Its starting to become really tedious with all these survival crafting games...

@suspiciouschair4887 Ай бұрын

Not nearly as tedious as it has become with all these metroidvania games. Or honestly, insert your favorite genre, there is a fair number of each of them lately. I just can't understand when someone says "too many of this type of game" when most likely your favorite type has a ton of games coming out as well. Focus on those and please stop griping about the genres you don't like. Someone apparently does like them, and that is perfectly ok.

@beargrizzly6897 28 күн бұрын

@suspiciouschair4887 He's probably fed up with watching those trailers, rather than the game itself. Many survival crafting games tend to look similar to each other(Cut some trees, mine some rocks, then build a house or whatever on the grassy field). So regardless of how fun the game actually is, trailers of those kind of games could be boring to watch for some people

Some good games on here for sure and I know things like this are subjective, but you left out what is, IMO, the GOTY to date... SKALD: Against the Black Priory. Game is a modern retro masterpiece.

@minibixxx Ай бұрын

Thanks, I hadn’t heard about this one def going on wishlist

@commentarytalk1446 Ай бұрын

How could I forget? Skald was on the tip of my tongue... definitely 100% should have been in this top list. I was thinking of revisiting Moonring also which came out last year and has such charming old school vibes also. Skald is awesome.

@XionSteel Ай бұрын

Grindea was fun yeah. It is a game that isn't completely open, each new area is streamlined and who's main gimmick is to grind (if the name doesn't tip you off lol). Aside from card drops, everything else in the game can be quickly farmed by staying in one area and killing enemies on spawn since the rate of enemy spawning increases rapidly after a while and chain kills helps a lot. There is a map tracker to tell you how many obtainable items are left to farm in any given area (Chests, drops, cards, pets, fish), some are easier then others to get but honestly I didn't take more then 15 minutes to get any one low drop rate item. My only real complaint is that the difficulty isn't the most balanced, you can breeze through most of the game but a boss or side quest can be brutally difficult out no nowhere, the climb up the final dungeon and ESPECIALLY the true ending boss puts fromsoft to shame and the devs don't seem like they plan to lower the difficulty on them anytime soon. You can argue that's the point of end game fights, but there is a challenge and then there is what they cooked up.

@JDLupus Ай бұрын

Minishoot Adventures really is an absolute gem. If anybody reading this is on the fence with regards to buying it, let me just say that, while enemies respawn on the overworld if you die, not only are they easy to just fly right past to get where you need to but there was not EVER a moment wher eI instead made sure to destroy every single one of them once again. The feeling of moving and shooting really is just _that_ good.

@erakfishfishfish Ай бұрын

Plus, it can be 100% completed in 8-12 hours. The game has zero bloat and never overstays its welcome. I loved it. It took me back to gaming in the 16-bit era.

Consider looking at Devil Blade, definitely the best shmup released in a while. Also it has a 412 positive and 2 negative reviews on steam which is an incredible ratio. it certainly should be on this list for sure.

@Maplefoxx-vl2ew Ай бұрын

I prefer The Last Medic over Hades 2 honestly, the music in Last Medic is best indie game music in so so long, they did over 200 songs. the game has like 40 hours or more of gameplay. one dev made it.. i'm puttin it up there in my top games of the year along side Animal Well. even tho The Last Medic only has 19 reviews on steam. for me it's the best platformer since Celeste.. and i have 1500 hours in Celeste, Modded Celested, and i make my own levels too. I'm just not into top down view games or rogue likes that much is why i'm not into Hades 2

@commentarytalk1446 Ай бұрын

Manor Lords - Hard to look past this one as it's done the city/base-builder mix with RTS combat of units/individuals right at the top of it's genre and is so engrossing. Nine Sols - 2d souls-like with top in class in all the areas: Combat, Art, Movement. Animal Well - One of the best art presentations and exploration platformers I've seen anywhere with cool ecosystem and secrets. Again feels top in class in this sub-genre. I'd say the above 3 are easily going to be in Top 10 indie games of the year imho. But still for Bo: Path of The Teal Lotus, Wind Runners and more excellent looking indie games to come.

Last Epoch and Songs of conquest are on the list because of the date of the 1.0 release. Manor Lords and Hades are on the list because of the date of the start of the Early Access. You have to decide if you want to use the 1.0 release dates, or the early access dates. You can't use both, the list makes no sense as it is now.
