Video games that have been created by independent studios have recently become more important for the video game industry in general, since they usually have different proposals, since it is often in them that true innovation occurs, since their developers can experiment and play with the story, mechanics, and gameplay at your mercy.
Last year was a very good one for this genre, as there were many indie games released that drew attention, and one of them was even the winner of GOTYE 2021.
Some of the games that you will see on this list were proposed for last year but their releases were postponed for this year, so this year can be a very good one for indies too as it could be even better for these titles. .
We leave you a list with 6 different interesting proposals for indie games, which will be released this year:
