As far as mini-game-fueled indies go, the amount of silly lighthearted fun in Drink More Glurp certainly makes it a stand-out title.
It's a simple game at its core but the amount of variety within Headsnatchers makes its gameplay shine as a must-have multiplayer romp.
I wish Dunk Lords featured streamlined gameplay because there's certainly a fun formula here but it's buried under complex mechanics.
It's a capable multiplayer funfest yet Aeolis Tournament's core gameplay could use more variety to help keep it fresh and exciting.
I didn't enjoy the intentionally clumsy gameplay of Brunch Club and neither did my gaming chums yet it surely has a promising premise.
It's not the most fleshed out multiplayer indie but Gerrrms still provides some good times through its intuitive and enjoyable setup.
Ultra Foodmess is a fantastic multiplayer game for kids who are looking for intuitive and accessible yet ultimately frantic gameplay.
After playing Demon's Tilt for a while, I wanted to dive back into the 1990 classic Devil's Crush. Although this is a very well-done experience, it doesn't quite live up to the classics that Compile created decades prior.
The Wonderful 101: Remastered is indeed wonderful with its action-packed campaign and highly enjoyable gameplay. As if that's not enough, there's an underlying message that I'm sure we could all use right now.
I have a big soft spot for trains and puzzle games and Locomotion combines both into a very innovative and enjoyable campaign.
Forming words while saving folks is a surprisingly fun formula and Highrise Heroes: Word Challenge provides satisfying puzzle gameplay.
Surviving Nowhere Prophet's grueling world offers laidback gameplay but that is unfortunately undercut with some frustrating moments.
Its dated and clunky visuals and simplistic gameplay make Country Tales a relaxing albeit hard to thoroughly enjoy experience.
As one of the most visually unique indies out there, I recommend playing Hotel Sowls although its campaign isn't all that challenging.
Brightstone Mysteries: Paranormal Hotel is a solid adventure game and one of Cateia Games' most unique offerings. I recommend it.
Tales from the Dragon Mountain: The Strix is a retro adventure game that's a bit too old-school at times yet it remains fairly rewarding.
Casting spells to take out hordes of monsters in between hilarious cutscenes makes Wizards: Wand of Epicosity a fantastic fun-filled indie.
Hilarious premise aside, Double Kick Heroes is a solid albeit simple rhythm game with a great soundtrack that you can rock out to.
The silly hand-drawn animations in Cruel Bands Career really amplify its unconventional gameplay and it's certainly worth experiencing.
Simply put, if Skully featured a lot more fine-tuning and forgivable gameplay then it would have been a must-play 3D platformer.
