Journey of the Broken Circle | Shapes, but make it feel!
I feel like I have been on a puzzle binge for my indie games… and I am not mad about it! This game is so interesting. Let me set the scene: you are an incomplete circle who is looking for their missing piece.
Spiritfarer | Boating, but make it spiritual
There are not many games I can say really surprised me. This game, Spiritfarer, is really outstanding. Spiritfarer is a management and sandbox action game with so much heart.
Ni No Kuni | Ghibli, but make it playable!
The art, the battles, the story! Magic, and an unsuspecting hero, the love of family, all with an expansive and open world. This game makes the most SEAMLESS transitions from game, to cut scene movie, and back to game I have ever seen. It is just an enjoyable journey!
GRIS | Art, but make it therapy!
A game like no other I have played. An experience, and an extremely beautiful one. The silence, the darkness, the anger, the sadness. You feel it all as you run, fall, fly, and heal. This is a puzzle/platformer with little instruction but a flow that feels so natural.
