Can you recommend some?

A good indie game to try is Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (a game similar to Jet Set Radio).

Favorite indie game of the year for me!

Or you can also buy a Switch and play Nintendo games if you want that feeling in AAA games.

I haven't played it yet, but I watched a friend play and it looks so freaking fun

One game I would recommend to people who enjoyed Astro Bot is A Hat in Time, that game is brimming with the same kind of charm

I agree! Though AstroBot isn't exactly an indie studio. 60 people on a dev team funded by Sony isn't exactly falling in line with "independent developer" but like that's the same kind of problem Dave the Diver suffered from.

Oh, yeah for sure. I'm saying that this is a AAA that captures the same indie spirit!

I mean Nintendo kinda does that. Smaller tighter scope games rather than trying to cram everything under the sun into it.

fabraz.bsky.social•172 days ago

Yup

This game’s budget and development is more comparable to a typical Nintendo release. Sony’s Japanese studios were good about that but they closed all of them but one.
