Spelunky, Fez, Hotline Miami

This trio pretty much shame all the big studios modern gaming efforts IMO, especially with the latter two being free on PS+

It's a shame that sales seem to be driven now by cookie cutter FPS and or same franchise every year efforts (FIFA)

The game I'm stoked about atm is the playstation release of Nidhogg, yes a game that looks like it was drawn by a child


Any other indie gems worth a shout?

Hotline Miami is the best game I've played in a long time (a long long time)

not keep on Fez, but might give Spelunky a try if I have time


Tokyo massacre looks good, a lot like hotline miami, with more gore, but it's not finished yet :-(



I hate all the games jumping on the indi bandwaggon, thinking then can put out the same old game, but with old school/pixilated graphics and think it'll be a big hit


I like the style of game where you keep dieing then learning from it trying something new each time... a bit like cannon fodder, or comandos (I think thats what it was called, was a long time ago) I'm suprised ther hasn;t been a game like that released lately...

I keep going back to FTL. I think its a proper gem especially when you factor in all the mods, etc people have come up with (e.g. Captain's Edition) which give it massive longevity. I really liked Game Dev Tycoon too.

Then there's also the freeware TTD railroad tycoon clone, which is a great way to kill an afternoon.

Spelunky is right up your dirty alleyway then sailor. I've completed it nearly 30 times.

Not tried FTL, I shall have to rectify this OpenTTD is hilariously addictive

Hotline Miami actually looks good, i saw all the rave reviews and skipped over!

Rogue Legacy is very highly regarded, almost as much as some of the others you guys mentioned. I haven't played Spelunky or Hotline Miami  but own them both >_<

I spent a good while on Rogue Legacy and its superb.

Factorio is awesome

Give their free alpha demo a bash:

I knew it would be right up your street


That sheltered game looks pretty cool too.

You twat... I'm addicted to it.... Have been on about 5 hours straight now....

LMAO! You will never get away from it

i thought my days of being distracted by a game and not realising it's almost 4am when I have to be up at 7am for work were long gone.... but I guess not!

Factorio has just come out of Early Access, you may lose sleep again, knighty.

One I've mentioned before (probably to knighty) that is in a similar vein but first-person perspective: https://www.satisfactorygame.com/

Also looks interesting!

I've been hitting factorio for the past few weeks anyway!

not as bad as it used to be...  the post above where I played till 4am?

I took the next day off work to play it more :-o
