    Best Indie Games for 2013 ?

    I quite like the look of this one , dont sure why - but I think it because it reminds of the noughties a bit, or maybe its just me.

    I'd not seen Gone Home before, looks interesting, just exploration and story, one to keep an eye on definitely.

    On my current list would have to be, Game Dev Tycoon and Papers please http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV-6YSye2Vo

    Re: Best Indie Games for 2013 ?

    Not sure about that one, does look nice, but I wonder how well it would translate to pc?

    Here's another one Stardrive a new 4X space game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xavZ6lipgrI glad to see this genera making a return

    Here's another that peeked my interest, Artemis, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naWwik-1aS4 a multiplayer startship bridge control simulator, think FTL in full 3d with multiple players each one controlling 1 crew member.
    So one person is captain, one is gunner, one is navigator, etc
    Granted you'll need a group of people who can work together and be online at the same time but that's a novel concept I've not seen before.

    Hmmm I like turn based more just now for my hands ,and as it feels more..unpredictable provided its more non linear..

    that said i got sick of wartune grind fast .. also lag is terrible for PVP

    heres one from the limbo creator.

    another that looks interesting

    And this one
    , which has unique stylish feel to it, thats becoming less unique these days

    Re: Best Indie Games for 2013 ?

    Oh yes forgot about Kentucky Route Zero, supposed to be a very good old style point and click adventure and looks good from the videos I've seen.

    Ooo nearly forgot, shadowrun returns http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=9MiMjQwd2VE#! it's not out yet but this is looking like it's going to be a buy for me.

    You can pre order Shadowrun on Steam now, its out in June :

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/234650/

    A game that caught my eye last night is a helicopter game called Thunder Wolves (available now), looks pretty cool and kind of reminds me of the old Arcade Game Thunderblade :

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chtVpGmhoZ4

    One that I am definitely wanting to get hold of when I next have some cash is Mars War Logs, looks like a decent game :

    Re: Best Indie Games for 2013 ?

    I just looked up thunder blade to see what you meant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I9G2gLYJ90 oh wow I'd forgotten about that one, but I do remember playing that in an arcade
    oh and from the gameplay trailer thunderwolves does look very arcadey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-HxbPtap8c

    edit: one thing that's really caught my eye about shadowrun reloaded, apart from the fact it's shadowrun, is that they are also including a level editor and it does sound like it's going to be very modable

    looks pretty run of the mill though.

    I love horror, so Outlast is high on my list. It looks quite good and I haven't had any really nice horror since Amnesia and to be honest, the Fatal Frame series on my PS2. The FEAR series was all right but the third simply fell flat.

    tried the demo for b2 - not bad but I hated the controls .

    I want something more like an rpg or mmorpg thats turn based - like Kings bounty sort of but faster battles like wartune.

    Re: Best Indie Games for 2013 ?

    I tried the beta of Automation recently.
    The game looks like it's along way off in truth so is probably going to end up a 2014 game.
    It's going to be a car company tycoon kind of game. But the beta is limited to engine challenges. Trying to get X power output for Y cost with Z emissions.
    I thought i'd give it a quick go and ended up lost for hours. Very addictive. Well worth a look for any car nuts.

    Also at steam in thier greenlight section.
