If you are a fan of video games, you’ll know that there are tons of indie games being created all the time. Indie games are really fun because the creators often get more creative freedom and can experiment with different kinds of gameplay than bigger game developers. With so many indie games out there, how do you choose which one to play?
Allen Chi is a gaming consultant based in Las Vegas, Nevada. He currently offers a gaming scholarship for gamers who thrive in live streaming and eSports tournaments. As a fan of all things related to the video game industry, he shares the top 4 indie games of 2022 that you should check out:
- Rogue Legacy 2. In this game, you play as a knight going on quests. What makes this game different is that when your character dies you don’t just respawn. You have to pick an heir to play as, and they all have different traits.
- Eastward is an action game based around two characters who have to deal with a toxic plague that destroys everything in its path. This game features charming animations from the Shanghai-based developer, Pixpil.
- I Am Dead is a puzzle game from Hollow Ponds, and it’s about a recently deceased museum curator who gets reunited with the ghost of his dog.
- Papers, Please is a mix of puzzle and simulation games where you play an immigration officer at a border crossing checkpoint in the fictional country of Arstotzka, which is at odds with neighboring countries.
