Hey everyone! Untitled Goose Game, Celeste DLC, Ori and the Blind Forest Coming to Switch, and Killer Queen Black have us excited about all the wonderful indie games out there so we made a whole episode about them! There are a lot of great indie games that are coming which we're excited about as well and we look at what Indie games bring to the gaming industry overall. 

We recommend this episode for anyone that is looking for other indie games to find (although most of these are very famous) or love hearing about some of their favorite indie games. Especially good if anyone hasn't jumped onto the indie game hype-train yet. 

What are some of your favorites? What did we miss in our discussion? Let us know!
