Indie games

What indie games have you enjoyed?

Normally posting a thread about a non-popular indie game automatically means you are a shill so let's keep it all in one thread.

On top of my mind
>Lisa
>Undertale
>Shovel Knight
>SteamWorld dig
>Limbo
>Hotline Miami
>Pony Island
>To the Moon
>Bit.trip runner
>Downwell
>The Stanley Parable
There are more but I'm not sure they qualify as "indie".

>Skullgirls
>Cuphead
>FTL
>Hotline Miami
>Running with Rifles
>Broforce
>Sanctuary RPG
>Terraria
>E.Y.E. (not sure if this counts)
>KSP
>Va-11 Hall-A
>Hatred

how do you define what is an 'indie' game anyway? Is it by how much was needed to make it? Is it defined by the visual 'style' of the game or the uniqueness of its gameplay? Or by how obscure the devs are?

>let's keep it all in one thread
I will keep making threads about non-AAA games just fine, thank you

>Cave Story
>Shovel Knight
>Cuphead

I think that "indie" stands literally for "indipendent" and as such I think a game can be defined indie when it has been created by a development team, most of the time a small one, without the help of a publisher.
Shitposters or brainlets think that indie means "2D pixel art graphics".

>>Cave Story
Pretty good for the standards of the time, aged semi-well but not perfectly
>>Shovel Knight
Just a meme
>>Cuphead
A good meme

I'm just looking foward for Blasphemous.

>Just a meme
You are a meme.

You try Steamworld Dig 2 yet?

I'm sorry, my biological mother was a meme but I swear my dad was a reasonable human being

Not yet, I should. Same with Heist, which looks terribly interesting.

I'm a shitter at strategy kinda games but I fucking loved Dig 2, highly recommend it.

I also really enjoyed Environmental Station Alpha

>He's a dirty half-meme
Even worse, ya muggle.

>Environmental Station Alpha
Just checked it, it looks like a better Metroid game than AM2R.

It's pretty good, you get a swinging hookshot early on that lets you hook onto any ceiling with the exception of the arbitrary fuck you blocks, and you can pull off some really high jumps if you latch onto shit at the last moment. Mobility feels good.
There's also an insane amount of postgame content.

>Cuphead
>Hotline Miami
>Stardew Valley
>The Stanley Parable
>Terraria
>Minecraft (before it turned into a MT shitfest full of kids by Microsoft)

>a MT shitfest full of kids
Weren't you a kid when you first played it too?

Yes, but Microsoft went all out with merchandising and advertisement that it turned into a kids IP with a stigma it doesn't deserve

some of my faves
>world of goo
>hotline miami
>don't starve
>oxygen not included

this also means that wayforward is indie despite having worked with dozens of other studios because shantae is a passion project. same goes for the divinity original sin's devs even though they had like a 2 million dollar buget.

FTL: Faster Than Light is one of my favorite games, triple A or indie

>Castle in the Darkness
>Momodora, all of them

>Castle in the Darkness

I see no problem with that. An indie game isn't necessarily a game with low budget, Shovel Knight got a lot of money from its kickstarter but it's still made by an indipendent studio.

i know, that's the point my post was trying to get across.
>Shantae the pirate's curse
>Super Meat Boy
>The Bindin of Isaac (specifically Rebirth)
>Dust: an elysian tale
>Nuclear Throne

>Spelunky
>Crypt of the necrodancer
>Risk of rain
>super meat boy
>sunless sea
>super house of dead ninjas
>shovel knight

>volgarr the viking
>axiom verge

Probably forgetting some but those are games that stick out and I recommend all of them

Monolith is absolutely excellent and I will shill that game until I die. Same goes for Kero Blaster, Environmental Station Alpha, Lethal League, Lovely Planet, AAAaaaaaAaaaAA: For The Awesome, Intrusion 2, every BIT.TRIP game, Aliens Go Home Run, and some others I'm probably forgetting about. Creepy Castle is excellent, too, but incredibly niche and I fully understand why people would hate it.
Also, Environmental Station Alpha's dev is almost finished with his new game Baba Is You, which also looks pretty top-tier.

Tower Offence! was surprisingly fun this year.

>Baba Is You
I'm more interested in ESA2 but Baba is You is fascinating too

Same. He said on twitter than apparently ESA2 development should resume sometime by March. I'm honestly pretty glad he took a hiatus for Baba Is You, though, because I'm sure he learned some shit that'll find its way into ESA2 one way or another. And given how close ESA go to La-Mulana puzzle bullshit during those last two endings, I can't wait to see how nuts ESA2's endgame/postgame gets.

Anyone played End is Nigh? It's been out a while and since its release I've heard very little about it even though it seems like it was well received

Environmental Station Alpha was really fun like some guys already said here. I never had the patience to go through the La-Mulana stuff though.

I recently started Underrail and I've been really enjoying it, just got past Depot A. I like it how the game actually forces you to use every tool you have at hand, at least with my character. Preparation also seems important and that's a thing I really like in games.

Bump for interest
