Indie games are worth your time 18 ▲ Chris Kirk-Nielsen 47 days ago · Gaming · hide · 5 comments I don’t know if you play video games, but it’s likely you enjoy games in one form or another. Maybe you play a cozy game on your phone, a card game on your work computer (definitely only during breaks), or a cute adventure game on your gaming console. And table top games count, too, of course! NoteThere is no such thing as a real gamer or not, only gamers and gatekeepers. I mostly play on PlayStation, and a bit on PC, but also play a lot of sudoku on my phone (yes I am 400 years old), and the occasional word puzzle on my work computer. I’d like to focus on indie video games, though, for this post in particular. Or at least, indie in how they feel, since the term has lost a bit of its meaning, much like indie music, in my mind’s ear. I’ve played through a handful of few smaller games recently.

I’ve been so tempted to pull the trigger on Mixtape but wonder if I have the time to play… the library of unplayed titles is already so vast.And Dave the Diver has monopolized my time as of late. Christopher Kirk-Nielsen @chriskirknielsen@front-end.social 39 days ago [-] @lyteforce Glad to share! For what it's worth, I've heard Mixtape can be done in a single playthrough, around 5-ish hours, though I know that can still be a lot. (I played the first chapter and I'm digging the vibes!) Chris Golden @lyteforce@mstdn.games 39 days ago [-] @chriskirknielsen The music alone caught my interest, and the trailer gave me serious Firewatch vibes.Oh Firewatch.. another game I never finished. LOL.
