I made a list of non generic Indies.https://backloggd.com/u/sphere_citron/list/good-indie-games/Does anyone have more examples? I like Indie Games but I dislike retro aesthetics.I will add your examples to the list if they are validRules:>No metroidvanias>No roguelikes>No procedural generation>No pixel or retro graphics>No deck builders>No open-world survival craft slop.>Games must be single player or fully playable in SP.And of course, the games should also be of decent quality. They don't all have to be 10s
OP pic not related?
>>736555346No matter what OP poster, it wouldn’t please your miserable and autistic ass
Pic not related btw
>>736555472Ironic you're calling that anon autistic when op is the who thinks anything 2D is retro and not good
>>736554536GnosiaFast RMXArt of BalanceGunman Clive 1/2Fit the criteria and worth considering
>backloggdGo back to your tranny site you faggot
>>736555474>>736555346Neon white is more unique and better than any of your roguelite slop.
>>736554536>>No roguelikeswhat about roguelites?
>>736555548>2DI never said 2d is retro. >>736555715I won't include VNs, but I'll look into the other ones.
>>736555715I really should play Gnosia again, the first time felt like a fever dream. Or maybe I should just watch the anime.

>>736556220It's fucking dogshit. If you think that's a good indie game then the indie world is fucking doomed.
>>736554536None of those qualifiers help filter out bad games in the slightest.
>>736556426It's miles better than any roguelike slop and actually unique. Cope nigger.
>>736556531>actually unique.Holy cope.
>>736556503I said non generic. Learn to read. The games don't have to be 10s. But should be of decent quality atleast.
>>736556593None of those traits help filter out generic games, either.FTL would fail, for fuck's sake.
>>736556564Yes it is nigger. Name other games before it that had the same combination of mechanics.
>>736556650It would help filter out generic games in the context of Indies. If your game has retro graphics, it's generic aesthetically in the context of Indies.
>>736554536https://store.steampowered.com/app/2089600/Urban_Myth_Dissolution_Center/I suppose this falls under pixel graphics but its closer to older adventure game art style which is nice.Mystery detective game featuring cute girls, little spooky.
>>736554536you have shit taste. kill yourself for baiting me with neon white, because out of everything on your list it's the only game that asks something of the player. everything you posted is moviegame trash 3D walking sim horror slop for geriatric boomers. end your lifekys. kys with your braindead list die fucking shitter. remove neon white from it. you are tainting this game
>>736556771There's only 2 horror games on my list, retard.
here's a better board for you >>>/tv/go there. die forgot to sage previous post too. go therestay tv with your croaked bones friends. go there and watch your capeshit slop>>>/tv/
>>736556759No, "retro graphics" have as much variety within their style as "modern graphics" do.
>>736556759Generic how? SageYou retard obviously there's a million different rougelites and metroidvanias but your own retarded logic just gets rid the only good indies that could stand out
>>736554536You forgot one
>>736554536Neon white is lame
>>736554536https://vidyagaemawards.com/previous-yearsPick any game nominated for "best game nobody played" from the last 10 years or so.
>>736556290just let it go
>>736556879By retro graphics I mean pixel shit and PS1 style shit. If you have a game that looks very unique, I'll consider it
>>736556894Generic in terms of aesthetics. Metroidvanias and rogue likes are very common and I'm sick of them.
>>736556916Yeah, I'll add this too
>>736557194I think your definition of "generic" is directly flawed.
>>736556842Kek My thread seems to be causing some butthurt
>>736554536Bump for neon whiteIt's a fucking masterpiece
>>736554536I usually don't like obvious speedrun games but ultrakill is still fun in a casual playthrough where you don't engage with the advanced mechanicsWould I like Neon White?
>>736557314According to merriam Webster>having no particularly distinctive quality or applicationGeneric in common parlance can mean things that are too samey
>>736555715>>736556340I'll look into these once I have time. Thanks for the recs
>>736554536>No pixel or retro graphicsThis seems like a dumb rule, the rest are all based on genres, but this is just throwing out a ton of games for basically no reason. There's plenty of stylistic variance in "retro graphics".Also I think your list is pretty bad at the moment. SoR4 is neither indie nor particularly unique. Same thing goes for AI Limit and Soulstice.With that being said:InfraAnthology of the KillerBrigadorReturn of the Obra DinnSkullgirlsThe Stanley ParableWest of LoathingAngel at DuskArctic EggsBetrayal at Club LowChildren of the SunConcrete JungleDivine OrdersENA: Dream BBQEscape From Lavender IslandFAR: Lone SailsFour Last ThingsForget Me Not: My Organic GardenG StringGenesis NoirHylicsHyperRogueI Am Your BeastJazzpunkKentucky Route ZeroMan I Just Wanna Go HomeRum & GunSamorostStar FetchersTetrageddon GamesSuperhotUmurangi GenerationThe White Chamber
Here are the best indie games I have played over the last few years I don't give a shit about your filters >ARCOinsanely polished top down pixel shooter with an innovative combat system best described as "real-time turn-based". Colonial/industrial mesoamerican theme with one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard.>Mortal SinFlashy dark fantasy slash-em-up with a satisfying combo system, arguably a rogue like>Skate StoryWeighty, weird take on skating games, thrash your way through hell to eat the moon. Hard to get into but very satisfying skill expression>ThronefallCute little casual strategy game, was aped by some shitty mobile game that took off>ConscriptWWI survival horror, not the greatest game but points for a creative presentation and settingfor real though your arbitrary always-online filters are dumb as hell and you should reconsider why you dislike them rather than just mind melding with retards from 4chan who don't even play games
Also if you're looking for more material, backloggd has quite a few lists of weird/experimental/unique games which might be worth a look.>https://backloggd.com/u/42and7/list/the-weird/>https://backloggd.com/u/Hey_Peter/list/strangecore/>https://backloggd.com/u/GirthquakeMag11/list/post-punk-surreal-absurd-psychedelic/

