CrossCode without a doubt, that game has dungeons and puzzles that out-Zelda some Zelda games. Top of its class and up there with Hyper Light Drifter IMO.

[adamsmith]

You guys do great lists on this channel. Definitely getting Reverie with its Star Tropics vibe. Also Swords of Ditto has become a lot more appealing without permadeath, didn't know they had updated it so thanks.

[jaylucien]

I can't recommend the Oceanhorn games enough. So good.

[Juice]

CrossCode!
That game is so tough and addicting in the best of ways.

[aozgolo]

I only recently became aware of this game but I think "The Touryst" deserves a spot on this list for sure.

[militantpacifist]

Metroidvanias and Zelda like games indie games are my favorite ones.

[FlowerAngelRave]

Arietta of Spirits has my eye, Trigger Witch was fun, and I am hoping to grab a physical version of Turnip Boy at some point. I absolutely loved Moonlighter and Hyper Light Drifter as well. Ittle Dew 2 and Blossom Tales seem awesome and I’ve got them wishlisted now. Thanks for the video. 🔺

[neoflashjf]

Evoland 1 is basically a tech demo, but Evoland 2 is a love letter to all gaming and one of my favorite games ever!!!!

[DJsleng]

I played the demo of "Arietta of Spirits" and pre-downloaded for 10% off.

[ElricSowrd]

I just got the Notification.
1:26- Man, Trigger Witch looks gory. 😰

[Kraken]

I'm only half way through The Legend Of Zelda Link's Awakening, but on the plus side I've pre-ordered Trigger Witch to add to my backlog! 🤦‍♂️ 😂 👍

[OneManAndHisDogGaming]

Just purchased the physical of Kamiko. Thanks for mentioning this, guys.

[Christian-wrge]

Rogue Heroes is legit guys. So much fun with friends.

[bsolt]

Picked up Kamiko from B-Side and Trigger Witch from play Asia! There are so many games to add to my backlog now… 🔺

[absupinhere]

I had no idea how many there are :O thank you for making this! I’ve got some games to add to the wishlist

[Ser-Smiley]

Some of these games will be added to my ever growing wishlist. 😋

[olih]
