Aka no Fez shit.

Uh, if these are indie (I think they are?) Braid, LIMBO, World of Goo.

All are indie darlings, so yes.

Cool. I got World of Goo free and the other 2 during a sale. :P I am not up on game news so I only know whatever is super popular.

Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal, Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten, Recettear

Dat dere Journey doe. (I also really liked flOw)

I also particularly enjoyed Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Guacamelee!. Rock Band was fun, and does technically count as an indie title, even though the commercial success was... well. Huge. And since according to wikipedia DoubleFine and Telltale also count as indie devs, I can add Brutal Legend and The Walking Dead to the list.

I didn't like LIMBO or Bastion at all: they both pinged as a little too pretentious and tryhard for my liking.

Pathologic and The Void are both games I have studied but not beaten. Same goes for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (which you may or may not count as an indie title).

If we're including shareware, then Quest for Glory (the series), Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, A Boy And His Blob, Castle of The Winds, and Willy Beamish all get top marks for childhood nostalgia factor.

I mentioned Risk of Rain yesterday. It's the only roguelite Totalbiscuit actually likes, emphasizing the action-RPG side of the equation to make combat feel fun and satisfying. It also has a great risk-reward mechanic.

The Fall (from Over the Moon Games) has a strong and consistent atmosphere, and it's clearly out to explore some interesting philosophical territory. It can be difficult, and requires some out-of-the-box thinking.

Nihilumbra is very philosophical, and probably qualifies as modern art. The platforming's no slouch, either, particularly in the murderous new game plus.

Shattered Haven . . . There's no quick way to sum this up, so I'll copy my Steam review:

"To understand this game, first imagine a 9.5-rated action puzzler on Armor Games. (Alternatively, it could be on Newgrounds, but this is more an Armor Games sort of game.) Now imagine it expanded into a full-length game, with more levels, more weapons, more enemies, and the same base mechanics and production values. You're not getting anything here that you couldn't get in a basic form for free on the Internet, but you're getting it thoroughly explored in far more combinations and permutations than you'd ever otherwise see. ("How about a level where you start with no weapons, but have a camouflage blanket to hide under?" "How about a level where you have eighteen water traps, unlimited time to set them before releasing the zombies, and sixteen zombies that normally take two water traps to kill?") If your interest is at all piqued by a hundred levels of luring zombies to their many possible dooms, lurch--don't shamble--to buy this game!"

Fez is a real indie game, kid.

It's not GOOD by any stretch of the imagination, but it's an indie game.

I like Journey a lot. Hotline Miami was a major influence on my taste in music. I fellate Kentucky Route Zero on a regular basis.

You'll probably hate all those.

Does La-Mulana count as an Indie game, since it was made by a small Japanese studio? One more in line, I really liked Reus.

I'm pretty sure it qualifies, yeah.

Journey and Bastion are obvious ones, but I still love them. The Fall, which Feotakahari mentioned, is great as well; cool story and atmosphere and I'm a sucker for stories centered on rogue AI. Dungeon of Dredmor is a fun rogue-like. Legend of Grimrock is cool as well, I like those kind of games. Lone Survivor is a great horror game, though I've never finished it. Aaaand, that's all I can think of right now. : P

Crimzon Clover: World Ignition, Danmaku Unlimited II, and Hydorah, currently. They're all shoot-em-ups--Crimzon Clover and Danmaku Unlimited are bullet hell shooters, and Hydorah is very Gradius-like.

I recently got Claire, a 2D horror game, on Steam, but I haven't played enough to make a judgment call yet.

"Real" indie games that no one knows about, as opposed to "fake" indie games that actually had success, or what's the point here?

Well suck on my love for Papers, please and The Stanley Parable.

How are you even defining "indie game?" Do you have a hipster definition?
