Chris- Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Between the poor labor conditions at major game studios and the ingenuity of small/independent developers, I have grown quite fond of indie games as of late. They introduce innovative design/mechanics, unique art styles, and riff on established genres with an entrepreneurial spirit. By all accounts I would say buying an indie game constitutes supporting a small business (relative to the size of the industry), and these are some of the indie games I would encourage you to buy on Small Business Saturday: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I haven’t played much of paradise killer yet though I do own it on switch. The story is so fucking weird right at the start that it was a lot to take in as high as I was when I went to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPCyric Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 This is a great idea maybe I will go ahead and get Blasphemous since it is 50% off now. Question... Can it be played with a DPad only controller? Currently don't have anything with analog sticks other than my Quest controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkstark Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I finally bought Pyre because it was on sale, it's not Hades but I'm happy to give supergiant my money. I might double dip on Slay the Spire, and I'd like to pick up risk of rain 2 but waiting for a better sale. The pathless also looks good but zero chance I'm spending $40 on it.

Great game, though not everyone will love it. (I did) Slay the Spire is amazing. Super addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be waiting a few years to see what Nintendo releases next. I was thinking about a new PC but changed my mind and plan on upgrading to a 4k TV next instead. So maybe after that i can get a new PC in a couple years? I'll probably try to get the series X late 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
