Big Hops, Constance, and Planet of Lana 2 are in my Steam wish list.
I wish these list style videos would keep the name of the Game on screen
It's 24/7/365 for horror games, movies and books in my world. Madison is DEFINITELY my cup of tea. And it's an indie? Sold. Thanks for heads up.
A nice mix of the new and the old!
This video reminded me of why i subscribed to you. It's a Banger!
Do you play all these games yourself before putting them in a video? Neva was in my top two in 2024, alongside PoP: The Lost Crown and Ender Magnolia was my number one in 2025 (yes, I played Silksong too). I really wanted to like Constance but I hit a bug that made it impossible to progress so I just gave up on it. The game is not bad by any means, but I don't have patience for things like that.
Amazing lists. Added 70% of the games from this to my list
Ah, the good stuff 🎉
Cairn was amazing
sword of the sea is so awesome and i dont even know why
Hey, Krypto Mac! We are making our indie game for about 1 year and a half, it's an oldschool dramatic isometric shooter, can we get some support from you and get covered by your channel? Thank you!
They are all great games, but many are not indie games.
What game is at 0:14 ?
Best. List. Ever. Kudos, my friend! 💚
Great video
0:37 Absolum is utterly fantastic. Like beat em ups but not generally my first pick. This game though, is a first pick game. It's so good. Synergies line up. Different routes. New abilities and characters. Can't say enough about this
8:51 curious how Cairn's climbing plays and feels vs Jusant?
Not that my wishlist needed even more games. Mentioning Visage when speaking about Luto sold it for me! That game scarred me but of course I want more. 😂
12:01 for another cool indie horror game, check out Withering Rooms. Sidescroller puzzle horror combat with both rougelike-lite ish metroidvania-lite ish
What Remains of Edith Finch remind me of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter from 10 years ago. But the difference was we play paranormal detective who saw what's happened with Ethan Carter and his family. The concept of see from point of view of family member is interesting.
