Did you play any of these awesome indies? Let us know in the comments below!

[@marcelluslongus1202]

Yeah, I tried Gun Crazy! Fun game.

[@p1deckard]

Absolutely love Roki - it was one of the first games I got on my Switch. Also loved Inmost. Sydney and Foregone are in my backlog 😅 Never heard of Evan’s Remain, but immediately bought it - greatly appreciate the vid and highlighting these games!

[@IDreamofIndie]

That's awesome I am glad the video was helpful!!

[@denycast]

Röku was really amazing! Thanks to the steam sale, I can get Evan Remains and inMost😀

[@IDreamofIndie]

Good choice!

[@RoadKamelot2nd]

I absolutely adored "A Summer's end - Hong Kong 1986". But Foregone repulsed me because of off-screen ranged attacks.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Glad you liked 1 of the 2 at least! :)

[@martinaurik2189]

I will add “Push and pully in blockland”and “Gun crazy”to my Steam wishlist.Right now I’m playing “Born of Bread”and enjoying it so far😄thanks for sharing 😉

[@IDreamofIndie]

Of course!!

[@weslyn1021]

I just purchased Roki during this latest sale and can't wait to play

[@IDreamofIndie]

Enjoy 😊

[@jadoisready]

Roki is one of my fave go-to games to play during the holidays.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Very nice!

[@MotherKojiro]

I remember picking up Evan's Remains on a whim, and I think I enjoyed it; I honestly don't remember much about it, other than the basic mechanics. Foregone is a very different story; I remember liking the demo, and absolutely *loving* the full game. Not only is one of your weapon types *gunchucks* (the correct answer to any situation), but as you gained more abilities, movement felt so good; it's a lot more of a straight-up 2D Platformer than it claims to be, but I felt it did that very well. The more I hear people liken it to Dead Cells, the more I think I might have to bite the bullet and try that one day.

I'm not passing this opportunity to tell everyone how much I loved Inmost! I went into it expecting it to be yet another metroidvania, and while it's not entirely wrong to assume that, I was happy to be a little wrong. It's short enough to be played through in one sitting, which I did mostly because I got hooked into the story. At first I found it quite cheesy and cliche-y, then somewhat confusing and ultimately satisfying once I eventually figured out what was happening behind all the metaphors. If I made a category for "best storytelling in a video game that's not much longer than a movie", this would easily win that award. I will always have a room for it somewhere in the memories department of my brain. Highly recommended if you find it even remotely interesting in trailers and such and if you have any tolerance for persistently melancholic and gloomy atmospheres in your video games.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Such a good game!!

[@psc1558]

Stellar list, a lot of these indie games I have not heard of, which is why I love this channel. I've played Röki and it was great. I definitely recommend it. INMOST and Gun Crazy look awesome. Thanks for a great video! 🤙🏻

[@VelvetVillain]

Roki is super underrated, I enjoyed it so much

[@IDreamofIndie]

Great game!

[@jeffgreen5429]

Inmost was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere alone pushes you through it super quickly. Sydney Hunter is another game I wasn't expecting much of, but was also excellent.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Really glad you enjoyed some of these!

[@gregorybrandenburger9457]

The only one I've played on this list is Foregone and I absolutely loved it. It is an amazing game that I was able to platinum. I have had an eye on Gun Crazy, but never went ahead and bought it.

[@IDreamofIndie]

High five to our fellow Foregone fan! We are small but mighty!!

[@JackShore-jr9vt]

Pushy and pully looks great!

[@IDreamofIndie]

It is great! 😃

[@j0ecaca628]

I love Thy Sword, bought it a year ago. Passed it with my girlfriend, good times.

[@nigelcrasto]

Lithium City 😍😍😍🤩🤩

[@mrdee2454]

Another crabs treasure was an indie and my GOTY

[@ophidianmind333]

Inmost is the only one on the list that I have played, but a rather enjoyed that one and I'll have to check out more of these. Thy Sword looks like it would be the game that Genesis owners hoped Dark Castle would be from looking at still images of the game instead of the steaming pile they actually got by purchasing the game.

[@joegt123]

I don't think I've even HEARD of any of those. Maybe one or two.

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

Hey, I got Pushy & Pulley on my Xbox! I didn't play it alot (I feel like the save system was bugged, so every time I came back to it I had to start from the first stage and that was annoying), but I liked it regardless. It really is charming... I should probably get back to it at some point; not enough fun arcadey puzzlers come out these days Never heard of Inmost - probably because it looks like its not on Xbox or Playstation - but definitely intrigued now. When/if it hits more platforms, I'll be sure to check it out. Sydney Hunter looks like my jam though. I'll probably get around to playing that sooner rather than later - I'm on a bit of a retro kick atm, but I'm currently working through the Cyber Citizen Shockman series now that Ratalaika has just released the fourth and final entry, Shockman Zero. Next time I fire up my Xbox, I'll be sure to add it to the wishlist though Thanks for the recommendations IDOI!

[@IDreamofIndie]

Happy to help!

[@marcelluslongus1202]

Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan reminds me somehow of the good old Rick Dangerous.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Thanks for the comment and watching!

[@TheBluestank]

Great list. I played Inmost on Switch, loved the game but the performance was quite bad, just FYI

[@IDreamofIndie]

Good to know people should avoid the switch version, we never played that one!

[@Ranemoraken]

I remember passing on Thy Sword because it looked too simple to pick up even though the price is only a couple bucks on sale. I do agree that Foregone was a fun game, though I would highlight that the game is more an action platformer than a castlevania - as the levels were quite linear as my memory recalls. I think there's backtracking for collectibles... but I'm a bit fuzzy. A good pick. Roki is on PS Extra right now, if anyone wants to try it. Hadn't heard about Pushy and Pully or Sydney Hunter. Both are interesting and the former is on sale on PSN. Probably will pick it up on a whim. I strongly disagree on Evan's Remains. There are few games that I simply cannot recommend, and that is one. The art is nice, and it handles well... However: that story is nonsense after nonsense, flying off the rails into a canyon. I don't remember a game with that many narrative non-sequitors. The gameplay puzzle-platforming sections are too few and far too simple/easy for the amount of story. If one or the other was good, I could recommend it. Though, you could play it if you wanted to deconstruct how it goes wrong. All-in-all, it's a 3 hour game, so you won't have to make a big investment. If I had to pick an obscure analog to replace Evan's Remains... I'd pick.... hmmmm...The Pedestrian or Gabbuchi. I'd pick VVVVV or Fez, but those are a bit too known. Hard to replace a story in a puzzle platformer (most games don't bother). Oh! I suppose you could also play "The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories." That one is a solid puzzle platformer, although morbid, with a story that's interesting (whether it's good is another matter.) Yeah, that's my pick.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Awesome comment thanks for sharing all of this!

[@bearisland638]

Röki ❤

[@razorbackroar]

Let’s gooo

[@RiggsHB]

Roki was ok. Inmost was fun. Foregone was ehhh but Sydney Hunter was fantastic. Loved that game so much.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Awesome that you played some of these!

Pretty interesting stats thanks!

[@razorbackroar]

Hey bro bro can you please put the console each game is on at the top right or bottom please.

[@IDreamofIndie]

If you check out where each game starts the consoles are listed on the card!

[@NoSpamForYou]

If only Plants vs Zombies had experimented with a Bomberman/Pengo gameplay style like Pushy Pully instead of going 3D 3rd person shooter. Such a let down.
