Indie games have become the new go-to for unique game experiences and revolutionary new ideas that AAA games once brought to the table. 2016 couldn’t make that statement any more clear with fantastic indie games that get as much attention as AAA budget titles.
Firewatch
Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Firewatch single-handedly had one of the most memorable stories this year. It sucked me in and I didn’t stop playing until the end. The murder mystery combines with being left alone, and the perfect pacing, add up to one intense adventure that you can’t put down.
