After the initial boom of Indies back in the early 2010s, with titles like Super Meat Boy, Fez, Braid, and LIMBO all paving the way, first-class indie games have become much more frequent, with at least a few Game of the Year contenders releasing every year. Last year saw Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Loop Hero, and Death's Door release, all of which were truly excellent experiences that easily rivaled even the biggest AAA titles. This year, the wonderfully unique Cult of the Lamb may just be the breakaway star of the industry.
