What are the most anticipated indie games for 2025?
Hello fellow gamers and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. Today we're going to cover the most anticipated indie games for 2025. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host Ryan, and joining me... He's been living Mr. Sleepy Man in real life while on vacation all last week. It's Ace.
Oh, man. I feel like I just woke up. What do you mean we're on a podcast?
Wake up, dude. Come on. We're ready to go. All righty. And then he's forcing me to probably play a game that's first in his anticipation list. So he's no longer first in my heart. It's John.
Hey, everybody. Ryan, first of all, you should be thanking me for that. That is my number one most anticipated game of this year. And I think it's going to surprise you, dude.
You know what? I hope so. I hope this game is amazing and I hope I love it.
Well, in the event that you don't, I hope you have the courtesy to lie about it at least and don't hurt my feelings.
There you go. There you go. Man, I'm excited, guys. So first I want to get off on what have you guys been up to? What have you been playing?
uh shamefully to say i have not been playing an indie uh i have been absolutely cracking out on monster hunter wilds man oh it is an absolute blast me and our uh our good buddy gregasaurus just went ham on it and put like 36 hours in two days
What have the hosts been playing recently?
I will say he's been sending me different statistical things about Avowed and other games that I am currently playing. Like, why are you playing that? Come play Monster Hunter. Man, what are you doing? Come on. He's getting close. He's going to win me over soon enough.
Yeah, it's interesting. I've never had any interest in the Monster Hunter games, but Jack with Oddbug, when we did our segment with him, he really turned me on to it. Like just the concept that you can sort of like play as long as you want, but also just kind of like get your little fix every once in a while. That is like right up my alley these days. So I may end up jumping on there.
that's so happy to have you at the hunt john there you go and you create your cool animals and all that stuff but yeah awesome well you know what a little bit about what we're gonna do today is we're doing most anticipated indies for 2025 and i'm beyond excited what you guys think There it is.
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.
That was the way of the future, baby. I agree. I agree.
There's something to be said about it because Indies and, you know, I'm sure you can speak on this a little more, too, is there just there's an ability for an indie developer to kind of do a little bit more than anyone else can do. They don't have the budget. They don't have the big studio and the large staff. But they do have that very wide spectrum of creativity and that realm to where they can just explore and try things that otherwise some board meeting with a bunch of suits is going to knock down and say, no, that's not mass appeal. We don't want that. And something that could be revolutionary. So I love... And being on this kind of the indie side of things and doing this with you, Ace, and talking with you, John, it's opened me up to a little bit more of this indie world where I'm putting back the graphic snob in me and putting away those big, wide worlds to these kind of smaller experiences, if you will, that are just something that makes you just kind of hold these types of games a little bit more near and dear to your heart.
I feel like Indies are like, it's like art. When you're looking at it from a certain point of view, maybe you don't get it. But once you like really start to think about it, you're like, wow, this really speaks to me on a level that other thing couldn't.
