Top 10 Critically Acclaimed Games of January 2018:

[gravityqueeen]

I loved this new series! Its gonna help us gamers finding the top tier indies, every game with scores and multiple critics. Im really enjoying the channel, keep up the good work XD

[enterthegame]

Iconoclasts and Celeste are my favourite..(even im struggling to finish celeste)

[MacForaday]

I really appreciate you bringing these games to our attention and supporting their creators.
Personally, though, I don't consider licensed games like Tall Tales' Batman to be indie, because, if I'm not mistaken, they receive funding from DC Comics or whatever franshise they are making a game for.

Celeste is the best platformer I've played in years let alone just January!

[jiffyb]

I personally don't look up too many of these games so it is nice to have a video like this. :)

[FadiAntwan]

This month was amazing for indie games!

[Waffletigercat]

Iconoclasts should've been #1. Such an amazing game in so many ways. I finished it two weeks ago and my mind has still been dwelling heavily on it.

[htrayford]

I like the idea of this series a great deal. Can’t wait to see it again.

[Bekayvd]

This is a really nice format. It confirms your great picks at the beginning of the month and makes me want to pick them up even more!

[Ivan-omrk]

Iconoclasts is truly special. Please support it.

[darthalbae]

I love Indie Games. You have got a new Abo... ;) Greeting from germany. ;)

[jumanjicostco]

I hear Lab Zero's *Indivisible* will be coming out this Fall. I'm really excited for it~ hope ya'll include it in these lists when the time comes

[TheMechanizedSingfantry]

Liking this new series - just the kind of useful guide I need. Red Strings is now on my steam wishlist. I might've been tempted by Subnautica in the past, but I just don't have that kind of free time anymore.

[FlawdTV]

The Room looks pretty good. I didn't hit her! Oh, hey Mark...

[donlupus]

As much as I love your videos, I think this series will be a bit dull. Most of those acclaimed games are the ones we know about either way and at least for me, the biggest appeal of your channel was getting introduced to games that went under my radar so far.

[Dracalis]

I really like the compilations on your channel. Can I offer critique, though? You know that banner at the bottom of the screen that you overlay over the trailer, that says the game title and platform? I really think that you should fade it out after a short delay. I found myself wanting to watch the events on screen, to get an idea of what these titles are about, but was annoyed that one-fifth of the view was blocked by the banner the entire time. It's not necessary to keep it in place the whole time, especially since each game gets a title card of redundant information.

[MrGogi-ktlq]

Can a TellTale game be considered indie???

[NinjaSyao]

Got Celeste on the wishlist for when I finally finish Xenoblade 2 (that game is damn huge!) and Iconoclasts looks like a great one for whenever the inevitable Switch port comes around.
Indivisible is supposed to come too in the 2nd half of this year and with a bit of luck Super Cloudbuilt will also be coming over in the future. There's also Freedom Planet 2, which I'm really excited about as man! That first game was awesome!

Plenty of great indies to choose from this year already ^_^

[vigneshk]

if celeste was remastered or rebooted to visuals of ori and the blind forest, then that would be a true masterpiece

[SirRextle]

is it weird i find genital jousting odd? anyways i love iconoclasts and it truly deserves praise
