20 Best Indie Games Of The Decade

18. Journey

Another early decade title that showed things were going to change in regards to what video games could even "be", Journey's gorgeous graphics mask the fact it's more about going on a shared experience with a completely random individual.

Controlled by another player in real time, the only interaction the two of you can have is by tapping a button, that results in a handful of simple chime sound effects.

That's it.

From here, knowing you're in this together, you'll surf down sand dunes in the blazing sun, stealthily sneak past gargantuan cave-dwelling horrors, and climb a final mountain together, with only one person making it to the top.

What happens next encapsulates everything thatgamecompany were going for, and the literal journey you've been on, as this random person gets immortalised in the credits, and you finally get to know the name of your partner.

A brilliant idea for a video game, wrapped in an ethereal blanket that's a joy to get lost in.
