Stela didn’t leave an impression on me as Limbo, Inside or even FAR: Lone Sails did. The game doesn’t break the established mold in any way which makes it hard to impress against such contrasting titles. This is not a bad experience per se, but it’s easily forgettable and I’m not sure which is worse.
(This article is based on a press copy of the game provided by the developer.)
Pros:
+ Artistic direction
+ Fantastic music
Cons:
– Simplistic gameplay
– Technical shortcomings
– Short
i played most of the popular ones just some smaller indie ones i missed but not all of them are great, usually people posted them here
orphan and the swapper also look very good
Yep the Swapper is a good one, although it's a bit more puzzle-oriented than the others. You could give a try to Black: The Fall, doesn't have the same amount of polish as Inside/Limbo but it's basically the same formula applied to a unique totalitarian setting. Planet Alpha suffers from simplistic mechanics but it's still enjoyable and offers some sexy vistas. I would also add DARQ, it's extremely short but quite brilliant in its own way. Never Alone is worth checking as well, if only for its charm.
I didn't mention Unravel and Little Nightmares because I'm assuming you've already played them. And if you haven't, do it asap
yeah i played all the ones you mention except planet alpha which i had already on my list, i dont mind that some are puzzle oriented, its even a plus, i mostly look into 2d side scrolling games with dark atmosphere, but i also played other types of side scrolling games like ori or unravel but cant get into hollow knight/super meat boy for example, or game which you collect coins. i also put oddsworld new n tasy on the list
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
