Nice list.
I’ll add 9th Dawn III to that list. Great game made by one person.
Always Sometimes Monster is made by two people technically, but let’s do an honorable mention.
I’d add HABROXIA 1 & 2 on here as well. Berry does pixel wonders with the Game Maker engine.

Technically speaking Minecraft should have been on the list. But it's nice to see these single devs thrive.
Theyr is no game made by one man. Theyr is always a team of developers behind them.
However there is always someone who comes up with the idea of a game.
When i would give an example of one man with that idea for me its Hideo Kojima....
No there are certainly games made by 1 person, start to finish. Maybe after it launches and becomes a big enough success the 1 person will reach out for help maintaining it or updating, but games have been made by 1 person.
Unless of course you are being insanely nit-picky and trying to claim "the engine they used was made by Unity" or "the assets they put in were made by someone else"
lol no name site aka give me hits please hahaha
Franchises are getting milked for all they're worth it's killing the meaning of the games. So sick of every IP needing 10 sequels, 19 prequels, and 3 crappy handheld spinoffs.
Indie games are great but, a lot of them fail on one basic factor.
Production Values.
Just because you have a great idea, doesn't mean you don't need to also make a great game around it.
Indie games are nice and all, but indie devs and most people that play their games are just hipsters hating the big boys of the gaming industry.
In the end, the indie game industry doesn't even matter. When all those devs no longer have any ideas, money, or "Innovation", they will go to work in one of the big video game corporations they hate so much, and make a real living from there. Who knows? They can become bosses one day and make games with an actual budget and equipment. They'll be living their dream for once...
Indie games are a nice thing to have in this industry, but they're just a fad.
I think the hit ratio (i guess 1 in every 8 games released is quite good) is about the same as big name releases, so its hard to say one is better than the other.
Someone above mentioned production value, which is probably the best thing about the bigger guns, not many games are broken, but they can also "generally" afford to fix them if they are too. Just look at FEZ. No $ so cant afford to update :(
But I like the indie games, you probably wouldnt see most of them if they could only be released through a big developer. Imagine trying to convince a publisher that a piece of meat.... that is a boy..... is trying to get his bandages girlfriend back from an evil ... thing... hahaha.
