Six Under The Radar Indie Games | August 2024

[@chekote]

I really appreciate the fact that you mention the game name at the end of the section! I have a big problem with losing track of what game people are talking about in most videos. They mention it at the start then never say the name again, and instead just say “this game” or something similar from that point. Thank you! 🙏

@@chekote yeah me too, so I'm happy that worked out for ya :)

[@ZeepANation]

I was literally going to mention this as well, suuuuuuper helpful for someone like me that has ADHD and the memory of a goldfish

[@jeremyusreevu237]

I played Thank Goodness You're Here. It's an amazing game, and I can't wait to play it again. As for the other games, One Button Bosses is already on my list, and Phantom Spark looks cool. Just added it to my Wishlist

[@GamingInTheWild]

There's a free game that's very short called The Good Time Garden that I recommend too by the TGYH devs :) super gross

[@jeremyusreevu237]

@@GamingInTheWild Oh yeah, I've played The Good Time Garden. It was also a solid game, didn't know it was made by the same people.

[@Ravenlock]

The chimney gag in Thank Goodness You're Here is one of the best repeating goofs in a game I've maybe ever seen. 😂

[@surrendering2within]

Looking forward to Flintlock. Watching Thank Goodness You’re Here letsplays has been great fun!

It's only in early access (edit: also definitely not under the radar lol, but it is indie), but Fields of Mistria dropped earlier this month and it's so much fun! I feel like we've gotten a lot of farming sims in the last few years that promise a lot but come out undercooked, but even in EA Fields of Mistria already feels pretty complete (for what's there at least -- some elements clearly aren't there yet). I can't wait to see it keep developing, and even now I've already dropped about 15 hours in it :)

[@GamingInTheWild]

I'm not a big farming game guy but people are *so* hot on Mistria, I gotta give it a try

[@MrBobTrufant]

Not sure if you've covered it but Thronefall is a great indie worth spotlighting

[@GamingInTheWild]

Thanks for the recco! What kind of thing?

[@RubyTraces]

Arco looks really interesting, I think the combination of genre, setting and art style is quite uncommon. Creatures of Ava might be one to keep in mind if I'm more in the mood for something cozy again.

[@GamingInTheWild]

Lemme know what you thought if you play!

Hey, Love the podcast. I've been listening to it for a while now and it is my go to game podcast. Keep up the good work, and I was wondering if you have played black myth wukong?

[@GamingInTheWild]

Thanks Amy! I haven't played Black Myth Wukong, maybe when it gets cheaper down the line. You're liking it?

[@amyforsyth7476]

@@GamingInTheWild I currently only have a Nintendo switch but plan to get a ps5 to play it soon. I have heard great things about the game and hope to play it right away. I am also looking forward to playing Stray, Ghost Of Tsushima, and others. By the way, about a year ago you did an episode on Meg's Monster. Great game!

[@goober7535]

hell yeah

[@aric.freire]

Did you saw Bloodless that will lauch on Aug, 29th?

[@GamingInTheWild]

@@aric.freire no I don't know that one! Something exciting?

[@aric.freire]

@@GamingInTheWild Its like Zelda Links Awakening top view + Sekiro's like parry combat with bare hands. Take a Look its gorgeous.

[@coentertainer]

Great video, but god you talk fast!

[@GamingInTheWild]

Haha funnily enough I speak much much slower on the podcast and I really have to try to hit this pace - but my KZbin experiments have shown that people keep watching if you jabber this way! Thanks for the feedback, I'll take my foot off the gas a bit next time. This is my more normal podcast cadence: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2m6m6CamLV_prMsi=xXCoV_aLMeW-2DA1

[@explogeek]

Literally every game review youtuber talks about "Thank Goodness You're Here", "under the radar" ahh

[@GamingInTheWild]

@@explogeek you'd be amazed - a lot of gamer internet folks I talk to haven't heard of it! The radar is subjective, of course.

[@fractal-dreamz]

@@explogeek just bc you know about it, doesn’t mean most do. if you don’t like it, just choose another vid. it’s not that hard broski
