Yea, I’ll be honest; I don’t really get this award. It does
eliminate a few people from the running, but I don’t see why a game should get
any more or less props just because the company hasn’t made a game before. It
might make the devs achievements more impressive, but the game is just as good
either way. Eh, I guess I just give zero fucks about the devs for the most part, so the
distinction doesn’t matter to me.
Spoiler, expect my best Indie Game list to look veeery similar.
My Nominations:
- Cuphead - It took them long enough to make, but it’s a damn fun little game that looks amazing.
- Hollow Knight – A fantastic metroidvania, with great art, sound, lore and gameplay. What’s not to like?
- Hyper Light Drifter – A beautiful looking action game with fun, challenging combat and exploration, though it took a little while to click with me, when it did I had a blast.
- Lone Survivor – Jasper Byrne's side scrolling exploration of the nameless protagonist’s mental health as he tries to survive after some silent hill style apocalypse is a strong first game by anybodies standards.
- Slime Rancher – I never knew how much I wanted to farm Slime with cat ears until I bought this game.
And the Winner is:
Hollow
Knight
What can I say, all of the games in this category were great
and could have easily won, but for me Hollow Knight just has the whole package,
it’s not perfect, but once it got it’s nail
stuck into me I couldn’t put it down until I had completed every last part.
Next up, join me for Best Multiplayer Game!
