How to pick your next indie game on Xbox One


Add in a really good soundtrack and you've got an indie game that ticks all the right boxes. Its visual style is excellent, its bosses are fun and the dungeon design is classic and rewarding to explore, as are the many secrets it offers up to more dedicated players. Hollow Knight is a treasure that takes notes from classics like Super Metroid and Dark Souls. You'll slowly find your way through an extensive map, tackling challenging boss encounters and figuring out how to stop corruption at the heart of the underworld. It's melancholy and wondrous, with hand-drawn art that draws you into an underworld populated by bugs and critters, some friendly and most out to kill you. This beautiful game is the product of a tiny team and has a distinctive and memorable tone. It's a joy to play and needs as wide an audience as possible. Whether you go about doing just that or waste your time searching for booze and drugs is up to you, with countless other options that are all equally enticing, and the degree to which you're free to shape your own narrative is amazing. Disco Elysium places you in the shoes (once you find them) of a failing detective who's on a huge bender and needs to turn things around by solving a crime. The most audacious and stunning RPG we've played for ages just happens to also be an independent game.
