Most Important Indie Game Of Every Year Since 2008

Hotline Miami is a prime example of providing a fresh experience to a known formula by using its bold aesthetic to emphasize the gameplay. The bright neon lights, fast movement, and excellent soundtrack slam players with a wave of adrenaline which feeds back into the high-octane action of the gameplay. It’s dedication to the aesthetic of 1980’s America also provided an introspective look into the ultra-violence that permeated pop culture at the time. It’s that blend of tight and memorable gameplay with a nuanced commentary on its subject matter that made it so special and inspired a wave of 80s inspired ga

Forget about the gun without a mag, as it is most likely that you would miss some of those 13 shots. Nevertheless, if you manage to upgrade this gun with the right attachments fully, you will have a lethal gun in your hands that could take enemies out before they get the chance to re

If you’re looking for a weapon that can spit lead out at an incredible rate of fire , this is it. Before you rush to the game in search of this monstrous SMG, you should understand that the Extended QuickDraw magazine will provide you with 25 bull

School has long been a favorite among players. The fact that famous streamers like Shroud used to drop here very often contributed significantly to its popularity while also demonstrating its importance. This three-story building is not a spot for players wanting to take their time while looting for a perfect se

While it may be too early to say what 2021’s most important indie game is, Valheim is certainly proving itself capable of potentially taking the title. Even though it still hasn’t officially released, Valheim has been praised for its survival system and polished world. This is especially important given that a game developed by 5 people is managing so much positive press prior to an official release, while AAA studios still sometimes struggle with game systems even after launch. As it continues its development, Valheim certainly __ has the potential to bet yet another indie title that comes to define a genre, something indie games are increasingly able to

What’s crazy is that coming into God of War , my expectations weren’t that high. Personally, I didn’t care for the original God of War games on PS2, PS3, and PSP. While everything that I had seen of this new iteration of Kratos greatly interested me, I still knew that deep down I had no great love for this character. Now, I think Kratos is one of my favorite characters in the history of video games, and God of War likely stands somewhere amongst my 5 or 10 favorite games ever made.

For being over twenty years old, it’s amazing just how much the mechanics of Asuka 120% hold up all of this time later. The game’s small roster of characters all feel incredibly balanced, each boasting their own unique playstyles and moves — shoutout to baseball girl (I don’t know her real name). While I only played Asuka 120% for about a three-day span over the course of one weekend, it was some of the most exciting, pure fun that I’ve had playing any video game with friends this year.

The only downside to the deployment of patch 13.2 is the lengthy amount of downtime that will come with it. According to the official Twitter account for PUBG patch notes , the servers will be down for a total of 8 hours to

Every year, I’ll get bitten by maybe one multiplayer game that I’ll play endlessly with a group of my friends for about a month or two straight before bouncing off of it and never really returning. In 2018, that game ended up being PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds which I played probably close to every single night in the months of January and February this year. Even though I was playing on the crummy Xbox One version, I still loved every minute of my time with what is factually the best battle royale shooter.

Also, shoutout to Rainbowdragoneyes for The Messenger’s phenomenal soundtrack that I’m still bumping constantly months after release. The way in which the music transitions between 8-bit and 16-bit sound effects is still one of the single coolest things I’ve seen in a game all year. I could keep going on about how much I love this game but I’ll just keep things succinct and stress you to pick it up for yourself. I promise that you won’t be disappointed.

In-Game FPS cap: For this one, you need to know your monitor’s refresh rate . Set your FPS cap to the highest refresh rate your monitor could manage . Remember that setting it lower will result in lower performance when the PC has more FPS to g

I said in my review of Shadow of the Colossus earlier this year that it was likely one of the best remakes ever made. About ten months later, I still vehemently believe this to be true. The graphical work that Bluepoint Games was able to accomplish in Shadow of the Colossus still astounds me and I really do think it might be one of the prettiest video games ever. Not only is the game gorgeous though, but I’m glad that one of gaming’s greatest achievement has now been made all the easier to revisit.
