Braid is the indie classic that arguably started the meteoric rise of the genre. Developer Number None managed to create a game that blended intricate puzzles and a complex story in a way that felt fresh. The story sees the player going to save a princess; however, the twist ending reveals that when rewinding the journey, the player had actually been the pursuer and the knight was the one saving the princess. This directly challenged the idea that players always control the hero in a new way. In a now archived post about Braid ‘s success, developer Johnathon Blow states that Braid was the second highest-selling Xbox Live Arcade game in 2008 and that success brought more attention to what indie games had to of

With the COVID-19 pandemic causing fear, loneliness, and lockdowns across the world, the rise of Among Us provided millions of people with a way to stay connected. Among Us took the formula of tabletop games like One Night Ultimate Werewolf and adjusted it with smart design choices such as not being able to talk until after someone is killed, allowing players with a bad poker face to maintain their ruse for a longer period of time. Even well into 2021, Among Us is still going strong as shown by the 15 million downloads while it was free on the Epic Games St
Hotline Miami is a prime example of providing a fresh experience to a known formula by using its bold aesthetic to emphasize the gameplay. The bright neon lights, fast movement, and excellent soundtrack slam players with a wave of adrenaline which feeds back into the high-octane action of the gameplay. It’s dedication to the aesthetic of 1980’s America also provided an introspective look into the ultra-violence that permeated pop culture at the time. It’s that blend of tight and memorable gameplay with a nuanced commentary on its subject matter that made it so special and inspired a wave of 80s inspired ga

Like 2010, this year saw significant releases such as Celeste , which balanced ultra-difficult platforming with difficulty adjustment options and showed that platformers have the ability to tell a beautiful story about identity and mental health with nuance and respect. Frostpunk , however, released without as much attention even though it elevated the city-building genre to new and more complex heights. Frostpunk takes the experience of the totalitarian border inspector simulator Papers, Please and applies it to running an entire city in which the survival of hundreds is on the line and the biggest hurdle to success is the player’s morality and the sacrifices they are (and aren’t) willing to make. Both of these releases act as reminders that video games are fully capable of being art that tackle difficult subjects and do so with c

Choosing the most important indie game of each year since 2008 is not purely about popularity – though there is some intersection – and there are cases when multiple influential titles were released in the same year. 2016, for instance, saw the release of No Man’s Sky , The Witness , and Inside – all significant indie games that pushed the boundaries of their genres. But certain indie titles did more for the industry as a whole, at times even popularizing or establishing new genres of their