>>736555472I mean he posted a list of autistic criteria what the subjectively considers good.Just a taste of his own medicine.
>>736554536>Non generic indies>Posts speedtranny shitlmao
I would suggest Banquet for Fools. Its visual style has an awsome claymation feel. The world and setting is inspired. Gameplay reminds me the infinity engine games with the best parts carried over with some of the QoL features youd want in a modern game.Combat is a continent wide brawl with RTWP in its core. My first playtrough took ~75h
>>736558495name 50 games like neon white
>>736557769>>736557792>>736558291>>736558012Thanks for the recsI'm at work right now so I can't check through all of them. I will add them in later if they meet my criteria.

>>736558579Search for the tags fast-paced and FPS, the answer might surprise you.
>>736558849Wow that seems like an extremely loose criteria for similarity
Does cryptmaster pass for retro graphics? It's just a black and white filter rather than invoking anything retro. It's pretty unique otherwise, a traditional dungeon crawler with a sunday newspaper word puzzles and scrabble combat.
>>736558849Neon white is also a puzzle platformer where your guns double as the skills you use to get around. Using the skills will sacrifice the guns, which adds to the puzzle element. Its primarily a platformer rather than a shooter.There's also the speedrunning element.
>>736558849Most of the games you'll find there are Ultrakill or Post Void clones, not Neon White clones.
>>736554536>neon white and unique in the same sentence Lmao, lets see>garbage vn dialogue >persona friendship system>speedrun cs go surf gameplay>awful story>le heckin vaporware aesthetic Kys

>No pixel or retro graphicsOkay man
>>736554536>Wicked Seed
>>736561556Neon white is a puzzle platformer but the way you platform is unique (using your cards that also double as guns)Its not like cs go surfing at all. >garbage vn dialogueIts fun. >awful storyHow was the story awful? I enjoyed it
It's 200 years old by now but Hat in Time. You all must play it.
>>736565095I tried it but it didn't click
>>736556220It definitely is unique but calling it good feels like a stretch. And yes I am saying this just because of the visual novels segments are so shit they make Danganronpa idle conversations look like Dostoevsky. The gameplay is "fine", for a speed game it's surprisngly floaty and imprecise.I'm not looking at the rest of the list because backloggd is for fags btw, post if here if you want recognition.
