This game has been in development for several years, which means we can expect more than a few surprises as we explore a mysterious island. The Witness was developed by Jonathan Blow, the creator of the acclaimed Braid and one of the first indie developers to “make it,” reaping acclaim and notoriety off the strength of his work. Instead, Heart Machine wants to captivate us with two powerful tools commonly used in the SNES era-music and visuals. Aside from the attractive pixelated visuals, gamers are looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds given that no dialog will be spoken throughout the game.
Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D action RPG heavily inspired by classic 8-bit and 16-bit titles.
Being developed by many former Rare members who worked on the best games of that time, including Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64, it’s no surprise why gamers can’t wait for this indie platformer to release. Yooka-Laylee is a love letter to those titles by providing a vibrant world with colorful characters. Those of us who grew up in the Nintendo 64 and PS1 days have fond memories of exploring 3D worlds for the first time. Sold as a “first-person experience” with no violent gameplay, gamers are looking forward to see how Adr1ft sucks them into its dark, scary world. Alone and in space, you must figure out a way to return home while piecing together the events that caused such a horrific incident. Imagine being an astronaut who has lost his memory and finds himself floating among the wreckage of a destroyed space station. Whether you’re just a fan or plan to work on your own small project one day, it’s always cool seeing what passionate indie developers are cooking up for gamers next.
