Topic	Johnbobb ranks every indie game he's ever played
Johnbobb 11/12/23 4:36:52 PM #160:	104. Maquette https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AGQQF_VQeo More than a few of these games are going to be ones I played because they were free on PS+. Maquette is in theory very similar to Superliminal, manipulating objects to change their size in reality, but in this case it's done not through POV, but in moving objects between the world around you and a tiny version of the world in the middle. Drop a penny in the model, a giant one appears in the world, pick up a tower from the model and it disappears from the world, etc. But what draws me in here is that there is motivation in what you're doing as you piece together scenes from a past relationship, with much of the world symbolically representing it. 103. VVVVVV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnLdDTLnjm0 oh shit i'm sorry Veni Vidi Vici is probably a evil masterpiece of mind-bogglingly difficult platforming (that I fully admit I never beat). I think what sells it for me is the the 8-screen drop you have to fall through as you approach it. It is the developer directly saying to the player, "haha fuck you" before dropping you into the hardest freefall and immediate reverse freefall it could come up with, all for a single collectible. 102. Shank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n_XkjD52M4 Shank is the visual style of Mark of the Ninja, but instead of grim stealth, it's a violent retelling of the movie Machete (I looked it up, and Shank came out exactly 10 days before Machete did). The gameplay gets a little repetitive at times, but it's never boring, and is possibly the closest we've ever gotten to a playable Robert Rodriguez story (if there are better examples I'd be happy to hear them!) 101. Baba Is You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3_yA4HTJfs JON BOB IS DU MB Baba Is You's ranking is limited only by my own personal ability to play it. Because whileI think Baba Is You is legitimately in consideration for the most ingenius puzzle game ever created, I am way, way too stupid for it. I was riding high, solving puzzles left and right, only for it to turn out that I had barely scratched the surface in terms of what this game expects of you. I mean, holy shit. The whole point of the game is that the rules of the game are able to be changed by you if you're smart enough, and I don't want to spoil the extent of what that means because they hold to that idea without end. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:977177839] in Johnbobb r...
