This list, which is in no order, will no doubt be redundant by tomorrow when the next big little thing comes around, which is why it’s also a living list of the best indie games: if a game comes out that we adore, we will add it.ġ. Here are some of the finest examples that the smaller guys have to offer. Indie games prove that you don’t need a huge budget, several teams, and a whole lot of hyperbole to sell a video game in the 21st century. You need only look at Stardew Valley, one of 2016’s most profitable games on Steam, to see this. More often than not, it’s AAA titles that are being hyped to the moon and back, but with the right innovation and audience, an indie game can become just as praised and popular, if not more so. Since we all started worshipping the internet, all kinds of games are getting the attention they deserve. Huge AAA games like the latest Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty may come along and make a huge splash, but it’s indie games like Undertale that people remember the fondest. In fact, it could be argued that well-crafted indies receive more love than their far bigger cousins. There used to be a time when the best indie games would go unnoticed, whispered about on gaming forums and rarely in contention for awards, swept aside by annual releases and the million of dollars spent on animating the protagonist’s eyebrows.
