I enjoy indie games, I feel alot of them try to draw inspiration from 16 and 8 bit visuals, while creating a story and concept more for today's censorship standards.
WOW! this 8/16 bit game just cussed while showing gratuitous violence in low res glory.
For me, it feels that most indie developers are creating games that they wanted to see when they played games in their youth.
Back then games were more wholesome in the 8 bit era (censorship). During the 16 bit era, they finally showed blood, ( mortal Kombatl Sword of Sodan) as the gamers got older. so it's a natural progression.
My current favorites: Guacamelee, Max The curse of brotherhood, Abobo's Big Adventure
Ones I do not like: Don't starve, Olli Olli, Resogun ( this game is pretty but, got very boring quick for me)
any free2play game.
