My 50 greatest games of all time - 2024 edition
This time I wanted to make an indie list, so all games here are indies. As everyone has slightly differing definitions or in absence of definitions has different criteria to what to consider indies I state here clearly: this list contains games I consider indie. You might disagree on some titles. Which is fine.
