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.

“Papers, Please” got robbed, too.

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.
PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 3 weeks ago
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.

“Yeah, I’m into Indie games… you’ve probably never heard of them.”
muhyb@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
Oh my, I didn’t even match the numbers. It’s someone else’s list. Still viable though. :)
PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 3 weeks ago
Yeah, they are both good lists.
Also, Cunningham’s Law. I totally ignored the person who simply asked for the information.
muhyb@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
Hahaha, true dat.

How is Bastion on neither of these lists??
