Underrated Video Games/Indie Gems

Hello everyone, happy Friday, Hope your having a good day and are looking forward to the weekend like I am! What a better way to spend the weekend then to avoid responsibilities and play video games!. I did an underrated bands and an underrated Anime blog post So I have to do a video game one!. So hopefully you find a game you’ve never heard of and find something new to play.

edit note: Huge apologies for this being later and for not posting for a bit got caught up with life and making art but will resume my usual weekly posting thank you for reading these posts and sticking with me hope you like this one!

1. Forgotten Anne(2018)

If you want to play a game that feels like a mix between a Studio Ghibli movie and Beauty and The Beast than this is the game for you. The animation, and especially the cut scenes and scenery remind me a lot of Studio Ghibli, and the story and how most of the characters are personified objects reminds me a little of Beauty and The Beast, especially the character Fig(the one with the sword) totally looks like Lumiere!. I randomly came across this game in the PlayStation store and was immediately drawn to the art style without knowing the story, then I saw the Ghibli like cutscenes from the trailer and was sold. This game really makes you feel like your playing a movie and the story is just as good as the art work, it keeps you intrigued to find out how it progressed. I’d say it’s a moderately hard game but mainly just because sometimes the puzzles are a bit tricky,but if your a casual gamer I don’t think it’s overbearingly difficult. I thoroughly enjoyed this game, I don’t think there’s anything like it, and it really deserves more recognition and praise.

A brief summary of the story I really don’t want to spoil it because it is a story heavy game and it’s best played rather than explained. The story follow Anne, the enforcer who watches over the forgotlings, objects that are forgotten in the real world come to life in a universe called The Forgotten Lands. Her role is to keep the order and to assist her master Bonku. The forgotlings goal is to one day return to the real world to reunite with their owners, Bonku is building a machine called the Ether Bridge to send the forgotlings back home. But one day a rebellion of forgotlings is formed to try to stop the production of the ether bridge and Anne must stop the rebels.

2. Donut County (2018)🍩

Probably one of the more well known games on this list but I think only in the indie sphere of games so for those of you who don’t know here it is. I’m not sure what kind of genre this game is classified under, but I’d say it’s kind of a puzzle game. It’s a short game but it doesn’t feel like it’s lacking in content, the dialogue is witty and the characters are quirky, i mean the main character Is a raccoon, although you play as a hole. So as you probably guessed it’s definitely an odd premise but that’s what gives the game its charm, plus I love the colorful art style. So if you want a game that’s truly one of a kind, and a good way to pass a few hours or days this is a great pick.

A Little bit about Donut County, like i said you play as a hole, who’s goal is to suck up everyone and everything into it. The reason for this hole and the other holes swallowing the town is the raccoon BK, who wants the new quadcopter drone. His co worker, the human Mira, notices BK obsessing over this app, to earn enough points for the quadcopter. But instead of the app sending donuts it sends out more holes. Eventually Mira, BK and the rest of the townspeople are sucked underground and they learn that the one who made the app is BK’s boss The Trash King And must stop him from swallowing the whole town and to bring the people back to the surface.

3. Sea of Solitude(2019)

First off full disclaimer, I haven’t finished this game but from what I have played I’ve really enjoyed so I think that’s reason enough to be on this list!. It’s worth it to get this game just because of how pretty the water is, and it’s relaxing being in the boat when your not running away from monsters. Similar to games like Senua’s Sacrafice it focuses on mental health and fighting your own demons, literally. It’s a game of self discovery and bringing light back into the main character Kay’s life by defeating the personified inner demons. It’s great that there are more games like this shining a light on mental health and I hope it helps people by sharing this game! Warning this game tackles a lot of sensitive topics and serious issues so it may not be the right game for some!

To Elaborate a little more on the story, like I mentioned before it follows Kay, who is filled with loneliness, grief, and inner turmoil. This inner dread takes over her to the point where she turns into a monster, and the negative emotions that she has get turned into monster that are trying to kill her. You go through this empty water filled city fighting off these monsters which are Kay’s inner feelings and dialogue to help her overcome them to better understand herself and to release those negative emotions. The game was also recently released on the switch with new voice actors and updates so if you have wanted to play it now is the perfect time to! and I look forward to finishing this game myself!

4. Flipping Death (2018)💀

If you like Tim Burton movies, especially Corpse Bride, or just spooky, death related things in general you’ll probably like this game. It’s weird, witty and whimsical, and you can play it anytime but it’s definitely perfect for Halloween time. This is another game where I unfortunately haven’t beat all of it yet but from what I’ve played it’s definitely good enough for this list. It’s a puzzle, adventure platformer with an painted looking art style all its own, a dialogue full of puns and humor, and a collection of different stories from all the deceased characters. It keeps the game interesting learning all these people’s stories and unraveling how they died and how they‘re all connected In this game of life and death.

When the main character Penny dies of a mysterious death on her way home one night she wakes up to find out she’s dead, and must take over the job of death himself. She’s just a temp but she has to flip between the living and the dead world to uncover the mysterious deaths of the deceased by possessing their bodies. You get to play as the dead people you meet, help them move on and figure out the connecting story between all of them. As well as finding out the reason for Penny’s death, it’s a flippin good time. Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC

5. Night In The Woods(2017)

Probably the most well known and popular game on this list, especially in the indie sphere of games, but I still feel like it’s not as popular as it deserves to be. This is hands down one of my favorite games I’ve ever played it’s become easily top 10 for me. If you haven’t played Night In The Woods, stop reading this, buy the game, it will make your life better. From the relatable characters to the beautiful hand drawn art style and a story that is engaging, funny, original and has different ways it can be played, this game has everything going for it. Plus it’s also got a lot of heart and the characters feel so real and you really get to know them and there’s a mystery to where the story is going and you really don’t quite figure it out til the end. Enough gushing about this game I could go on about it for hours hopefully I’ve convinced you so far to go play it.

Now for the story and characters, first you have Mae, my personal favorite character and who I relate to a little too much, the college dropout who returns to her hometown of Possum Springs. Then there’s her old best friend Bea, the gothic, gloomy crocodile, her best friend and partner in crime Gregg who works at the Snack Falcon. Then there’s his boyfriend Angus, and intellectual bear who enjoys astronomy. They find out shortly after Mae returns home that another one of their old friends Casey Hartley has mysteriously disappeared. Without spoiling too much, this game is best enjoyed without knowing much about the story or what happens, but along with their friend going missing, Mae and her friends continue to witness horrific things which causes Mae to have vivid dreams and makes her mental health decline as the story progresses. You learn about potential ghosts, the dark hidden secrets of possum springs, and you learn a lot about the characters and what their personally going through. It’s a coming of age, mystery game, where your decisions and who you decide to hang out with more effects your game. Plus there’s also mini games, and different ones you can play by choosing different characters on replays so there’s games inside the game. That should be enough to convince to play this truly special game, it’s perfect to play any time but especially in the fall, please I’d you play any game on this list it has to this one!.
