2024 was a remarkable year for indie games and 2025 looks like it's going to be just as good. I compiled a list of 20 of my favorite upcoming indie games in the new year. Some of these I've had my eye on for years and am happy to see they're finally coming out.

I researched hundreds of Kickstarter campaigns since 2021 to find the most successful, tracking how much money they earned, how many backers they had, their country of origin, and whether or not they've since released. What I found might surprise you! Or it might not! Or maybe you'll be mildly interested!

Smoked Tomato Truffle Jam is not something I ever thought I'd see, but here it is. Created by Fischer & Wieser from Texas, this claims to be great on a charcuterie board or great on bread and sandwiches. But does it's smokey and sweet taste overpower the subtler flavors? And does it actually taste any good to begin with?

Astro Bot is an incredible experience from the moment you open the box. Or download it, if you went that direction. It's a joyful experience that is both a celebration of PlayStation and gaming in general. It's characters from dozens of franchises, bright and cheerful music, gorgeous art style and graphics, and excellent platforming make this truly one of the best video games I've ever played.

Otherskin is a third person shooter that plays like your favorite, obscure, janky action adventure game from the PS3 era. It has a lot going on, with unique powers you absorb from defeated enemies, an array of weapons and power-ups, and a story that feels a lot like Returnal.

The Switch is known for having a ton of great indie games, and a ton of great retro games. It stands to reason that it also has a lot of fantastic retro-inspired indie games. Too many, even. Today's video is all about showcasing the ten best retro indie hidden gems on the Nintendo Switch!

October is going to be a big month for indie games. With a lot of variety - from creature collectors, horror games, rally racing, and so many more - I found 19 great indies you should check out.

Astro Bot is the best game of 2024. It's the best 3D platformer I've ever played and its one of the best games I've ever played. Not to hype it up too much.

Akimbot is a cross between Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter that has the misfortune of being a robot-themed 3D platformer that released a week before another PlayStation-centric, robot-themed 3D platformer.

Akimbot is a 3D Platformer that blends Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter. It still has unique ideas of its own, though. But does this lively platfomer live up to either PlayStation legend?

House Flipper 2 initially left me a little disappointed when it first released. I liked it, but it was lacking in basic features. And it got me wondering: "are there better house flipper games out there?" This video is the result of my months long journey to find out. And boy did I find some weird stuff.
