Soo, I want to give a special shout out to small and (in my opinion) underappreciated games, games that aren't getting the attention they deserve (most often because they lack a big marketing budget). I don't say indie, because technically BG3 is indie (Larian studios stayed independent and the game has no publishing contract with a big publisher). And people also questioned Dave the Divers status as indie. But if I choose games from small teams with small budgets I think many of you agree they can do with a bit of attention. I also let out retro games, all these games are readily available and can be downloaded and played right away. Actually I will give links how to acquire them, as I feel not bad to do this for these games that lack the big marketing. So let's go.
| #48 | Slice & Dice |
|---|---|
 | I love turn-based RPGs. In many of them you choose an action and randomness is applied to determine the outcome of that action. Slice&Dice turns that system on it's head. The dice are rolled first and you can choose what to do with it. As you also see what actions the enemies take it turns an RPG into an experience more like a puzzle. Interesting and innovative mechanics, I would love to see that explored with more depth. |
| #46 | Project Zomboid |
|---|---|
 | A zombie outbreak in rural Kentucky in the early 90s. Your character (which you create) is right inside it and tries to survive. In the beginning looting weapons and food, later on building a fortress and growing crops. It is a project that gets updated over the years and has very satisfying gameplay. |
| #36 | Vampire Survivors |
|---|---|
 | Fight the monster menace in this indie game that has surprisingly simple yet addictive gameplay. Started by a single developer it has now taken on more devs that brought it to more platforms, including all current consoles. |
| #34 | Against the Storm |
|---|---|
 | The storm is relentless in this postapocalyptic fantasy city builder. The surviving civilization is hanging on in the Smoldering City. And when the storm recedes a bit for a time, the city sends out caravans to settle in the forest and gather resources, for the next time the storm wins power and destroys everything outside.As the Scorched Queens viceroy you manage these settlements to gain her favor. The game left early access in December. |
| #32 | A Short Hike |
|---|---|
 | In a time where open worlds game get bigger and marketing brags about the size, A Short Hike offers the opposite experience: a small open world game. It is beatiful, it has great characters you learn to know and love. It is a joy. As the name suggests the game is not long, but the experience stays with you longer than with some much bigger games that are forgotten fast after putting down the controller. |
| #24 | Graveyard Keeper |
|---|---|
 | This game is kinda like Stardew Valley, but instead of a garden you manage a graveyard. It has absolutely brilliant humour and weird characters and a world with a mysterious past. it is such a joy to play through it and learn about all the secrets, while building an army of Zombies that do all your work. |
| #19 | Wildermyth |
|---|---|
 | I love indies for their willingness to explore new concepts. In the case of Wildermyth it is about procedural story telling. For this Wildermyth has templates that can have different characters set in and are modified based on said characters features. Then multiple of these templates are combined and all results in your own story. |
| #17 | 20 Minutes Till Dawn |
|---|---|
 | A wild shooter in a similar vein to Vampire Survivors. But it offers a much deeper system of synergies and different builds. Add to that the beatiful art style and banging music and you have a great time. |
| #15 | Rise to Ruins |
|---|---|
 | A city builder/colony sim, that also incorporates God Game mechanics and tower defense and all of it in run based gameplay with permanent upgrades you can achieve over time? The result of this is a game that you can sink hours in and forget everything else while enjoying building your colonies that are just doomed to fall into ruins again. |
