Interesting to see Chants of Sennaar, Stasis: Bone Totem and 24 Killers on here! Been hearing good stuff about Space for the Unbound and Turbo Overkill as well. May be interested in Steamworld Build. I personally want to point attention to Clash: Artifacts of Chaos and Cookie Cutter too. Clash is part of the Zeno Clash franchise and had Jonas Kyratzes (from the Talos Principle) as lead writer, and Cookie Cutter is a solid game with *great fupping animation*. Both of them have just fantastic style and aestethic to them as well and i'm hungry for more of their world. The lead dev of CC has stated he'd like to substantially support the game for a long time to come if support and opportunity allows for it. Stuff like dedicated boss intro animations, full voice acting, a combo counter, more areas, etc. For upcoming games, Blud, Genokids, Gori: Cuddly Carnage and Loco Motive have my attention. Have a good one in the new year!

The art style of Little Goody Two Shoes is actually influenced by 90's anime, not 80's. If you look at anime such as the Slayers and Sorcerer Stabber Orphen you will see what I mean.

@commentarytalk1446 5 ай бұрын

- Best Indie Games of 2023 - World of Horror - Such great simple animation/art. Sanabi - Great physics for movement and you have a hugely playable game that also looks slick. Wandering Sword - has that mini movie experience of a good rpg along with some cool tbh/rt combat. Tevi - Again the movement and frames of action are so slick - the key to good gameplay! Sea of Stars - a full game world in a game is what you want with JRPGs and that's half of what makes this genre so good when it's good. - Hidden Gems - Pocket Bravery - Probably my pick for GOY. Amazing depth of gameplay with a great presentation package. Deep! Fading Afternoon - Gets my number 2 spot but as above one of the best indie games of past decade also. 100% if you enjoy films such as Sonatine or Hana-Bi etc! - Fan Favourites - Bred and Fred - Love coop or couch conflict 1UP, 2UP, 3UP, 4UP style games. This "See No Evil Hear No Evil" style of buddies or penguins on the run is that kind of awesome game. Cute graphics for 2! - Best Of The Rest - Wartales - definitely great narrative with tbc in a harsh black company style world. Baldurs Gate 3 - hard to overlook how good the narrative branching is in this game. - Indie Games of 2024 To Look Forward (personal list) - Windrunners - Love the combo of luftrausers mixed with pysgnosis-style art Roger Dean - Gotta be good Ronin Trail - micro samurai one blade one life! style indie game.

I really disagree with Brotato being referred to as a Vampire Survivors clone. I feel like it gives the wrong impression of what the game is like; there are much fewer enemies per wave, while the weapon and item interactions are far more in-depth.
