fun indie games?

[VinylxScratches]

I've been out of the loop with PC gaming. What are some fun indie games out there?

 

[IGemini]

Minecraft
Super Meat Boy
Limbo
World of Goo

These are some of the more popular ones lately. I can only speak to Minecraft though you'll want to find a server you like. I suggest buying that sooner than later, the price will go up from $15 once it goes gold in less than two weeks.

terraria

Best Indie game of 2011 - Space Pirates and Zombies (SPAZ) imo.

Most of my other suggestions have already been posted.

 

[TidusZ]

Orcs Must Die! - very good singleplayer
Dungeon Defenders - very good multiplayer

 

[The Green Bean]

Bastion - great narrative and visual style
SpaceChem - awesome puzzle game.

 

[Zenoth]

Plenty of Indie games on Steam to check out.

 

[MWink]

Hegemony: Philip of Macedon or Gold - Absolutely massive RTS with unique gameplay.
Terraria - Huge worlds with nice old school graphics.
Defense Grid: The Awakening - Futuristic tower defense.
The Binding of Isaac - Randomly generated dungeon crawler with tons of power ups/downs.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent - A Myst-like horror game with great atmosphere and story.
Hoard - Play as a dragon and collect treasure/gems/princesses/etc.

Orcs Must Die. Most fun, Indie or not that I've had in a while.
Trine is great too, and there is a Trine 2 coming out soon.

 

[Red Storm]

Stealth Bastard

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks fun. And you can't beat free.

I've been having a blast with The Binding of Isaac and Space Pirates and Zombies (SPAZ). Both games are excellent.

 

[greenhawk]

Orcs must die
Minecraft
Limbo (though more of a "developers are twisted" personally)
Magica (more of memorising spells and getting them wrong in the heat of battle)

not a multiplayer fan for indi games.

played a few others, but have not got far enough into them to say good or bad, those being terraria (2d minecraft personally) and bastion.

+++++ For Recettear. One of my favorite games.

Space Pirates and Zombies (SPAZ) is also great.

Defense grid is awesome.

Creeper World is also a great take on tower defense; give it a chance and see if you like it.

I guess they have a browser based demo now: http://www.addictinggames.com/creeperworld.html

Defense Grid
Sanctum

 

[Spoooon]

Been playing the crap out of Bastion lately.

Defense Grid and Sanctum are both good

 

[gonzaga1751]

lol at Orcs Must Die being indie

edit: surprised no one said Frozen Synapse watch TotalBiscuit's wtf its good.

 

[RandomSanity]

Bastion
Dungeons of Dredmor
Recettear
Space Pirates and Zombies
Magicka

Are pretty much the creme of the crop as far as I'm concerned. I probably forgot a few but I had the most fun with the above.

 

[Karstein]

Qwak.

Annoyingly hard, but great fun - Bit Trip Runner.
