What are the best indie games of the last year or so?

Open

I can't speak for everyone, but I know I'm often overwhelmed with the task of sorting through indie games to find the ones that are actually worth playing. I want to narrow that down to the more recent indie games that are must-plays... if you're going to play indie games, play these.

Here are some that I know of, but please suggest ones you've personally finished and think they belong on the list. Feel free to add "+1" comments if your recommendation has already been mentioned.

Axiom Verge
Castle in the Darkness
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Ori and the Blind Forest
Rocket League
Shovel Knight
Titan Souls
Undertale

Downwell?
Invisible Inc?
Party Hard?

Soma, ARK: Survival Evolved, Broforce. Still haven't tried Rocket League and Undertale, but I hear they're great.

Obviously people are going to say Undertale but in my opinion its not really that good... However, I did really really enjoy Transistor and Papers, Please? (Note: I do not actually know if these games came out last year or not)

{Puts on a fake moustache, top hat and monocle.} I dare say your list is missing perhaps the greatest Indie game of 2015, ol'bean. Paradise Lost. It's a jolly good time. Runs away from the pitchforks and torches

In reality, I've been loving Rocket League in Snow Day mode... even if it is the same thing over and over, it's pretty great for what it is.
