Wccftech takes a look at 2017's best indie games in what has been yet another fantastic year for smaller studios, both in terms of quantity and quality of their output.
Admittedly, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is far from perfect and won't be a game for everyone, but now with a multitude of accessibility options it has made itself much more palatable for a wider audience, and with constant sale prices between $2-$4, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is too good to pass up for a unique experience that has stood the test of time and will do so once more with its even more robust and epic sequel.
The Hellblade games looked nice but they were essentially walking simulators with a minimal amount of combat tracked on.
And Pistol Whip, Secret Agent Clank and more launch on PlayStation Plus Premium.
Night in the Woods is a lovely little indie graphic adventure. Alec Holowka conceptualised the game, the story and characters and made the beautiful music and was effectively murdered by the woke video game journalists who dog piled on top of him following false allegations.
This is one of the reasons I can’t stand most of these people, because they have no understanding of journalistic ethics which led to this poor man taking his own life.

Under Water and Chernobylite are great gets. I also really enjoyed Road 96.
Yea, this is actually a really good month.
These are games that are well regarded and have been highly praised.
I haven't played Road 96, but it seems like something i'd enjoy, I'm definitely going to give it a try.
For once it's a great month for Premium users:
Mr Mosquito is an hidden gem from the Ps2 era
Agent Clank is a great PSP game just like Pistol whip for VR.
But what a drag for extra users...
Still I Ill give The Plucky Squire a go ( and it's day 1 too)
The Metroidvania genre has captivated gamers for decades! Discover the best Metroidvania games of all time.
blasphemous 1 for me.
i love the artstyle and how they didnt shy away from their imagery
but symphony of the night is also superb
Catlevanias GBA and DS games are the best! But there others that I like a lot such as Hollow Knight, Chasm etc
As much as I want Silksong, adding it to the BEST is a little premature. It's not even out yet.
Rime is great, just not on the Switch
Good to see Rime mentioned after what these guys went through.
Steam world dig 2, cuphead, and golf story were my favorites.
