I'm uhmurican, and I've only seen maybe a 16th of Trailer Park Boys, but when hearing the names "Cory and Trevor", my mind immediately went there lol is that what yall were referring to? Lmao.. Also, why did they recast Cory??
They also tend to install on Linux (free and open source OSes) natively (no Wine needed) and run smoother than their Windows versions. Dead Cells, Overload, Streets of Rage 4, Everspace, Huntdown, and Endless Sky all spring to mind.
Corporate suits love money, and if something is selling well of course developers are going to make those kinds of games, its much less complicated than your making it out to be, and live services are still the minority of AAA games, right now I'm looking at the 20 most recently released AAA games on ps5 and none of them are live service games and none of them have microtranactions, like 10% of AAA games have MTs
I abandoned the AAA gaming space about a year ago never to return. I'm more than happy with retro and indie games (like on the PICO-8). Better to game in moderation and saves a lot of money too!
A lot of people who grew up with retro video games now have the technology or the knowledge to make the games they always wanted to play themselves, using new tools and techniques to make old looking games look incredible rather than trying to chase the uncanny valley that is AAA "realism".
My god… 😂 I’ve never seen a video one of yours, but the “giggle bites” mess has me all [sensible chuckle] 😅 You’re killin me smalls! Seeing how these perform on a minipc that doesn’t cost $h!t… I’m loving it. I used to be all “how much power can I cram into this itx case!?” Yeah, these days I just want to play some awesome pixelart indie games and maybe file my taxes… maybe. 😅 Seems to be the thing I didn’t know I was missing!
Best gaming channel for me, who in the last couple of months just discovered retro emulation and the anbernic range of handhelds! After first playing video games in around 1982, things in many ways couldn’t be better for us oldies haha! Keep it up, ‘Dweeb!
Indies ARE the furture of gaming. AAA companies will slowly die off as the years role on. The biggest titles of last year and even this year arent AAA games. They are indie and AA games.
I need most of these games. Not the Strafe one or Mother Russia, but everything else. Lol. Also, thanks for the shoutout! I haven’t beaten Inmost either, but I love looking at it and loved playing it.
@@mechanicalmonk2020 Good work deserves profit, it's just that simple. AAA games want profit just by ticking boxes on a trending features list, and failing at that.
Exactly this. AAA industry is games by committee to create a product. Most indie games (that I can tell) are actually games made by people passionate about gaming, who hope to make money while making what they love. Product vs Art.
Now days AAA companys like EA thinks that they can throw us the same garbage with a lot of microtransactions and DLC and we are going to accept it?. No sir.
Thanks for keeping the indie games spirit alive, nostalgia overdose on this one, i rarely see "Mother Russia Bleeds" on lists, that game is beyond amazing. Also, i'm sure that you know it, but Noita is one of the best if not the best indie games ever made.
Holy moly. I didn’t even realize this is the review nitch I needed in my life. You are sooooo right. Keep being you TechDweeb. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite RUclipsrs.
I've always loved pixel art games. There are only a few AAA titles that interested me, such as Gran Turismo or Fallout. The best thing is that all I have to do is spend $100 on a used switch and I have access to all these beautiful pixels.
I LOVE indie games, because of your videos I pretty much play botvice everytime I have a short timespan to play and want some immediate action. The only AAA games I want to play nowadays are from the ps3 era (borderlands, bioshock, batman, etctera), probably because it was my last console, so i'm slowly buying those games when there is a sale on my country. Also I got to know more and more indie games after I watched your channel and Clemmy from Best Indie Games youtube channel, my wishlist inflated like a ballon and keeps expanding 🤣🤣
Some nice recommendations! And yeah, love me some Balatro. I think with "triple A" games or high budget games, it's mostly some of the western RPGs that can be hit or miss lately. But on the JRPG side, although the story trope can be repetitive at times, the quality of the higher budget series like Final Fantasy, Persona, Xenoblade Chronicles etc, are consistently high. You should give them a shot if you haven't already.
Halls of Torment and Balatro are among my addictions. But I might try some of your other suggestions! I also love survivorslikes and indie games in general.
That's why I now play retro and Indie games. Even though I don't have a console or a PC but I can honestly say that Indie and retro games are just fun! No overlapping cinematics, dragged on load times, non sensical huge updates, stupid DLCs, and micro transactions. We can still get immersive experiences on retro and Indie games without frustrating you and saves you some money. 👌
Ohh sick another Tech Dweeb video while I code at work! Also, as a 3rd year Game Dev student, this video made me happy. Not enough to get me out of the valley of dispair, but happy. I thank thy kind soul!
I found a game that came out three years ago, which I never heard of until now. It’s called DungeonTop and cost a mere $13-ish. Steam, PS4, and Switch. A perfect example of what you’re talking about. I don’t even touch AAA games anymore.
I miss the 360 era so much. It was peak gaming. Gaming needs a revolution. Games utilized gameplay mechanics that have proven to be timeless. Devs were like, It's a game, will get right to the point & focus on doing what u want really well. Modern Console libraries are lacking selection & quality so much. Devs should never stop taking inspiration from previous game gens. Timeless games don't need hyper realistic graphics. Some of the best games have unique art styles. Anytime i say this someone in the comments always says: "umm well we have indie games" but my point is we need these kind of game selection on CONSOLES as well. PC's have steam & tons of access to a unique library of creative projects. Look at the Game Library of the most recent game consoles? Now look at previous generation consoles? There's no competition. It's not even close to the PS2, N64, PS1, Xbox, GameCube, Dreamcast, 360, PS3, etc. If game devs & game companies realize they are wasting such insane amounts of $ & time to make a game that still runs so terribly (no matter if u have the best PC possible. Which proves it's how these games were made. Not the tech hardware needing a upgrade. I bet we haven't even come close to pushing modern hardware