Middle Aged Gaming 2020's the Game Show: The Gold of the Indies
As a small time podcast, how could we not share the love with some our favorite small time games. That's right, today we're covering games made by independent developers (or "indies" for short). Today's three categories are something, old, something current, and something new. So listen closely because you might just discover and hidden gem.
Crian's Picks
Darkest Dungeon (Old)
Work your way through this dungeon delver. Make sure to keep your wits about you because you're gonna need 'em. Merging classic turn based combat with a sanity mechanic, this game is great for those who love a challenge and macabre mechanics.
Untitled Goose Game (Current)
Have you ever dreamed of what it would be like to be a goose?
I'm sorry, that's a stupid question. We all have! Well now that dream can become a reality. Torment the populace of an idyllic English village as you put the foul in fowl.
It's a bit short, but great for those who aren't looking for another time sink.
My Time at Sandrock (New)
Crian loved My Time at Portia, and now it's getting a sequel! Better yet, the only change to an otherwise successful formula is multi-player.
For those who enjoy Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, and the original My Time at..., keep your eye on this sequel.
Adam's Picks
Fez (Old)
Life is complicated. Just imagine if we added another dimension to work in.
Well, now you know the gimmick in Fez. Traverse 2D maps in a rotating 3D world. It make take some patience, but with no conditionals for failure, it can still be a relaxing ride.
Windbound (Current)
Set sail for parts unknown in this island hopping survival game. Hoard resources, build tools, and improve your boat as you navigate this procedurally generated world to reunite with your people.
Black Myth: Wukong (New)
Taking liberally from Journey to the West, this game will follow Sun Wukong ("Monkey" for those who've read certain English translations) in a much grittier version of this classic Chinese tale.
It's still early but it's looking like this may be another soulsborne style game. We don't have much information yet but keep an eye on it until it relea
