We asked a bunch of our regular writers to tell us what their five favourite games this year were. Today it’s the turn of Alyse Stanley, who’s picked a brace of lovely indie weirdness for you
It s been a pretty stinking great year for indie games. We ve seen the release of several long-hyped darlings (finally) as well as a few surprise hits that went on to dominate newsfeeds. You easily could have missed them, though, what with all the big budget map fest games making huge waves this year. I know there are about a million games demanding your attention right now, but if you have some time over the holidays, each of these titles experiments with or otherwise builds on their genres in a way that stands out amidst all the noise.