to it's limits yet) *So if devs & companies can see the benefit of them taking inspiration from previous game generation designs, they might realize it wouldn't take so long to make a game, it wouldn't cost so much money to make EACH GAME. Give these things a chance to prove they are capable of being timeless. Hopefully we see a resurgence of pure nerdy passion & focus from devs if they are allowed to just focus on smaller passion projects. Especially with today's technological advancements. Previous games should still inspire newer games no matter how far into the future we go. We shouldn't leave those unique aspects of gaming universe in the past. Hopefully the struggles of the modern day triple AAA games will organically shift change back towards a better direction. I just worry about the gaming industry being at a certain point where people who are severely out of touch with the core gaming community are the ones that are making the most decisions and forcing devs to do things they completely don't want to do because they know it's a bad idea.. I wish we didn't have so many game companies get bought out. I miss when a game was a project worked on by a group of passionate people who decided they wanted to create this passion project.. Now it's like a popular underground band getting bought out by a mega Corp and now they have full say in the way they play music and when they play music and what they say in their music.. I hope gaming snaps out of this dark chapter and they find their roots they left in the wake of the Y2K era..
I have been enjoying BallisticNG a lot recently, can't recommend it enough for anyone who likes a fast racing game! Also a lot of Balatro of course. Just bough Halls of Torment to try it on the deck later.
you're now responsible of the n-th enlargment of my wishlist ahahah Btw this time i pushed the subscribe button! Hope you make even more videos like this one
When games have budgets, I think a lot of people forget where that money goes, it's for paying for labour (now whether that labour money is going into the pockets of the people actually working on the game is another point, again leadership), people are THE most expensive aspect of any production, so just having loads of money isn't going to improve anything. It's more that it gives companies more time if the company is being managed adequately. So then its a question of leadership. Money is just a resource like anything else and has to be managed accordingly. Just having loads of it isn't going to equal into a better product.
I ended up only being interested in one of the games shown in the intro but not discussed. Thankfully a character name led me to the title, Sea of Stars. I will looking to play this!
i rarely comment, but, i have to say, because of you i bought a RX6400, once i get her running, i could not believe in my eyes. it is a good GPU, so, thanks.
I own an INDIE studio, and even though I use the term I don't really like it because in the end it doesn't make much sense, the gaming industry started with executives and millions of investments? ofc no, It was always a crazy guy or some friends creating games and conquering the world, even the AAA companies that many of us hate started like this, so Indie games are not something new, they are what they have always been... the pure and true gaming industry.
I have made Indy games a small part of my gaming Diet for a while now. I mostly started paying attention to them around the "new grounds" era and then again in the Xbox 360 era when "arcade" titles were a fun way of marketing smaller games and ports of OLDER arcade titles. Castle Crashers was a BIG hit on the 360 and now it's on basically everything. More recently, I have been enjoying hyperlight drifter, Tunic, and other great titles. Humble Bundle has been a GREAT source for keys for these types of games. GoG also.
I still play Wizorb on the PSP. That's how old the game is, and is still among the best of the puzzle RPG hybrids out there, and this one being quite unique as there is very few Breakout-style RPGs.
Nice video, man!👌👍 Im so excited for me to become a indie game developer, and start making some bad-ass/edgy, awesome games independently in the future!🤩 Also, not every triple AAA game is hot garbage. There are some good triple AAA games like Super Mario Brothers Wonder for a example. The best part about Super Mario Brothers Wonder is that the developers of Nintendo decides to start taking their time without any deadlines for Super Mario Brothers Wonder. God, I hope the developers of Nintendo (including the developers of Splatoon) decides to start making awesome games again without any deadlines like how they did with Super Mario Brothers Wonder. Other than that, reject triple AAA gaming, and embrace indie and AA gaming.
I'm happy to say that I already "own" about a third of those with another third of them on my wishlist! It's funny to me that AAA (and AAAA 😆) games have fallen so far behind for me. There are very few worth playing these days, none of which seem to be ready at launch. Definitely rooting for team Indie! 💚
Switch actually has a great indie collection. I used to buy lots of them there, but I stopped when Nintendo closed the 3ds eShop (and I'm sure they'll do the same thing to the Switch shop someday too).
With the exception of a few nimtembo games, I’ve wound up returning almost every AAA I’ve bought lately. The money somehow ends up in the pockets of indie devs and I end up having fun instead. Good money saver too because you typically don’t need a powerhouse of a computer to run them (my power pc has already doubled itself in price due to electricity bills)
These Mini PC definitely going in the right direction... However the Cheapest Steam Deck with a Dock is the system to beat for versatility at the moment.
I still fondly remember when Xbox started to do those "summer or arcade" or w/e it was called back on the 360, they put stuff like Castle Crashers on their store. That was the best thing to happen for gaming at the time, it's definitely paid off for us gamers. You know, getting the opportunity to find indies without hassle.
If you enjoyed Strafe, make sure to check out Nightmare Reaper (another indie rogue-lite boomer shooter). It is has amazing game feel and a wonderful old school art style!
Theres only one thing indie developers have more of than big companies, and thats passion for the game they are making. The only big company where you can still see a bit of passion for their work is nintendo but unfortunately they dont create new IPs like other companies do.
i haven’t played any of the AAA garbage in years. (except one or two nintendo games) I am very vulnerable with my adhd to all the micro transaction bs. And i haven’t regretted it the last 5 years or longer. Play Indie games, they are beautiful art!

