20 Best Indie Games Of The Decade

16. Mark Of The Ninja

Mark of the Ninja
Klei Entertainment

Playing like a dream and looking like your favourite Saturday morning cartoon show thanks to being developed by the incredible Klei Entertainment, MotN is a fully-fledged ninja stealth game, routed to a 2D plane.

There are scores of gadgets, light/dark mechanics to know when you're safe, a brilliant sense of empowerment that turns into fragility if you mistime a kill, and that sublime art style from artist Jeff Agala that makes Klei's stuff really pop.

Alongside Metal Gear Solid V and the Hitman reboots, Mark of the Ninja came out of nowhere to be a notably stellar stealth title all who like the genre should try.
