10 Recent Video Games That Totally Divided Players

1. Indika

And finally we have Indika - a fascinatingly bizarre third-person story-driven game in which players control the titular nun as she navigates a bleak existence in 19th century Russia.

One of the oddest games released this year so far - or in any year, really - Indika is a tough beast to quantify, lurching from walking simulator to puzzle game and back again while daring players to invest in its deeply surreal crisis-of-faith story.

Indeed, you've never played anything quite like Indika - a game which clearly relishes making fun of the medium's biggest tropes, even as it forces players to partake in intentionally tedious busy-work mini-games in-between the strangely alluring narrative.

For some, it's a peculiar meditation on faith wrapped inside a self-aware commentary on the state of modern gaming, while to others, Indika is a low-budget-to-a-fault indie that pads out its already brief play-time out with head-smackingly tedious puzzles.

What just about everyone can agree on, at least, is that it's one of the most singular gaming experiences out there.
