Topic	Johnbobb ranks every indie game he's ever played
Johnbobb 10/28/23 10:00:47 PM #81:	169. Friday the 13th: The Game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do3GPzDR6d8 I said, for the most part, I wasn't going to include licensed games. A big reason for this is that when licensed games are made by independent studios, it's because the IP owner is looking to cash-in without having to pay a AAA studio to make it happen. This often results in cut corners and games that feel more like brand projects than indie projects. Friday the 13th is the exception to that, and while this is Friday the 13th-branded, it's a competitive indie slasher game first made by a small team trying to create a genuinely unique experience. And while I don't love the game (the gameplay never quite meshed with me, plus I'm not a big competitive online player to begin with) I was genuinely impressed by the effort that was put into to making it what it is. 168. Happy Wheels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9cGMLXP-eA Remember that time that Tobuscus got called out for drug abuse and sexual assault and manipulation and then started going off about cancel culture and then started going down a right-wing rabbit hole? Anyway, Happy Wheels was kinda fun. 167. TowerFall Ascension https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG_vhHWwFSk TowerFall Ascension suffered for me due to me not having friends that were very into it. The actual gameplay loop is fun and pretty addictive, but matches tended to go by very quick and at times it began to feel repetitive. When playing multiplayer games, for a while I would boot up Towerfall, but it rarely lasted very long as the people I played with got bored of it before long. Love the spritework here though. 166. Naughty Bear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVMVncndNGE Naughty Bear came out when I was 16 and was an exact fit for the sense of humor of an edgy teen. Funny enough, this game is very similar to the Friday the 13th game in terms of gameplay, with the main goal being not-Jason going around and stealthily killing the not-teenagers in a variety of violent ways. The gameplay wasn't great and the comedy is something that appealed to me more as a teenager than it probably would now. Really, just play Hitman. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:976913503] in Johnbobb r...
