In my opinion: the games that should be $60 are: Super Mario Galaxy Deluxe (1& 2 combined) Super Mario 3D World Deluxe Super Mario 64 + Super Mario Sunshine (combined as one game for $60 or each individual game should be $20-30, not $60.)

Some of my favorite indie games are CROSSNIQ+ and Downwell. Crossniq+ is a really neat puzzle game with a cool astethic all about making crosses and it gets really addicting. Feels very Dreamcast-y. Downwell is a simple, one button arcade style game where you fall down a well and have to shoot the bad guys. Not sure what itd classify as, i guess an endless runner almost? Long story short, both are very well crafted fun games and Crossniq+ is currently only a dollar.

Creature in the Well is an amazing game, I played it last year on Xbox using game pass. This is the game that opened my eyes to indie games as before I’d usually avoid them. Highly suggest it, another game I’d suggest is Donut County, first game my friend and I both bought on switch and it was an amazing experience!

[@exzisd]

Hey Bob I really like your taste in games; it's not games I would typically notice or hear about but I end up loving them. I've bought probably a half dozen games based on seeing them on your channel in the last few months. I got 20XX as a non Megaman fan but I am loving it! I also picked up Dogurai for $5 and Roombo which was less than $2 on sale bc of this video. I probably would have skipped Roombo at full price but it was super cheap and I'll save it for a rainy day. Anyways your taste in games is pretty cool so I'd love an update video with more games you like if it's a slow news week or you don't have any demanding projects at the moment. Even if you are busy I'd still love to see another video with more indies from you.

Why do people keep perpetuating the idea that 7/10 is a bad score 5/10 is average people

[@shadowisen]

Reviewers grade like teachers grade: anything below 70 is a "failure."

[@BoshBargnani]

5/10 is not "average", its 50%. The average score of all games could and probably is 7/10 since basically every game gets that score from most reviewers.

[@MarauderShields]

@@BoshBargnani Look at a bell curve. On a scale of 0-10, 5 is "average". They're saying reviewers essentially score on a scale of 4-10 where 7 becomes "average". 5 is statistically average but for whatever reason 7 is accepted as average. Most scores are skewed toward higher numbers because of our perception on 5 being a super low score.

[@BoshBargnani]

@@MarauderShields a bell curve does not make 50% average, that's a common misconception, using a bell curve an engineering student can pass a class with a 20%. A bell curve adjusts values to create a normal distribution.

[@Uejji]

Think about it this way. 5/10 is "take it or leave it." It's not awful, but it's got very little to no compelling features. It's just okay. Or it's got some really good stuff, but you have to get through a comparable amount of really awful stuff. But, according to the empirical rule (or the "three-sigma rule"), you should expect your personal experience to most likely fall between 16/100 ("That was terrible!) and 84/100 ("That was actually pretty good."), but aiming more towards 38/100 to 62/100. If you're consuming media, which is meant for entertainment, you want to have a great time, not just an okay time. Sure, maybe a handful of people really love that 5/10 game, but most people really seemed to not care for it, so you'll probably want to take your chances with something that has a higher score so you have a higher chance of getting a good amount of entertainment for your time and money investment. If you want to give yourself a decent chance of *enjoying* the media you are consuming--that is, an experience of "wow, I really liked/loved that"--you should aim for a score of 9/10. Then, knowing nothing else, you should expect your personal experience to likely fall somewhere between 59/100 ("It was okay") and 93/100 ("That was really really good!"), but aiming more towards 70/100 to 91/100. So, 7/10 is a "bad" score, because I expect my personal experience to be between 46/100 and 80/100. So, I might like it, but chances are I'm going to dislike it, so why take that chance, unless it's cheap or from a genre I really like, etc? Of course, there's no accounting for taste, so you have to weigh your choice on many other factors than just average review score. You could have a 10/10 experience with something everything reviews a 0/10, or vice-versa. All this is assuming that the hypothetical "true and objective" scores of media lies on a normal curve, with most media falling between 4 and 6 and increasingly rare truly awful and truly amazing examples.

[@TheOnyxGemini]

Here are three indie games on switch that might have gone under the radar. Fist is "Heart&Slash" which is a rouge-like hack and slash game.Then there is also "Mist Hunter" which is a cool FPS that came out this year. Lastly "coffee talk" is a visual novel in the same vain to "VA-11 Hall-A".

[@kyloctopus]

You can connect a controller to an iPhone or iPad and the Apple Arcade games will work fine. Heck, I’ve been enjoying Apple Arcade through my Apple TV with a PS4 controller. So you can enjoy Exit the Gungeon + a bunch of other great indie games for something like $5 a month.

As someone who can't always splurge $60 on games, I like indie games because of how awesome and groundbreaking they are, while also being a reasonable price. Although all of the Nintendo switch first party titles that are $60 are definitely worth the money, if I need more games but can't spend as much money, indie games are definitely the way to go.

Honestly, I think Dogurai did one thing that I don't like. The design decision is a bit too faithful. Nit being widescreen.
