Paleo Pines💕💕🌷🌷

[@renciz1377]

You are BREAKING my heart!!!!! You didn't include "Goodbye Volcano High". That was the best game I've ever played in years.

[@SlipperySoap]

My brother plays Pizza Tower!

[@edwardhulse]

Well at least SOMEONE knows that Dave the Diver is NOT an indie game (unlike a certain game awards that is) Thanks for being diligent with your research MojoPlays!

[@SoftworksJellyPebbles]

They did their research 😂

[@edwardhulse]

@@SoftworksJellyPebbles well… they did. Dave the Diver is not in this video cause it’s not an indie. The Game Awards jury were the ones in the wrong for not being thorough enough. MojoPlays actually made an effort. What more can I say?

[@chrisandreas3142]

Yeah, its triple A blockbuster Game. *facepalm*

[@kenkesin509f4]

I haven't been playing that many Indie Games myself, but the one indie title I enjoyed playing this year is WrestleQuest. It is a fusion of RPGs with professional wrestling with cameos of legendary wrestlers and fans like Mega Ran, Andre the Giant, Sgt. Slaughter and Booker T. That game deserves some attention.

[@Rage-td9wv]

Yes, I put like 20 something hours into it but didn't finish it. It's a great niche game for those that love 80s wrestling.

[@Phanthief95]

I ended up playing Sea of Stars on a whim and oh my God, it’s one of the best games I’ve played this year. Also, we all need a friend like Garl.

[@PokeGuy6]

I loved playing Cassette Beasts, such an underrated gem! The music and story is amazing!

[@dmg326]

it’s a shame my friendly neighborhood didn’t go viral because it for sure deserved to

[@Bluestar-bh3bf]

If it was available on other platforms it might’ve gotten more attention

[@MattAndPock-uk7tz]

what do you mean, I thought everyone loved that game

[@Chadjr2009]

My Friendly Neighborhood is a very good Mascot First-Person Survival Horror game I did play this year. Including its then-new survival mode in their major update.

[@mikiethegamer6315]

I like the soundtrack in pizza tower

[@NightFangClash]

Cassette Beasts is a good game. I haven't played it myself, but from the gameplay I've seen, it looks like a game I need to get. I'm glad it appeared on this list.

[@cdkeycientertainment2050]

Hello, the indie game named Compass of Destiny: Istanbul, which is currently in early access, will be released as a full version on December 14, 2023. We would be happy if you include it on your channel.

[@ARTSONICFAN990]

Im surprised you didn't mention Killer Frequency.

[@PopMusicKiller]

Already A better list than the TGA picks.

[@ianinthehouse364]

Pleh! is a gem of a game that hits hard emotionally. It’s a free game that’s flying totally under the radar and should get more recognition- best game I’ve played all year

[@TRGamesTR]

Hello, the indie game named Compass of Destiny: Istanbul, which is currently in early access, will be released as a full version on Steam on December 14, 2023. We would be happy if you include it on your channel. Thanks.

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

3:30 the line is straight out of Rayman 3

[@Omar-ok7gd]

Never heard of Cassette Beast ... looks interesting and my type of game .... thanks mojoplays

[@Leopez02]

My FAVOURITE Indie game what I've been played in this AMAZING Year of a Videogame 2023 is that Casette Beasts, it's funny how a Monsger Tamer games what aren't Pokémon are even BETTER than what Pokémon games are today. Casette Beasts old 8-bit retro-style pixel-art is so NICE, Monster designes looks GOOD, story is INTERESTING, there's a VOICEACTING on that game what Pokémon didin't have even now Year 2023 and Casette Beasts MUSIC and SINGING are really BEAUTIFUL. LOVE Casette Beasts. Another Indie game of 2023 what i'm interested and excited is Bomb-Rush Cyberfunk, it looks really COOL Jet Jet Radio-like action skating and graffity game. Been thinking buying it on Nintendo Switch, I have Pc and PS5 where it is too but i'm more interested of playing it on Nintendo Switch. As a FAN of old retro-style 2D action platformer games, Gal Guardians: Demon Purge looks really AWESOME game too. Indie games are THE BEST! ❤😊

[@campk2732]

Just in case someone is looking for game he mentions while talking about "Batboy", the name of the game is not "Galaxy circuit" but "Gravity Circuit". Apart from that lapsus, really nice vid!

