Is it really that simple though? I don't think it is. Indie doesn't really mean independent game any more. It has become its own style. Those games are of the indie style and are therefore indie games.

I'm sorry. I grew up with 2D games and I really can't see it like that. Ori is an 2D castlevania style game, not an indie.

eh, they are both overrated meh games to me. Why not call them the same thing.

The "genre" for these games is metrovania actually, a mixture of metroid and castlevania.
