 3, only Indy studios have produced truly memorable experiences for me.

    • caseofthematts@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yea, I wouldn’t give them any money, though. The actual creatures got fucked and any purchases of the game go to the people that fucked them. Great game, but I’d sail the seas for it.

    Sea of Stars recently came out if you liked older SNES RPGs. Reminiscent of Chrono Trigger, they even snagged one of the music producers from it.

    Hollow Knight if you like metroidvanias. My son and I are excited for the sequel if it ever releases.

    Tricky Towers is a family fun Tetris type multi-player game.

    Blue Fire, 3D platformer/metroidvania.

    Hacknet, OS UI hacking sim.

    Crab Champions (early access coded by EDM producer Noisestorm), 3D bullet hell/loot&shoot where you play as you guessed it… a crab.
