Didn’t watch but pulled this from a comment under the video:
1) Hollow Knight
2) Cuphead
3) Deep Rock Galactic
4) Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps
5) Dead Cells
6) Tunic
7) Fez
8) Ender Lilies
9) Animal Well
10) Bendy and the Ink Machine / Dark Revival
11) Celeste
12) Hyper Light Drifter
13) A Hat in Time
14) Little Nightmares (both games)
15) Cocoon
Yeah, that’s why I like it. It is a well-informed list that still communicates good information. Presumably a lot of people who would find themselves watching this video already would know that Celeste is good.
Blasphemous 2
I do not agree that the second is better than the first after playing one after another, but that might be because the way the store evolved made the bosses less interesting to me on the second game.
This is a better list than the actual list probably 😅 Not having hollow knight or cuphead on the actual list is pretty insane and it is much more of a “non-mainstream best indie games” list
Thanks to AAA companies (also AAAA one) being shit, we live in the golden age of indies. So many great and niche games out there. I would definitely put Obra Dinn in this list.

That’s not the actual list although it’s a perfectly accurate list. I liked this video because it was highly focused on some less well-known titles.

Why title it "of All Time" though 😅 Helps with engagement, I suppose.
Also, fuck Japan, I guess, haha.

While I agree with the criticisms of this list, it does have 2 of my favourite games of all time (Tunic and Crosscode) so I dub it based as hell.

“Yeah, I’m into Indie games… you’ve probably never heard of them.”

Oh my, I didn’t even match the numbers. It’s someone else’s list. Still viable though. :)
PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 1 month ago
Yeah, they are both good lists.
Also, Cunningham’s Law. I totally ignored the person who simply asked for the information.

How is Bastion on neither of these lists??

Where is Disco Elysium on all these lists? 🤨
