PlayStation Plus has played a crucial role in ensuring the popularity of some of the indie games we enjoy today. This article examines two games whose success stories are intertwined with PlayStation Plus.
From AAA to Indie: The Changing Landscape of Gaming. Indie Games Take Center Stage Amidst AAA Fatigue. But, has the market become too crowded?
Eh, It would be better if we talked about specific genres instead of treating the indie market as a singular entity
Personally I'm kinda done with roguelikes and I feel that there's too many of them
Not by a long shot, you still have to sift through a lot of mediocre titles, but there are plenty of gems there, and room for even more now that people are buying less AAA games.
“Another month has passed us by and during it, many incredible indie games released so let's celebrate the 12 best from March 2024.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Palworld is already a monstrous successs, but it's not the only game to suddenly blow up . Here are five other fairly recent games that did the same.
If we look at two cases and how PS Plus helped games like Rocket League and Fall Guys then yes it's safe to say indies and PS+ is a match in heaven.
That’s not necessarily always true. Sure it had success stories Rocket League and Fall Guys but there was also multiplayer indie games that failed to garner a huge audience like Drawn to Death
I would be more onboard if we were still getting 6 games per month, but with just two, i kinda want them to go for big games cause there's a lot of bad indie games these days. I love indie games, but indie scene is full of garbage now, too much to sift through to find the gems these days.
Grow Home and Xenodrifter were my favorites this gen. Or they were the only two indie titles I played on PS+ all gen and therefore cant remember any others.......
Unless the game was something to forget. If the game was a success it was because it had all the elements in the right position. Other games were horrible, even if "made famous" thanks to PS+. And so they failed.
PS+ was the Trojan Horse, sure it helped (or at least tried to help).
