So many great games out there seem to have had less success than they deserve. For all the Palworlds and Helldivers, Animal Wells to Manor Lords, there are thousands of games right across the board that don't make the impact that, in a perfect world, they deserve to. Many of these games are good, some are great, and sometimes they are brilliant. That's just the reality, and it is especially true in today's games market. Games can, of course, do well but not do well enough, even as Indie titles. It's not just a AAA problem; I'm (sadly) confident of that. So today, to celebrate not sales volume but genuine game quality, and for no reason other than I love these games, I wanted to highlight some. If even one who reads this gets or checks out even one of these games, I would be a happy man. 🙂 So here we go! Quadroids Amazing pixel art-based game that's actually really original. Would have loved to have seen this kick off in a big way, it's incredibly fun and quite challenging. https://lnkd.in/eN4bG4Hh Station to Station This game generated a bit more noise, but I guess they would have wanted this to break out more. It's a wonderful, chilled game that deserves plaudits for doing things its way. I love it. https://lnkd.in/eCnJtH3z Death Trash Highly weird and eccentric isometric RPG. I don't know what the heck is going on, but I'm loving it all the same. This one has potential for the future because it's in early access, but I think it will be a challenge because it's so weird and wonderful. Who knows, sometimes these games really breakthrough, and this has generated some traction in Early Access so I'm hoping it does well! https://lnkd.in/ekVKiBQT That is all! And if you made any of these games, you are amazing – thank you. The image is a screenshot from Station to Station, which I think is just soooo pretty. 🙂 #gamesindustry #gaming #videogames #gamers #gamingstudio

2moI recently learnt just how many games aren’t commercially sucsessful and it blew my mind! I do believe that game play will always come out on top. Death Trash seems a bit of me
