Remember that era when everyone kept praising these boring artsy-fartsy indie games? Like Limbo, Braid, Journey, Flower, etc?
>>747574869These guys are actually good. It took them a long time to add more 'gameplay' but by the time they were making ABZU and the Pathless the games became actually fun while being artsy fartsy.
>>747574869Spoken like someone who doesn't like them, Journey and especially Flower are good games. And yeah, I remember and they deserve the praise.
better times
>praisingliterally nobody bought that mid shit, everyone was playing cod and gta
>>747574869journey is kino
Limbo has gameplay though.Getting the achievement of completion without dying once is hard.
Someone not liking journey makes it really easy to disregard their opinion.
You didn't mention the game that founded the genreThis game is good but you can definitely see it inventing a bunch of tropes that can get annoying>You can tell the game is good because it's mostly silent except for ambient nature sounds>You can tell the game is good because nobody talks>You can tell the game is good because there's no UI elements
>>747574869They were comfy and entertaining.
>>747577959eh ICO is a 7/10 at bestThe gameplay is bad and doesn't really evolve into anything.
