Indie games make up a very large portion of the market nowadays.
But Triple A games have bigger marketing teams, with bigger budgets and more cutting edge modern visuals so they end up being way more successful.
I mean, they're called Triple A Games for a reason, right?
But just because triple A games more consistently sell more copies with their big marketing budgets and their brand recognition doesn't necessarily mean that they're better games. Triple A developers are under much more pressure to make something that sells. So they'll end up being much more traditional ideas, that are much more linear and don't innovate too much as far as gameplay's concerned. Their investors are breathing down their neck trying to make sure they get their money back, so these investors don't want them to take risks.
So today I thought I'd bring you 8 games you probably haven't played, that you probably should.
Nobody reads the description anyway so I'll spoil my entire video here why not.
Crypt of the Necrodancer, They Bleed Pixels, Rain World, Devil Daggers, Slime Rancher, Risk of Rain 1, Grow Home, and Outer wilds are games that I think are more than worth your time and money...

Turns out, people are still ok with hearing me go off about Rain World
Rain world is the best, but you used wrong map in the video lol.
Hollow knight, Rain World and Ori and the will of the wisps are some of the best games.
We Need More Rain World Content
The games good, so nobody cares.
Everyone loves to talk avout good games
the more you preach about rain world, the more likely somebody willl get it, and maybe they'll start preaching too.
I don't see Rain world as an aventure, it's more of an experience. The game is unique in a good way, and in a way I've never seen before. Thanks for the recommendation Htwo !!

More Rain World Propaganda!
Yep, you're experiencing yourself as a part of an ecosystem. Not at the top, nor at the bottom. It also has a great immersion, like everything is part of the gameplay
@@olegmoki You can be at the top of the food chain if you're good enough.
Rain World isn't even a game, it's a lifestyle.
rain world isnt even a game, its hell simulator
Rain world isn’t a game, it’s a religion.

@@breadbun827 it is a game and you are a nerd
Rain world is one of the games ever made
i get really happy every time rainworld gets mentioned in a video
Same, I could probably watch an hour of Rain World being explained to someone who's never heard of it before, and enjoy it.
Rain world is a really good game that never got the chance to gain a spike in popularity, the game just flopped after release, but not because it’s a bad game, but because of critics putting it down. But this game is one of the best.
Honorable mention!
Hyper light drifter is a game that only gets more interesting when you learn about the people who created it. It has an amazing story, great fast paced combat that requires a decent amount of on-the-fly strategy, and something I know you love after watching this video, non linear progression.
There are four different main areas with a fifth one being a hub in the center of the map, three of these areas you can explore in any order you like. The fourth one requires you to beat the area bosses of the other three areas first. To progress you need to explore and find extremely well hidden objects called modules that will allow you to complete the area and raise the monolith. There are other collectibles as well, those being keys that unlock hidden areas, and scrap you can trade in to unlock abilities or upgrade previously existing ones.
The combat is interesting as it mixes long range guns and swords in a seamless way. You can hack and slash through enemies with you’re sword, or you can shoot them with a long range railgun, but in order to use guns, you need to get ammo for them by attacking things with your sword. I’m not sure what everyone else’s strategies were, but this system established a pattern of shoot when you can’t get close, and then full send it and beat up a giant toad with a sword that is more like a toothpick to him.
Overall I think it’s an amazing game that deserves more attention than it has gotten.
Outer Wilds is definitely the best game I have ever played... next to Chrono Trigger (but this one is mostly nostalgia)
I second this!!!
You're so real for this
Just bought rain world today, it is absolutely fantastic.
To put this in perspective, I've done maximum 6 steam purchases in my entire life, rain world is one of them, and I'll keep it.
Here's 8 more.
8. Hypnospace: Outlaw | You play as a content enforcer on a radical 90's internet mindscape.
7. N++ | A very simple platformer that doesn't do anything radical, but is so tightly designed, that it's just about as close to perfect as a video game can get.
6. Roundabout | You navigate an open world as a constantly spinning limousine, interspliced with absurdist comedy FMV cutscenes.
5. Rodina | A game about scale, you seamlessly explore a solar system the size of an actual solar system. Words cannot describe how it feels to be on a planet in that game.
4. Proteus | A deeply charming and calming exploration game, with charming, beautiful pixel graphics. Did I mention it's charming?
3. Stacking | A puzzle/adventure game where you play as Russian Nesting Dolls.
2. Save the Date! | A freeware visual novel that I refuse to spoil, just play it for yourself.
1. Hyperbolica | An upcoming adventure game that shatters your sense of reality by using non-Euclidean environments.
Proteus is one of my favorite games of all time! The visuals are charming, but where the game really shines is it's soundscape. If you take your time to really listen while you're walking around you'll start to hear how everything has its own unique tone adding to the music. There's something really special about climbing up a mountain and realizing that you can HEAR the sun as other sounds drop away. I just love Proteus and I will take any opportunity to praise it :)
@@phantomkitten73 oh! I was trying to remember why that one sounded familiar, I'm subscribed to the dev on yt! Hyperbolica seems so unique and like it would be really fun to explore, definitely up my alley. I'm moving it higher up my wishlist :)
N+ on the 360 was the shit
i watched the making of hyperbolica since the start of it. magical thing.
