The Game Developers Conference, an annual gathering that brings thousands of game developers to San Francisco, has just wrapped up. Although most of the event is about interesting conversations about networking and game design and technology, there was also a group of Indi Games that we had to check. Yes, most video games in 2025 will probably be defined by Nintendo Switch 2 and Grand Stolen Auto VI. But based on the games we played, there may be some really entertainment small titles that can be a great success this year.
Here are some of our favorites we look forward to.
The dream of another Have a shooter, but you use your gun Create Instead of destroying the world around you. The graphics of this game have a fantasy, a decaying quality for them, and when you shoot things, the colorful, unconstitutional scenes you see will be stable in things like buildings and people. Unexpectedly, my short demo ended with a more traditional firing exchange against an emotional corps. (I even lobed a couple of hand grenades to try and destroy it.) But I am interested in the overall concept, and I look forward to seeing what developer Cue Games does with her in the last version of the game.
I DurationYou play as a shooting star and try to make a tower. This game requires pressing and holding a button just to make a trail, rotating around other stars, and mainly playing a heavenly game of Connect the Dot. This is a simple concept, but I immediately. It was affected. In just 10 minutes of demo, I was really starting to hang my shooting star speed to revolve around a star to rotate around a star. It is taken in making all the time Duration My favorite game of my show far and far away. – JP
Hurry: broken worlds Is like the 3D version of the classic mobile game Small wings. You play as a zoo, a girl who moves at the pace of blindness through practically born surface. Like with Small wingsHere are the rolling hills that you can launch for height, and if you give your time to fall on another hill curves, you will get a satisfactory “perfect” message and a meter promotion that allows you to remove the hoverboard. This game has a Rogyalak structure, so you will choose and choose different types of different types of different levels to deal with your way through the run. On the floor of the show, I was terrible, before I had to hand over the controller to the next person, before he had died in a few levels. But as soon as I returned to my hotel room, I downloaded the game Free demo on steam. -jp
Herb The mysterious, sharp beasts works you with a flock. In my demo, the character begins in a dark city before coming up to the three dear beasts before coming up early, reminding me of a big goat Sesame StreetMr. Snuffleupagus. Your goal is to get them out of the city and out of the Wilder pastures. You move the animals backwards with a magic wand, and when they usually follow your directions, they sometimes find it difficult to guide. More than once, my three flock went into a wall. However, by the end of the demo, I really started to take care of my sharp friends, especially since you can name them – though I can only imagine the cruel ways that developer will draw my hearts during full adventures. – JP
It is like a super -group video game. Gochi “Soda 51” is famous for soda (off -killer sports Killer 7 And No more heroes) Haditka has worked together with “Swear 65” Sohiro (behind behind the writer and director) Deadly offer And, recently, Good life) Silesh is based on a highly challenging and pathogeized game in the world affected by films. In a short time with the game, I died many times, but the action -stricken action felt very satisfactory, especially once I got control. There is a clean feature where you can fight with the past picture of your previous run, which seems to work. The experience I did not have was the turning point of the inevitable realism that the two creators have presented to the horror sequence, but the fundamental solid.
Slip Stick Comedy Games is really coming into itself late. And if you like The gameless laughter game Or Thanks for good that you are hereThis is definitely the one to keep an eye on. The name really says all this: You control the long and long arm and try to … work, most of which are illegal. The surface I played was on the moving train, and you were assigned the task of stealing goods from the passengers while it was not known (probably because the arm is terrifying). It has a puzzle element. At one point, I needed to take a brief case from the sleeping businessman, just to find out that he was in the wrist. Of course it’s funny, but it’s absolutely appealing
t to to There is a delightful game about a young man who is permanently caught in T -Pose. Is from the game Skill The creator of the series, Kata Takahashi, is, of course, it is invasive and stupid. My demo consisted of a wider sequence of brushing, musical number and a conversation giraffe. But the demo also indicated the fear of the role of the school and the bullying on the state of their tea window. I was wondering how much he made me care of the character, and if the story stays on landing, it could make a game that might be more thoughtful with some thought. It’s out on May 28. – JP
