The 15 BEST Indie Games of 2023 (That You Should Play) 

Neither is Hi-Fi Rush

@@noobestofdamall also correct

and its not pc exclusive, we have it on switch. 10/10 game btw i'm loving it

So don't recommend it as indie

HIFI RUSH is not an Indie Game too

Legend! Sea of stars looks amazing. Ill add the others to my list!

Support Cassette Beasts, a godot engine game!

May I suggest deep rock galactic? I've recently got it on sale and I cannot stop playing it. Easily the best indie game I've ever played.

Check out Killer Frequency in that case! Its one of my standouts this year!

Check out Killer Frequency in that case! Its one of my standouts this year!

Let me know if you do! Would love to hear

I gotta get me a stream deck

Meatgrinder is really short and hasnt had as many updates as I was hoping so- do take note of that

Thank you! I'll try!

Any time! Thanks for watching

Another Dredge enjoyer, I respect it.

Can't wait to see it cook a bit longer! Going to to be really bloody cool by the tiem they're done

Thanks! Appreciate that

Dude I am waiting for AA too, it is coming to next fest if u don't know

Have a look at The Last Faith might be up your alley too

Haha... meatgrinder can be an exception

Its a captivating experience

Eyy cheers mate. Miss ya

@@PHIZZI miss you as well old friend hope you been well! See you at pax

That I will!

Thank you! It means a lot!

Ah yeah! Talked about that in coop!

Enjoy!

I don't necessarily always purchase them thanks to review codes or platforms like keymailer

yep! Elegy for the Rings- I use it a bit because... i love it

Signalis is super good! Glad you enjoyed it

Ive been doing it with the newer videos as per recommendations (when I have the time!)

by god it worked

Writing might be a turn off for me but perhaps ill give it a look!

This video was out a bit before it! Otherwise itd probably be here

It was also in viewfinder

At the beginning he said the list is in no particular order, otherwise I would agree:)

@@maxh.7546 sorry I only skimmed through the video 😭

I do think the first was better. The 2nd is still good but not quite the same i agree

It may be hard to beat... its also the highest meta critic score kf any indie so far too I think this year, so people clearly agree

@@PHIZZI Dave the Diver is definitely not an indie game. It had a multi-million dollar budget and was made by one of the biggest studios in Asia

Oh god, wouldnt even have 15

5?@@PHIZZI

Yeahhh, didnt get any time on it myself so had to leave it off

Turbo overkill

@@regzator Trueee, that game is bloody fast fun

Silksong gonna dominate this list when it comes out

Considering hollow knight is... no#2 all time indie for me, YUP@@sdmg.4

@@PHIZZIi have never met someone else with the nickname Phizzy. Its been my nickname since I was 2 lol and I was convinced I was the only one

It very well may make a good case for it

Right?! It was so pleasant... and not

Yeah upon further reflection, I agree.

Even a ai chat bot agrees 👍

"Dave the Diver" is not considered an indie game. It is a casual, single-player adventure RPG developed and published by MintRocket. While it is self-published, it has the backing of MintRocket and Nexon, which makes it not independently published. On the other hand, "Hi-Fi Rush" is also not considered an indie game. It is a rhythm-based action game developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks. Although it may have a smaller budget compared to AAA titles, it is not classified as an indie game.

Oh it'll probably be there by the end of the year

Used... quite a few more than just cassette beasts, but thats one

@@PHIZZI cassette beasts is the best monster tamer currently available, it needs to be said.

Is that a bad thing? That’s a extremely good thing to me

@@MochaSlushes nah if it was a abd thing i would have said "eww cassette beasts music, that games trash" when in fact cassette beasts is the best monster tamer game there is.

@@Subzerd Very True

Helll yeah

lol

Yep, I am well aware of that now

@@PHIZZI apart from that, great video bro

@@Moonshr00m cheers! Dave frees up a spot for the top list at the end of the year :)

Yep, they're not an indie (bit late to change it here but opens up a spot for me end of year list)

What are the safest places there? I really want to find a job there

@@jasonkandahq1003 safety level is the same as any other country, in big cities there are more people so more opportunity to run into the bad actors, smaller cities and towns come with their own problems like anywhere else, i would suggest visiting america first before moving to get an idea of where you want to plant yourself but personally i moved to the west coast from the east coast and it was the best decision i ever made

@@danielbaker1510 It's a joke, I've been to America.

Obviously

If you read reddit your country is a literal warzone, the funny thing is that those people are probably the ones destroying it with their ideology, like here in western Europe

Wasnt out as of this point

Seeing as the studio themselves claim they are not an indie studio, I agree
