The intro very much spoke to me. The games I play are 90% indie. I've been an XBox player for a while but recently got a Steam Deck in particular to play all the amazing PC only indie games. Having said that, I've also been loving games like God Of War and Horizon that I couldn't get on the XBox . There's definitely a place for both, but AAA games are like Hollywood blockbusters. They cost so much to make that they have to have a wide appeal. The real innovation will always be in the indie world.

If you enjoyed transistor's dynamic OST you will love the 2nd boss fight of Hades II where you face a band of mermaid. The whole fight is a concert with enemie's attacks synced on the music and once you kill a member of the band, their track (instrument) in the song are muted.

Been on the fence about Transistor for a good while, absolutely adored everything about Hades from gameplay, to lore, characters and voice acting. Just pulled the trigger on Transistor, currently £2.99 on PS store which I know is a bargain whether I like the game or not. Thanks for convincing me to buy!

Currently 10 hours into F.I.S.T. I'm really surprised I haven't heard about this game more...genuinely a great metroidvania. To me, it's only downside is the combat...great on paper with the combo system but impossible to execute more than a 4 hit combos because either the enemy dies too fast or, on the more resilient enemies, there is no knock back so you have to get out of the way before their attacks. It's doesn't really make the game bad or anything, but this problem really prevents it from reaching its full potential.

Yup the beginning was exactly how I expected. The typical Indie games are the best of all time while AAA games are complete trash... My god...

Hollow knight is so awesome it has removed originality from tiers lists. Whenever I'm asked to recommand a game I just answer something like "This time you can stop thinking and just follow the herd : Play Hollow Knight". I've stopped buying AAA games. I only buy games to people who actually love making games and respect players. Just as you said, these games are polished in every detail and show love. So much feel like the great times of bedroom coders.. And yeah, I've been around for a while.

Great list my man, the World War 1 game looks great, may add that to my backlog. My personal indie favorites that were stellar for me: Deaths Gambit Afterlife, Hollow Knight, Aeterna Noctics and my all time favorite indie game: Omori

Excellent choices, man. I'll have to check a few of these out; I know your taste is good because you picked Hollow Knight as #1. The game completely blew me away and I'm glad I played through it without looking up a guide and just enjoyed the experience. I know it's blasphemy, but I believe it to be better than Super Metroid and Symphony of the Night (I grew up playing the hell out of both these classics so no one can call me a poser haha)

The story telling of Blasphemous franchise is just breath taking and so deep. It's incredibly well written and composed with the art style and gory vibes. We have to give credit to it. It's hauntingly immersive, the atmosphere is just fantastic.

Awesome list! Love the titles and will give a try to some I didn’t have yet. I must still call out stardew valley, might no be an action packed game, but it’s a really polished one. Made by one single developer, from art, to music, to coding, it’s insane. And the OST is in point. Concerned Ape took a genre that was barely known and created a new era.
