Indie games now are just what I'm looking forward to, great games full of passion instead of just making a game that siphons money out of its players as much as possible.
Happy New Year everyone! May 2022 be filled with laughter & joy for you 🎉
great list, but quick point. Unsighted actually has an option at the start to disable the timer function. I've played it this way and still difficult but makes it better to enjoy the story without having to rush,
Thanks for mentioning Luna's Fishing Garden :) Happy new year, Clemmy! Glad to see you keep going and growing.
Loved Olija and Narita Boy. I think people forgot about them because they came out so early in the year. Flynn was great, and Toem was one of my top for the year. Another gem I don't think many people have tried is Wytchwood. Really enjoyed it!
Looking forward to playing a lot of these games especially Narita boy
LOVE Luna's Fishing Garden...definitely a gem...so simple but really engrossing, Toem, Garden Story as well as another big fave this year...Monster Sanctuary . Thanks Clemmy...very appreciated 💙💛💙 Happy New Year🎊🎇🎆🎉🥂
Happy new year Clemmy! Discovering your channel was one of the few great things in a shitty and depressing year were I spent most time in quarantine than not and suffering very bad times for family studying and working reasons. Your videos have become a routine to me and I discovered a lot of great new and old games thanks to you. Really thank you for your work, have a nice 2022
I finished Flynn son of crimson and I agree it was fun but kinda forgettable. Fun though. Worth playing if you like the genre
Yay! Thanks, Clem, you are my go-to "recommend guy" when I need to scratch my pixel art/metroidvania itch. Happy 2022 to you.
Alot of platformers came out this year which I need to check out. Also surprised Everhood wasnt on here thats my favorite hidden gems of this year.
Heres my personal picks not included: Sizeable, Genesis Noir, Exo One, The Artful Escape Ynglet, Stilstand, The Last Campfire, Down in Bermuda, Milo and the Magpies, Labyrinth City, Cats in Time, Tiny Robots Recharged, Slice of Sea, Intergalactic Wizard Force (its free), Happy Game, Moncage, Unpacking, Phogs! (got lost at the end of last year)
Flynn: Son of Crimson was supposed to be a Metroidvania? No wonder it feels the way it does, I really wish they would've delayed it and made it what it was supposed to be. Like the video says, it is a GOOD game, worth the $15 or whatever, but it could've been great. As it is now, it's almost like a easier Momodora meets Wonder Boy Adventure/RPG style, but with selectable levels on an overworld map. I can see the greatness it could've been, hopefully the next game will be all it can be, because it really was a fun playthrough.
Unsighted and Flynn were two of my favorite indies that came out 2021
Nice to include two titles from my country👍 "Kaze" and "Unsighted" are really worthy!! Still waiting for "Chinatown detective agency". A great new year for all!!!
I love flyn son of crimsons!!!💯💯💯
Thank you!
The problem with these games are they not featured or highlighted too much on Steam. There must be a month to celebrate Indie games. The only reason why I discover these gems are from YouTubers so great job on what you're doing.
Thanks for this lists! I'm already planning ahead which games to play and this would definitely help me to scout easy~
Pronty looks really cool, I hope it gets a console release, I'd love to play it