Was not ready to see slime rancher on this list. And honestly you made a great choice put it in because this game is just incredible in my opinion
Your channel feels like it should be getting millions of views. These are high quality videos. You deserve so much more.
That rain world protagonist seems familiar
Rain world is the hardest game I've played but I love it. Really need to get around to beating it.
Also need to learn the movement system
i gave up on my first 2 attempts at a playthrough and had it in my steam library with about 5 hours clocked on it and then tried one more time and holy shit i fucking loved it, i started finding it easier on my 3rd attempt at a playthrough (aka the playthrough that i finally finished it), by no means was it a walk in the park but it was definitely no where near as hard as people say, atleast for me, im a fan of challenging games so i might just be used to having to think fast but nonetheless phenomenal game
Thanks for the devil daggers recommendation. Currently enjoying it. I've heard of it before but this video pushed me to buy it.
I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to devil dagggers so I just thought I'd pass that burden onto a few other people while I'm at it. What's your best time? Mine's 312
@@htwo1 30 something
If you like They Bleed Pixels, but want a cool grapple hook, dialogue, and no fighting kinda like in Outer Wilds, pick up Silver Grapple, i HIGHLY recommend it! Such a cool game with a simple concept, and the movement is really fun too!
Please make more of these. I had already played all of them before this video, fantastic choices. Please give more amazing recommendations!
I subbed. Very well done video bud. Looking forward to seeing what you create. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!
4:31 a bit odd that you used a map that includes modded regions
haha oops, I didn't even notice when i edited it into the video ffs. Welp. Thanks for pointing it out anyway, not that i can fix it now lol
Outer Wilds ❤
Noita is also super cool. its similar to rainworld in that it leaves you to find everything out yourself, and boy. There is a LOT to find. Its a roguelike whose main gimic is that every single pixel is a physics object and EVERYTHING is interactible and has some sort of weird interaction or cool synergy with some other item or pixel. Also the wand and spell system which you use to interact with the world is FANTASTIC.
it took me so long to figure out how spells work and i honestly still dont fully understand it
outstanding taste. I would recommend and have played all of these, I've never even heard anyone else mention They Bleed Pixels before
I can't 100% remember how I came across slime rancher(I think I saw a trailer for it), but I came across it early enough to take part in it's "free open beta" that you could download from the devs website. Needless to say i was immediately hooked! and that's even with how barebones the game was back then. I fell off after a while(I think shortly before the drones and/or treasure pods were added), but I do want to get back into it, especially now with the sequel coming sometime this year!
Great list! I've played a bunch of these games and wholeheartedly second these recommendations
as someone who has followed slime rancher since its early days its really nice every time I see someone talking about it
It's always great for people to talk about they bleed pixels. It's on of my favourite and it's so under rated
Neon Abyss is a cool Roguelike
Legit the best game ever, rainworld that is.
You should play Outer Wilds
Devil Daggers is at the top of my list for games to play on the steam deck, it looks fantastic.
Edit: I need to finish outer wilds too, but honestly the game at the very top of my list right now is the $70 horizon forbidden West.
Really Not stick friendly.
DD, and it's spiritual successor Hyper Demon, are 2 of the most precise and difficult FPS games ever made.
I knew Rain World was going to be on this video xD
rain world sounds like life
thank you so much for this
7:45 that was so satisfying
thanks man i really need some games these days
I remember seeing a video on They Bleed Pixels years ago, I think it was by TotalBiscuit (rip) but ever since I was just unable to remember the name of it for the life of me. The art style really captivated child me
That total biscuit video is what made me buy the game in the first place! Must have been at least 8 - 10 years ago now, crazy
1: you should include a link to this video in your newest video's description.
2: A Normal Lost Phone is a really cool mobile game. It has an upfront cost of like 5 bucks but no microtransactions. Alternatively if you just want to experience the story I'd say that watching a TH-cam playthrough isn't that different from playing it yourself.
With all due respect, Crypt of the Necrodancer and They Bleed Pixels and especially Risk of Rain are not obscure games by any means. They were the shit back in the early 10s during the indie boom.
they bleed pixels was actually one of the only games that i had never heard of in this video
i tried out Risk of Rain 1 back when i got 2, but refunded it shortly afterwards due to how clunky it is (you can't even use left and right click as controls!)
can't wait for the remaster.
I’ve played or heard of most of these games, 😅 but have you ever heard of wandersong?
Yay i forgot what rainworld was actually called, so now i know again after like, 4 years or so.
Big fan of your videos :)
i played ror1 first and i can say its fun but at the start its insanely frustrating but once you get into it its very fun like it's sequel but for me eventually it got really boring an only the 4th 5th and 6th stage where fun.
This entire video I was just hoping that you would mention outer wilds
I was under the impression that basically everyone has played slime rancher lol
I was probably recommended this because of Rain World, but Devil Daggers now really interests me!
What I personally think is the most underappreciated game is, is The Upturned. It's a comedy/horror game which might sound kind of odd at first, but the game does both of these things really well. Go watch Pastra's review of the game he explains it beautifully.
