Let's talk good indie games. What you playing?

youre mom

nothing right now, but finished the banner saga not too long ago and plan to play banner saga 2 in the coming days.

Halfway through banner saga. Combat system is interesting. First time playing a tactic game. Got other recommendations?

This War of Mine is pretty fun for a couple of PTs. It actually forces you to make a moral choice through game mechanics, which is pretty great.

just finished OP's pic.
All the individual elements were great it's just it had problems fitting it all togehter.
Too much text going on all the time requiring you to stand still and wait for text to finish before you can proceed, combat not being fun until you hit level 10 at least, which was by final boss ,game being too short.

It felt kinda like everyone who wasn't the designer went "This will be my magnum opus" and the designer went "eh"

Replaying Bastion.

Holy shit, I need this narrator in my life. Surely I can pay him some money and get him to record bullshit for me...

I really loved the Banner Saga's setting and overall gloomy mood. I don't think I've ever seen another game do the whole hopeless apocalyptic situation better, shit's so good.

Also I think the last indie game I beat was Hylics. Shit's a neat little turn based game that's like sub 5 hours long that has a bunch of surrealist nonsense going on along with a lot of clay and stop motion based animation.

You mean recommendations for indie games or SRPGs?

>PTs
Wat.

SRPGs

This game was a neat surprise. Using shrines is a must

Banner Saga is a pretty great series but Banner Saga 2 definitely suffers from the "It's the second one in a trilogy" disease.

ff tactics

Heroes of MMight & Magic, XCOM and Shadowrun.
You can also emulate Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem and Advance Wars.

>summer is here

i would assume it means play throughs.

Cool I'll check them out. I got shadow rub on a sale and at the time wasn't too interested in the genre. Tine to try again.

I love Transistor. Best soundtrack of 2014. Looks pretty and runs great too.

I'm currently suffering from alt-itis so I've just done the outpost power quest 4 times

Fantastic answer. This War of Mine is my go-to game for talking about how gameplay can serve narrative that is based entirely on the player. Not like a Bioware RPG style where your character can go down prewritten paths, but the game just going "Have at it. Create your story." Deciding whether to be a dick and kill people just to take their shit, or to make some sacrifices to preserve the moral high-ground.

I think it's got a lot to teach gaming how to create meaningful connections between players and characters.

I quite enjoy 80 Days and the Sorcery! series. The Sorcery! games in particular are basically those DnD choose-your-own-adventure books, and the spellcrafting system is fantastic. I love casting shitty spells just to see how they fail.

Played Forced Showdown recently. A bit repetitive, but pretty fun overall.

banner saga was awesome.

Couldn't finish banner saga 2. Got about 5 hours in and lost interest. Story was kinda all over the place.

Rimworld.
Heatstroke gave 2/3 a serious case of unconscious and the last one was cornered and eaten alive by a boar.
Of the two, one starved to death in their bed while unconscious and the last one got decapitated by a raider while hallucinating

Playing Subnautica and replaying super meatboy
