Full Episode
hello fellow gamers and welcome to the video gamers podcast i'm your host ace and today we're talking our top indies but before that with me is my indie brother in arms john hey what's up everybody super stoked for this episode oh this is gonna be a good one i'm very excited for this one and of course my newest recruit to the indie army The one and only Ryan.
Listen, I'm slowly accepting that some indie games are good. I'll take that.
Yeah, Ace, I would be a little hesitant to name him amongst our ranks today. Just with his very, very lukewarm response to Claire Obscure. I don't know. I don't know. He might be a defector in the making.
That could have been a triple A game. I would have the same response. So the developer made no difference.
Well, clearly, because it didn't make any difference for you how you felt about it. I mean, Baldur's Gate 3 won Game of the Year. It's an indie technically, so I'm thinking we're probably going to see another indie win Game of the Year, if you ask me.
There's two great contenders so far. I mean, between Claire Obscura and Kingdom Come. Do we actually even consider Kingdom Come 2?
I think technically two isn't, but one is. It's semantics, all sorts of stuff like that. But, you know, we got a really exciting episode here where we're going to break down our personal top five indies. And I'm very excited because I definitely have a lot I really want to talk about. I know you definitely do.
Yeah. I was like when when you mentioned that this was going to be the topic of this show and we're sort of curating it. I started thinking immediately. I was like, my top five indies is almost my top five just games in general. You know, I. Yeah.
We've had several conversations about this where indie games tend to feel like they have a lot more heart and they're able to take better risks because the financial risk is not as important. Well, it's probably more important, honestly.