Also, why did they recast Cory??
This is my first time watching this guy. Does he always make tpb references?
I’m glad other people here are also fans
Retro and Indie games are where it’s at.
Agreed
Facts
indie games aren't bogged down by trying to please corporate either 😂
Yet
They also tend to install on Linux (free and open source OSes) natively (no Wine needed) and run smoother than their Windows versions. Dead Cells, Overload, Streets of Rage 4, Everspace, Huntdown, and Endless Sky all spring to mind.
Exactly!
Shareholder Value. A.I.
Equity diverse and scaling innovation. All the buzz words 😂
Corporate suits love money, and if something is selling well of course developers are going to make those kinds of games, its much less complicated than your making it out to be, and live services are still the minority of AAA games, right now I'm looking at the 20 most recently released AAA games on ps5 and none of them are live service games and none of them have microtranactions, like 10% of AAA games have MTs
I've been saying this for a LONG time. Video games are art, and when artists are free to pour their love into their work, it shows. \m/
Well said!
AAA now stands for "an awkward attempt" at a game
Great video, and I agree with a lot of your choices! Indie games are amazing
One could say Indie games are all stuff and no fluff.
I abandoned the AAA gaming space about a year ago never to return. I'm more than happy with retro and indie games (like on the PICO-8). Better to game in moderation and saves a lot of money too!
The indie scene really excites me -- more so than most "AAA" titles these days. We need more coverage on the gaming sites and channels!
A lot of people who grew up with retro video games now have the technology or the knowledge to make the games they always wanted to play themselves, using new tools and techniques to make old looking games look incredible rather than trying to chase the uncanny valley that is AAA "realism".
I agree, the current game engines are more than powerful enough to make any games with PS1/early PS2 graphics.
Indie game not just better but Indie game is what games suppose to be.
100% agreed
More of these please. Indie devs need more love !
My god… 😂 I’ve never seen a video one of yours, but the “giggle bites” mess has me all [sensible chuckle] 😅
You’re killin me smalls! Seeing how these perform on a minipc that doesn’t cost $h!t… I’m loving it.

