Let us know in the comments which of these indie darlings is your all-time FAVORITE.

[Kiyaa]

Omori deserves a spot on this list for sure

[avclub]

At this rate I'm never picking up Nightingale

[andrewseeley]

I find it so interesting how some indie games look better than a lot of AAA titles

[andy.]

Cuphead, shovel knight and hollow knight should be top 5. They were so important for the indie industrie.

[emiebex]

Cuphead might be the only indie game in History people both want & don't want a sequel to no matter how Awesome it was. 🙆🏿‍♂️🙅🏼‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️

If hollow knight isn't first I quit

[huntermyers]

All of the Indie darlings are my all-time favorites

[coletrainhetrick]

Absolutely thrilled to see Disco Elysium at number 1, ah gosh, probably the most satisfying number 1 from any if your lists

[ARIXANDRE]

I'd like to leave a mention to Rebel Galaxy and Spiritfarer. Both amazing games that got me through hard times.

[manzei]

Journey should be higher up. Something that can genuinely be enjoyed by everyone regardless of age. Truly special

[kruczak]

Don't ever let WatchMojo make a tierlist again

[MelanieCaffrey]

The Messenger
Starbound
Terraria
Iconoclasts
Omori
Just Shapes and Beats

I could keep going but I would be here for hours. Why none of those are on this list is messed up.

[MVahag]

Actually a pretty decent top. I would arrange some of those differently, but agree with Disco being number 1. It's an unquestionable masterpiece.

[barry_the_xalanyn]

No Ori makes this video a joke.
From what I've played in this list Ori stands like that:
Hades
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Inside
Celeste
Limbo
Stardew Valley

[Ravolox]

My absolute favourite is Transistor (also from Supergiant Games). Gameplay and soundtrack are just brilliant! :)

[dighad]
