The Best Indie Game You Have Ever Played.

Interstellar Marines? :D

"Dust - An Elysian Tale" and "Bastion"

To The Moon, though Braid and Thomas Was Alone were also brilliant.

Super Meat Boy + Braid. Because just one is unfair ;)

Gotta be Bastion

Thomas Was Alone

I fell in love with Thomas Was Alone.

Hard to limit it to just one so I'll say three:

• Defense Grid
• Braid
• Hotline Miami

Do games that were released on consoles count? Eschatos is AMAZING and was made by a small indie team.

On Steam, probably Satazius or Exceed 2nd. Amazing shmups.

For non shmups, Bleed, They Bleed Pixels, and Rogue Legacy are amazing fun.

Oh god world of goo is definitely one of my favorite indie games but I have played so many that it is hard to choose. Terraria was good, Monaco was good, bastion and the binding of Isaac were good. Just too many good choices.

Don´t Starve / Defense Grid / Bastion

Minecraft. Can hardly beat that.

Awesomenauts

I would have to say Bastion or Terraria

Binding of Isaac, hands down.

Garry's Mod.

Minecraft.

Game dev tycoon.

Antichamber

Antichamber
Thomas Was Alone
Plain Sight
Audiosurf

That's hard to say actually... The winner for me is probably Minecraft.

Little Inferno. I don't know why but I really like it.

Machinarium, one of the first i've played but still in my mind :)

To all those saying Game Dev Tycoon... You do realize that it was a complete shameless rip off of Kairosoft's game Game Dev Story, right? Fun, yes. But then again, so was the game they ripped off...

The idea of Minecraft is not bad, but it's nothing new; beside that I cannot understand how can someone list a poor optimised sandbox game with no actual story, developed on a poor game engine with unappealing graphics, as the best indie game.

• Cave story
• Knytt
• Dear Esther
