Video Gamers Podcast · The MOST ANTICIPATED Indie Games of 2025 - Gaming Podcast · 12 Mar 2025 podcast

Yeah, dude, I'm so stoked to be joining for this episode in particular. Ace and I chat a lot offline about this, but I think probably out of everybody who speaks on this show, Ace and me probably have the closest, most aligned sort of game tastes. And when I was looking at my most anticipated games of the year, basically they're all indies. So this is going to be awesome.

Well, dude, I have such a like perfect example of this too. I'm like a Marvel ride or die kind of guy. And my wife and I went to go see Brave New World, the new Captain America movie. And super cool fight choreography. And I like simp for Captain America so hard. Like, you could put him in anything and I'd watch it, basically. But, bro, it seems like the bigger budget stuff...

there's like this weird situation where it just all becomes like the same. Like when the MCU was young, like each brand within it had its kind of own identity. And now like, dude, this was like a cut and paste movie. Like everything was so absolutely predictable. And then Sarah and I went and saw this little indie movie called Companion. And oh my God, what a breath of fresh air.

I think the thing that indies have... over the big budget studios is that the creators are like laser focused on the vision and the overall kind of like Ness universe of the, uh, the universe that they know exactly what they want out of it. And they still have the freedom to go. No, you, you stay in your own light.

Yeah. Like out of all the games, I mean, I've been listening first time caller, long time listener guys. I've been listening to this show for quite some time. You guys have been like my workout buddies for a couple of years at this point.

and you have spoken so enthusiastically about this game that like it's always kind of been on my backlog but i've i don't know something just hasn't pushed me over the edge to go do it but a second one definitely is you know interesting for some reason i end up favoring the second game in most series so well they learned what they did wrong and they can make it better yeah exactly exactly

Yeah.

Let's go. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. And we've even found that with like our outreach, like dude, the indie developers are like stoked to talk about their games. You know, it's not, it's not just numbers on a spreadsheet to them. There's like heart in it.

Okay. So for anybody who's been a part of the discord, I apologize in advance because I've been spamming this game for like the last, like three months, but my number one tie for number one, most anticipated game for this year is a game called re animal. It is made by Tarsier studios and they are the makers of the original little nightmares and little nightmares too.

And I'm going to just say Little Nightmares was a good game. Little Nightmares 2, in my opinion, is a masterpiece on just about every possible metric. And what they are doing with Re-Animal looks like they're leveling up in every possible way. Do yourselves a favor. Check out that trailer. It looks freaking incredible.

Yeah, yeah, you got it. That's what I meant.

Yeah, Josh said the same thing. Josh goes, okay, well, Nightmare Fuel. Great. Thank you.

Well, dude, and the best thing about them is like there's a lot of games now that like kind of like – over rely on the gore and the shock factor to the point where you almost get like numb to it. And like, man, little nightmares too, is the perfect example. They do so much with just the ambience and the sound design that like, it gives you, I'm actually getting chills, like just talking about it.

Like it is, it is perfection in my opinion, in, uh, in game design. Plus they know, uh, how long the game should be. They don't go too long in the tooth. They're like these short little digestible games that you can probably finish in 10 hours, experience a bunch of new game mechanics in that short time and a wonderful encapsulated story that just sucks you in.

There's definitely a time and a place for it.

Yeah. I could, I could use a good nostalgia trip. I may be checking that out.

Dude, I don't think I've ever... I've never had a song that I've never actually heard stuck in my head, but...

The problem is that as somebody who sleeps like...

a maximum of two to three hours a night like for years at a time i'm like prejudice against the uh title like that he gets to feel sleepy so i may end up skipping that one i'll take the cliff's notes on that one and you guys can keep singing it though i like the song maybe that'll maybe that'll put you to sleep just just loop you guys singing mr sleeping man works all day
