Overall, the gaming industry has seen many shifts the past decades with the majority of solid 2D titles ceasing to hit the shelves. Hardcore 2D fans will never forget the likes of Castlevania, Metroid, Contra, and several other titles that captured the hearts of young gamers (and some old) everywhere. So, now that most of us have grown up into an age of a Call of Duty cloned “surreal action shooter” filled market, you would think a new 2D platformer would fail to appease gamers. If you had your doubts, you are wrong. Humble Hearts, a primarily one man team, has just released one of the most refreshing side-scrollers to hit the Live Arcade. If you want to know what real gaming is like, this title can easily show it to you.
It's right that we recognize the 12 best indie games of the eight generation of gaming. It would be remiss to ignore the impact they've had.
Hollow Knight was a masterpiece. I cared less for the arena combat (Gods, not in the in-game arena) but everything was tight and the exploration was extremely enjoyable. Absolute masters of their craft in level design. I hope Silk Song gives the bees a second chance since their area was only a short subsection.
Mick Doherty has put together a list of indie games that, in his humble opinion, you need to play at least once in your life.
These are games made by a single developer. Serving as proof that you don't need millions of dollars and a team of people to make a amazing game.
Love this game! Good review.
