isn't it wild how you can play through an entire indie game in a single day and be left with a deeper, more profound experience, story, moral or question all wrapped in a more unique and impactful art style than many triple a games nowadays. for like 8 bucks.

#indie games i love you forever #this isn't about anything in particular but #i think about gris every time the conversation centers big expensive time consuming games #i think this year was pretty solid tho! apart from stinkers like diablo 4 or starfield. but maybe the industry isn't lost #looking at bg3 or alan wake 2 getting a lot of recognition. both are still somewhat underdogs compared to the standard #but they're nominated for goty! and bg3 will probably take it. meanwhile the two opposites faded into the sidelines instantly #i need to play viewfinder cocoon and hi fi rush too (which is nominated for goty as well iirc you love to see it)#but i just love that indie approach and comparably still smaller studios are getting out there #and the indie category itself is holding its own between these and the big studio snoozefests and nintendo's circlejerk #there's still a lot to improve about game awards - a horror game category would be neat for example and generally more diversity in titles #what is forspoken why isn't anyone talking about it apart from like 5 tumblr users. also pentiment where???#but idk. maybe it's just this one year but it looks hopeful for the future. who knows #shut up elis #the game awards 2023 #(i guess)