I agree a 100%. Indies and Retro ♥️

Games are works of art, and for that reason, if a game is not made by artists it will not be a work of art. Just that simple.
A developer wouldn't be able to make games without artists, a AAA game is nothing more than a big budget game made by a large developer
Indies ARE the furture of gaming. AAA companies will slowly die off as the years role on. The biggest titles of last year and even this year arent AAA games. They are indie and AA games.
I need most of these games. Not the Strafe one or Mother Russia, but everything else. Lol. Also, thanks for the shoutout! I haven’t beaten Inmost either, but I love looking at it and loved playing it.
This guy could totally be a voice actor for cartoons or anime.
He's got a perfect voice for the nerdy sidekick, like Sly Cooper's friend Bentley.
This is the real deal. Indies make games while AAA gaming industry is making products.
So if a game attempts to make a profit then it's by definition not indie, right?
@@mechanicalmonk2020 Good work deserves profit, it's just that simple. AAA games want profit just by ticking boxes on a trending features list, and failing at that.

Product vs Art.
Products are things you buy so yes indie games are products too
@mechanicalmonk2020 an indie game is just a low budget game made by a small developer
Now days AAA companys like EA thinks that they can throw us the same garbage with a lot of microtransactions and DLC and we are going to accept it?. No sir.
I can buy 5-10 amazing indie games for the price of one bloated unfun AAA game. I'm happy for that tradeoff!
Ea sports has a 35 billion dollar net worth unfortunately not everyone feels the same way as you, seeing as they keep buying the newest games
@@TechDweeb I Say the same here!.
Good videos by the way and keep up the good work!
Sadly, too many sheeple keep supporting the DLC / microtranactions business model.
Unfortunately, most people are gladly accepting it, which is why we are where we are
Thanks for keeping the indie games spirit alive, nostalgia overdose on this one, i rarely see "Mother Russia Bleeds" on lists, that game is beyond amazing. Also, i'm sure that you know it, but Noita is one of the best if not the best indie games ever made.
Added a bunch of these to my backlog, always appreciate more indie recommendations. Thanks Dweeb!

