Indie games often introduce new features, aspects, gameplay, immersion, and story-telling. That’s why i mostly prefer them now than big AAA titles who only focus on making the graphics and visuals beautiful and not the actual enjoyment on the game. Edit: Oh and if you can, please play Eastward. Really great game.

I feel Nintendo doesn't do that as much. P5, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Three Houses don't have the best visuals but they got some heartfelt stories.

I’d have to recommend everyone to play Road 96. basically, you get to make your own decisions, and then later on those decisions will effect your gameplay and the ending. You can of course, restart the game as much as you’d like if you didn’t like your ending or if you would just like to make different decisions. it’s cheap (only 19.96 USD and I am honestly very shocked), beautiful scenery, amazing characters & a amazing storyline. I dumped TONS of hours into that game. Best indie game I’ve played in 2021. I’m really happy it made it on this list. I could go on about that game for a VERY long time, but that would be a very long review. If you haven’t played it yet, I really recommend you looking into it! You will not be disappointed!!
@sonicmario64 2 роки тому
One of my favorite indie game titles of 2021 would have to be "Kaze And The Wild Masks". If you are a huge fan of the DKC games, I highly recommend checking it out, since the gameplay is remarkably similar to them while also being quite challenging.

I feel like it would add more variety to the characters and would definitely be a good change.