I kind of liked the simplicity of Brotato. Basically it's like Devil Draggers but no aiming and many items.
Broken Reality is one of my favorites
As soon as I saw Rain World I had to sub. You have excellent taste and can actually stick to games which I appreciate in people who make these kinds of lists which show off games.
People need to mod in a game journalist mod into rainworld which adds tutorials for every enemy the moment you encounter them and make every enemy stay in one room
I know about all bbn of these games. I wish you went into more obscure game that i am missing here.
13:12 i'd say the sun and the owl-deers count as enemies, as the former directly causes your loop to end because you die. and the latter literally break your neck when you don't have the lantern with you to get you out of their simulation
But why does the loop happen in the first place? The sun's not so much a villain,
The owlks are bastards tho.
I love grow home, but is it really an indie game? Considering it's made by Ubisoft
I need myself a slugcat plush😂
A game that i think that many people arent giving enough attention is Everhood, if you liked the music challenge of Undertale, you will love this game
congratulations! you've manage to introduce be to one(1) new game!
and congratulations to "They Bleed PIXELS" for escaping my radar for so long.
aint no way you put one of the best selling indie games of all time in this small indie games list naurrrr
I skipped to 8:00 just so I could hear him talk about my favorite game💀💀💀
I just want to say that your title is wrong. I have heard of slime rancher and play it monthly when I want to relax
What was the outro song?
Outer Wilds Echoes Of The Eye ost - Echoes Of The Eye
@@rosimatnik thank you so much!
I played Crypt & Slime Rancher
outerwilds and slime ranchers are both rlyyy good
Was hoping Earthlock would’ve been mentioned.
I've played two of them. NEW RECORD!! Slime rancher is my most played game, with over 150 hours, while rain world... Lets just say i can't stop playing rain world. Like 60 hours there, ONE MONTH.
Make it 3 by playing Outer Wilds
idk is Just Shapes and Beats is an indie game, but it deserves to be on this list.
hey uh honorable mention: streets of rogue, all i need to say is imagine deus ex mixed with enter the gungeon, but its better than both thanks to its unique systems.
the 3 fish is my enemies first time i saw them i got jumpscared
Damn i feel proud for being a fan and owning 6 titles out of this video
if risk of rain 1 is in 2D, and risk of rain 2 is in 3D. that means risk of rain 3 will be in 4D right?
First game is kinda like mad rat dead?
isnt grow home made by ubisoft?
I wanna play outer wilds again but I am fucking terrified of the game
My only issue with Grow Home is that the sequel Grow Up is better in every way, at least imo, so I didn't stick with it because it just felt less fun to me than the second, which I had played recently before.
I had no idea Grow Up even existed, so thanks for letting me know about it like 3 and a half hours before the steam sale ended so I could get it for cheap!
@@htwo1 Welcome! Love the videos and hope you like the game!
A game that's built upon a cycle where you have to complete tasks and learn from each cycle gradually getting better and better in order to beat the game? Now where have I heard that before?...
seriously though where have you heard it i dont get the joke
@@person4579 Majora's Mask
@@DenisDexter ah i see
(TINY SPOILERS TO OUTER WILDS IN REPLY SECTION, not that tiny actually)I got Rain World and loved it but always got stuck and I know you said this in another video, I got stuck got out and felt good, BUT THAT ONE WATER LEVEL SWAMP SEWER THING IS HORRIBLE. THE LEECHES, HORRIBLE. THE SURFACE WITH THE SCARY AXOLOTLS AND TENTACLE MONSTERS, AND
BEING LOST, I HAD TO SEARCH UP AN ENTIRE MAP OF THE GAME AND I WAS STILL LOST, so, I ended up deleting and never picked it back up.. that game scares me, but I still love it (TINY SPOILERS IN THE REPLY SECTION)
Same exact thing happened to me with outer wilds, I loved it but could never get the ending, traversing through the angler fish part is horrible
I've Played Slime Rancher Before.
RAIN WORLD RAIN WORLD YEAHHHHHHHH
Add ultrakill)
grow home is awesome
Rain world fans when they see the game get a microgram of attwntion:*Neouron activation*
And yes that includes me
in Isaac I can have diarrhoea
You sure love Rain World...
Deep rock galactic
Why does rain world not get updated
i think theres like some 1.7 update coming out or something, idk heard the devs say something about an update on the discord a month or 2 ago when they talked to everyone
I knew but I was checking if anybody else knew I guess It is happening yay
they got the rights to the game recently and now videocult owns the rain world IP, it seems they will be officially porting the More Slugcats mod into the game
If it's a mod then how can ps4 play
@@All_Photography1 ????
Slime rancher 1 was a really good game, but then 2 came out, which is a disappointment compared to the first one. The updates are few, if any at all. Wish they just kept adding to the original.
Well damn, I hate platformers and side scrollers, 2D, first person anything, and multiplayer. So can you tell I'm not big on your choices? I also hate turn based, survival, strategy and rogue so nah I'm good and not big on indie titles of any kind
So you don't play games good to know
What kind of games do you even play bro?, Visual novels☠️
:D
