Indie games are what’s holding the game industry right now. It’s no longer AAA titles that get released every single month. The indie groups are the big events every year. There are festivals and online events held all year round celebrating indie titles. Some have had AA budgets while others are made by a single person. Indie games are where the heart and core of the game industry is right now and we need to protect and cherish this by buying the games that we like and love and supporting them. This has been a tale as old as time and many big games now started out as small indie titles such as Minecraft, Fez, Super Meat Boy, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Stardew Valley, Terraria, and and many more.

Balatro

Balatro is one of those games that nobody knew or heard about and suddently blew up. Not only are rogue-like games in vogue right now, but Balatro’s addictive gameplay, colorful retro visuals, and easy to learn, but hard to master style made it a recipe for success. It’s available on every platfrom out right now and recently got a physical release.
