10 Incredible Indie Games You Must Consider
That magic the gaming industry used to have? It's in the indies.
In contrast to most "triple-A" games such as those produced by Bethesda or EA, indie games are those produced by individuals or smaller development teams without the financial support of a larger publisher.
The term may also refer to those games financed by publishers who do not exert significant creative control on the developers.
As you’d imagine, indie games are a whole different breed to your Assassin’s Creed-types. They’re often whacky and colourful, resembling the titles we chose to play as children – or so dark and twisted that mainstream publishers want nothing to do with them.
Whether they’re goofy or gothic, there really are some indie games you should play at least once in your life.
