When’s the last time you played an indie game?

Played slay the spire on the train this weekend. Also monster train. Played a lot of sandrock the past couple months, too. (Heidi is my love).

I do play a lot of guild wars 2 though. The old standby.

Paid 60 bucks since August on games and sunk over 200 hours into them. Vampire survivors for 3, slay the spire for 6 and Baldurs Gate for 50.

I have only 30-50 hours on Baldurs Gate though.

Basically all I play outside of Paradox titles these days.

I just beat OneShot yesterday, and before that I beat Dodgeball Academia. In my top 25 favorite games, only 5 of then are AAA, the rest are Indie or AA. There are no AAA in my top 5 of all time.

A quick 5 minute search shows me that this is true. Lots of articles and lists out there. And the only games I could see that weren't sequels or remakes, are Starfield and Harry Potter.

This isn't a new development either. Pong had a sequel.