[@velinfransiscahuang7033]

Idealistic & not commercially!! Indie games entities 😉👍🏻

[@vitorbispo1248]

Dredge is my personal Game of the Year

[@RafaelLuna99]

I immediately thought of Batman as a kid when he said, "Bat Boy"

[@Mcp3nny]

Tape to Tape was great. Lots of great games on this list

[@IonMario94]

No Turbo Overkill? It literally has a Metascore of 91 and extremely positive reviews on Steam

[@YuniorGamboa]

Cocoon was a blast to play. Love the puzzles and how simple yet beautiful the world looks

[@317GUY]

Lethal company is my favorite game of the year

[@christophermarshall2362]

Pizza Tower is hilarious! And Gal Guardians Demon Purge is great!

[@SoftworksJellyPebbles]

Definitely 😁

[@BrendanAlborino]

‘Paleo Pines’ is nowhere to be seen, is watchmojo even aware the game exists

[@Mariobro4]

A bit early on this Paleo pines but yeah, I'm liking it.

[@sheemalmighty]

Killer Frequency is underrated

[@mattalan6618]

Bomb Rush reminds me of Jet Set

[@controladortv]

Sanabi was my best Indie Game alongside with Sea of Stars

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

If you don't play Cocoon you feel like a baboon

[@pawelkicman]

Where the hell is Slay the Princess?! :O

[@BlackHammer0891]

Dat puppet game needed more direction to keep my attention. Adults have jobs and there are too many other options in our catalogue with clear objectives. And that’s not always will a blinking red arrow, it’s often through game design PRACTICALLY

[@geokorf]

Chants of Sennaar and Jusant one of the best!

[@OutofWaters]

Dave the diver was great too

[@Hollobaby1231]

not an indie but a fantastic game deff

[@Rage-td9wv]

Gunbrella not getting any love? I really enjoyed that game. Also, did Nuclear Blaze come out this year or was that last year?

[@DBoy2029]

I describe Bat Boy as "Shovel Knight meets Ninja Baseball Bat Man".

[@RedOutlaw1911]

Dredge is mine

[@kingofswing3000]

Cocoon is perfection. Not unlike Limbo and Inside.

[@PedramDoesStuff198455]

6:36 Isn’t cocoon not an indie game? (Yes I’m looking at you game awards) Considering Anna Purna is headquartered in LA and is worth millions of dollars

[@mjdf122]

Sea of Stars

[@joedunleavy841]

FYI it's called Gravity Circuit, not Galaxy Circuit

[@jasonbriceno3483]

Gravity circuit*

[@sakon10]

Agreed.

[@maykonalberto7901]

Blasphemous 2 not even in honorable mention, I'm shocked

[@DjebbZ]

Cocoon

[@derpip4325]

missing dave the diver in here

[@pl8yr]

Mojo rly needa put timestamps on these videos icl 😂

[@spectrebull]

Why

[@josuearanzazu8607]

Don't you find it ironic that pizza tower came after cocoon in the list if you know what I referring to *ahem game awards *ahem

[@mariorendon1483]

I just got here, before playing the video, I hope Dave the Diver doesn’t make the cut in this list

[@controladortv]

It's GRAVITY circuit

[@markarend8226]

No timestamps?

[@cadearcher2258]

*Gravity Circuit

[@Atrus999]

Vertigo 2 didn't make it on the list? It's just about as good as a Valve game and was mostly made by one person.

[@AntoniePereira]

Pizza tower was not recommended by David Jaffe

[@blackwealthmatters]

Legends Bowl🏉🏆
