Alt text: Yeah yeah, there's always exceptions, I mean look no further than the game in the 2nd panel, not the most thrilling gameplay, is it?

    Let’s say I’m not interested in side-scrollers, that’s already removing at least 50% of all indie games for me. Throw in games with pixel looks and we’re down to maybe 10%.

      Fine, but with that said saying side-scrollers is incredibly broad. Cuphead is very different to Pentiment which is nothing like Pizza Tower and that doesn’t share much with Replaced, and so on. There are plenty of genres represin Indie circles from FPS’s to rpgs, point and clicks, simulation, platformers, Metroidvania’s, open world adventures and far more that I can’t be fucked to think of. The point being if indie games aren’t for you then that’s cool but at least be honest and not just dismiss wiith sweeping generalisations.
