Since I don’t see it yet…

Super Hexagon

It’s one of the simplest games possible, the controls are “clockwise” and “counterclockwise”, and there are no distracting characters, setting, or story.

And yet the easiest level is – quite accurately – labeled as difficulty “Hard”. The next 5 levels (6 total) go way up in difficulty (and labelling) from there.

Each level lasts 60 seconds. If you can survive that long. I’ve never unlocked the final level myself, so I don’t even know what it is like, but I can guess.

FippleStone,

Great game, and Chipzel did such a good job on the soundtrack

Have a ton of games already, but I picked up Nuclear Blaze and Streets of Rogue on the cheap.

A week prior to the steam sale, got a good deal on River City Girls 2 and Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries on Fanatical, $15 for both together.

Voroxpete,

Streets of Rogue is amazing, especially with friends. Absolutely bonkers game.

I’ve bought Witch Spring R to play on Steam Deck while I do memory OC and testing on my PC

I bought Satisfactory and Back 4 Blood for myself and Monster Hunter World for my daughter.

EncryptKeeper,

You have a family and you bought Satisfactory? Well I’m sure it was nice while it lasted.

systemglitch,

Lol, I would have bought factario, but I have trouble spending that much on a game, and I would have had to buy two copies (one for partner). However first person games give her motion sickness, so satisfactory was about 1/4 the price overall. And she’s hooked on monster hunter world herself, so I have time…

I guess it depends on your definition of indie some, but here are mine:

Guacamelee 1 & Guacamelee 2 - The humor is mixed but the gameplay is just so damn tight

Shovel Knight - Growing up on games like Mega Man and Duck Tales, Shovel Knight feels like it was made specifically for me.

Celeste - One of my favorite gaming experiences. Great story, great gameplay, and hard as fuck. Incredible accessibility options also.

Recettear: An Item Shop - I don’t know anyone else who has played this game but it’s so damn good. I love it.

Stardew Valley - The way ConcernedApe continues to add free content to this game makes this easily one of the best values in gaming, but this game would still be great even if content updates had stopped a long time ago. Have to play on PC though for mods; the default walking speed makes the game unplayable for me.

I also put years into a now-defunct multi-user-dungeon called Arythia, but that’s kind of it’s own whole thing so I don’t think that counts.

edit: I can’t believe I forgot to include Hades, which is literally one of my all-time favorite games.

Oooh, MUDs! I used to play 1 or two, don’t even remember their name now…

Vespair,

Yeah I played a few, but arythia was my “main” and the only one I still remember the name and details of. But it was also run by a group of kids just slightly older than me out of a local tech school that I knew about via a connection I made in local theatre, so arythia had a much more concrete “real world” feel to me than any of the other completely random MUDs I played.

I thought all of those were undisputed indies? Also good one for recommending Recettear, the japanese indie scene is almost lost media since they used to sell their games as physical disks at events, very few ended up on steam, it’s a pain in the ass trying to find stuff that’s not on there.

Vespair,

I believe a number of them have publisher/port deals with big studios, so I wasn’t sure if that would disqualify them in some eyes, but yes I consider all of them fully indie-developed games.

@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

I see, yeah it’s complex, but people still think of devolver games as indies since they basically only help with marketing and localization I think? This discussion happened with Bastion too but the devs said Warner only helped them to get on consoles and steam, it was self-funded.

Patches,

If you like Recettear then you would like Moonlighter. It’s the same game but made a decade later.

mods_are_assholes,

Moonlighter

AND it’s 85% off as part of the spring sale. As a lover of Recettear this was an easy buy for me.

Vespair,

Ooooo good tip, thank you!

Most recently, KeyWe and modded Keep Talking with friends. Solo, still ol’ reliable slay the spire.

I have a plan to teach someone how to play schnapsen and crazyhouse chess tomorrow so that’s exciting.

Started playing Styx: Master of Shadows last week. I’m not that far into yet, but I’ve really enjoyed the few missions I have played. I’m a big fan of stealth games and fantasy settings, so I’m not sure how I missed this one when it originally came out.

Since I don’t see it Return of the Obra Dinn is one of the best games ever made, and done by 1 guy

I picked up King of Seas on sale just to have something silly to play. It’s a fun little thing, getting to roam around as a pirate and dodging the navy and main quest alike in pursuit of a fancier ship

Helldivers 2 with friends.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Hadn’t played since I was much younger. Forgot how fun it was to kick everyone off ledges.

Binding of Isaac - once I figure out how to get my GOG save file on my partner’s PC to sync with my PC…

Total War: Warhammer 3. Played this one on and off. A mod I love just dropped a patch so I’m bad into it for now, until CA fucks something up again.

kakes, do games w What are the best indie games you've ever played?

One that I didn’t see (or missed) is Project Zomboid. Absolutely can’t wait for Build 42 to drop (someday).

I thought I didn’t like zombie games until I discovered Days Gone… it’s been really engrossing and has a wonderful plot, great characters and I don’t skip the dialogue, which is quite rare for me. It also looks stunning.

The Oregon Trail, Pong, Myst, Doom, Worms, Transport Tycoon, Tetris…

CaptainBasculin, do gaming w Gacha gamers: which is your favourite disappointment simulator and why?

There’s just one gacha game I play called Genshin Impact; but I ignore its gacha aspect entirely. Used to play way more until I finished the story and made all my characters level 90 + level 20 artifacted, nowadays I play it when a new update comes, complete the story quests and quit until next update. There really isn’t much point.

I have 35k primos, 35 purple pulls, 70 blue pulls and still haven’t pulled any aside from the beginner banner. The free characters that comes with events feel more than enough, but finding weapons is a bit difficult.

Maybe I will start pulling after the storyline ends; but it doesn’t seem likely that it will anytime soon. I don’t get why some people pay so much for this game.
