It came to Steam this yearWasn't N++ last fall?
Each mission is precise tactile strike, a blend of macro strategy and tense combat from within your sleek cockpit.
There are no map to travel, no trading or hangars to buy a better fleet, no smaller jobs to build up your reputation. House of the Dying Sun has stripped away the time-consuming aspects of the genre to focus on its strongest aspect: interstellar dogfights with touch of fleet tactics. In the hand-crafted campaign, you can order the ships in your fleet to defend, attack, zero in on your marked target, and so on, before seamlessly switching to one of your interceptors.
These fighters are fast and agile, able to maintain momentum while turning on their axes to fire at pursuers with missiles, torpedoes, kinetic autocannons, flechette spreadshot, and other high-powered weaponry. The combat oozes atmosphere due to stellar sound design: your weapons unleash muted rumbles and thuds with each shot, mechanisms whir and hiss when you reload, as wingmen chatter emanates from tinny speakers and your pilot's breaths rasps from his oxygen mask.
Is Aragami any good?
Indie games have been consistently doing well for years, but this is the first one where it was weaker than the year before for me.
Lots of discussion about 2016 being "year of the shooter" or "year of the jrpg" and now maybe "year of the indie?" It has been a great year. But for some reason I have spent most of the year playing older games. This year is going to extend my backlog something fierce.
Came out on PC this yearSteamWorld Heist came out last year
What kinds of games/genres do you like?Ever since I played ori and the blind forest, not many things have come close.
If you guys had to recommend 5 indies from that list what would it be? And not undertale..I put 2 hours into it and stopped, it's too primitive for me.
SteamWorld Heist came out last year
I cant recommend Enter the Gungeon enough for fans of Roguelikes. It filled an empty void left by Binding of Isaac.
It's out on Early Access, so it technically released this yearWhy is Tides of Numenera in that list? It's slated for Q1 2017.

Didn't realize this is out...or that it was being made. Just not on steam? Can't find it.I like Rocketbirds 2,.
I put in a dozen enjoyable hours into NT, but could never get past 5-3, or whatever it is. Great game.Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne are my time waster games. I won't get super far in them, but damn if I don't love the fifteen or twenty minutes I put into them in between other things.
I'm open to all things but...I don't like things like gone home, stardew valley and undertale. I thought the witness was just ok..
Generally speaking I have a hard time connecting with games that visually look like they belong in the early 90s ala stardew valley.
I LOVED inside, firewatch, and ori.
I think I like visually beautiful platformers the most.

There is an Indie Games thread for every month:Where/how do I keep up with all those indies getting released?
On PS4 this year sucked for indies. Usually have 5 or so indies on my top 10 GOTY but this year maybe 1 or 2. Indies on PS4 stagnated with the same old roguelikes, puzzle games and depressing walking simulators.