Chained Echoes is incredibly deep and well crafted for a single dev game. Add it to your list if you haven’t played it already.
Thanks for the list of games. I found a few games and added them to my wishlist
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite tech channels.
Thanks for saying so!
indies are already better just by considering the price and size
Awesome video General Dweeb. So many hidden gems in the Indie Game space.
What makes a good game is heart. Indie games are a labor of love.

Keep sharing the dank indie games with us lol I’m always looking for new fun ones
Great list. Added a few to the old wishlist.
Triple A games are for corporate. Indie and retro games are for the gamer.
Saved to my playlist, will definitely get some of these games when I get my hands on steam deck. thanks for the video.
Indie games that are passion projects tend to feel nostalgic.
Current AAA games are often too complex.
Some nice recommendations! And yeah, love me some Balatro.

These games will be great for my Steam Deck. Thank you 😊
Halls of Torment and Balatro are among my addictions. But I might try some of your other suggestions!
I also love survivorslikes and indie games in general.
Usually I’m stupid but it’s a good thing I discovered you today so I clicked the subscribe button so I wouldn’t be stupid today!
Inmost has an excellent soundtrack. I just love the sound in this game.
I looked into Archvale awhile ago and was pulled in with the description of Zelda and Enter the Gungeon. I loved this game.
the"you scratched my cd" guy
Did you just coin the term "Survivors-like" ? 😂😂😂 Found your channel today and I'm lovin' it!
That's why I now play retro and Indie games. Even though I don't have a console or a PC but I can honestly say that Indie and retro games are just fun! No overlapping cinematics, dragged on load times, non sensical huge updates, stupid DLCs, and micro transactions. We can still get immersive experiences on retro and Indie games without frustrating you and saves you some money. 👌
Fun video, really enjoyed it. Especially since I’m in the market for a mini PC to play indies on. Keep up the awesome work on your channel
Chained Echoes, Broforce, Soulstone Survivors. Boom - thats easily 300 hours of pure fun right there!
Strafe has the GREATEST commercial of ALL TIME.
Now now, Skull and Bones is not triple A, it's the worlds first QUAD A game.
Indie games are great! That is until the corporate overlords buy them out and take over. Remember when Minecraft was an indie game?
I normally don’t review individual games too often but Balatro was so good that I HAD to spread the good poker word.
Keep spreading the good word buddy!

Please more indie game recommendations. Thank yoooou.

These Mini PC definitely going in the right direction... However the Cheapest Steam Deck with a Dock is the system to beat for versatility at the moment.
How did I not know that Total Biscuit (John Bain) passed away... 😥... It's been 8 YEARS! I hope his family is ok, He is truly missed.
He was one of my favourites
Mother Russia Bleeds is a banger! Played the crap out of it with a lot of friends. They first say "nah" but then they end up buying it themselves
Wow! These are some great recommendations. I haven’t played any of these.
Loving a lot of these games.. inmost reminds me of teslagrad
I still fondly remember when Xbox started to do those "summer or arcade" or w/e it was called back on the 360, they put stuff like Castle Crashers on their store. That was the best thing to happen for gaming at the time, it's definitely paid off for us gamers. You know, getting the opportunity to find indies without hassle.
If you enjoyed Strafe, make sure to check out Nightmare Reaper (another indie rogue-lite boomer shooter). It is has amazing game feel and a wonderful old school art style!
Theres only one thing indie developers have more of than big companies, and thats passion for the game they are making. The only big company where you can still see a bit of passion for their work is nintendo but unfortunately they dont create new IPs like other companies do.
just so you know, but the developer of Archvale has tons of devlogs about the development process for the game
awesome video as always :)
couldn't find this PC in amazon CA, would you have any suggestion to fellow Canadians?
I'm a big fan of the 5700u mini PCs in terms of price:performance. This brand makes a good product - amzn.to/3vEavln
i haven’t played any of the AAA garbage in years. (except one or two nintendo games) I am very vulnerable with my adhd to all the micro transaction bs. And i haven’t regretted it the last 5 years or longer. Play Indie games, they are beautiful art!
