The 10 Best Indie Games of 2013 That You Should Play

<br>While you'll certainly still need to craft armor and weapons, you don't need to worry about it right off that bat. Pretty soon into the game, you'll be attacked by a couple of Vampire Bats , basically the equivalent of the Hounds in the vanilla game. They might seem formidable, but you really don't need to deal with them much at all, provided you're near the Hamlet. Run right over to some of the Pig Guards, and they'll take care of those Vampire Bats for you. Just be sure not to accidentally hit one of the guards; they don't seem to take that very w<br><br> <br>Well, there can be a steep cost for your thievery. The moment you grab something that doesn't belong to you, the Pig Guard that spends day and night protecting the goods will make it their life mission to ensure they pry back what you stole from your cold, dead hands. And believe me; they don't have a short mem<br> <br>Made it through the Humid season? Welcome to the Lush season , full of brambles, hay fever, and sneezing. You'll definitely need a way to cut a path through all of the new plant life, and a way to deal with the hay fever would come in handy, too. Every time you sneeze your sanity goes down, and you might drop some items, as well. Wearing a gas mask will stop the sneezing, though the gas mask lowers your sanity, as w<br><br> <br>There's no guarantee that you will love Gone Home , but one thing is sure, you will want to talk about it when you finish. For those with an open heart, there is a touching story about themes gaming rarely tackles hidden in that lonesome house. For those more jaded, they will find a maddening bait and switch that raises the debate of interactive narrative vs. gameplay. But for a short three hour experience, it is well worth your t<br><br> <br>Proteus came out way back in January and thus, has probably been forgotten by some as one of the best experiential games of the year. This game is the most, for want of a better word, 'arty' on this list and it's another example of a game that has come under fire for 'not being a <a href="https://Svadba-Vals.ru/go/url=-aHR0cDovL1d3dy5nei1qai5jb20vY29tbWVudC9odG1sLz82MTkzODEuaHRtbA">SLG game online guide</a>'. But if you can open your mind enough, Proteus is one of the best audio/visual experiments we've seen in a long t<br><br> <br>Reus has players take charge of four huge elemental avatars, allowing you to terraform an earth and maximize its output to please the population. This is a god game that isn't about imbuing the player with all the power of an omnipotent being. This is a game about how futile that power is in the face of human gr<br><br>A quick stroll north, carefully circumventing the robots patrolling an area I don't have weapons strong enough to survive venturing into yet, and I find the skeletal corpse of an adventurer who died with his boomerang, which is not only a very helpful item but also frees up the resources I'd already gathered for other things. I've never gotten to use a boomerang before, though, so the first thing to do is find something to chuck it at. Tossing it at a crow nets a black feather, useful in a crafting recipe for... something. I'll look it up when I get back to camp. Unfortunately it also comes back and smacks me in the face, knocking my health down to just above nothing. That didn't go well but practice makes perfect, and it seems like a nicely powerful weapon so obviously the smart thing to do is use it again as quickly as possible. Turns out practice makes dead, and I'm all out of sacrificial altars for revival. The unforgiving lands of Don't Starve have killed me again, but next time will go better. Probably.<br><br> <br>The first piece of advice I can give is to find the town that the expansion is named after. You don't spawn in the Hamlet , and sometimes, it's quite the walk to get there. I've sunk quite a few hours into Hamlet over multiple saves, and in my experience, the town was typically about half an in-game days walk from where I spaw<br><br> <br>There’s our pick of ten of the best permadeath games around.

This year, the fifth for the relatively young award ceremony, is quite a bit different. Reboot Communications and EP Media are moving the show this year from Vancouver FanExpo, where it's traditionally been held, to Toronto but recently delayed the production to the fall where the 2013 awards will be announced alongside (but separately from) the 2014 awards as w<br><br> <br>Spelunky proved to be so popular in its free-to-play form that developer Mossmouth then proceeded to create an Xbox Live Arcade version of the title. The re-release upped the ante with improved graphics and controls, as well as additional monsters and traps to avoid, and secrets to find. The enhanced edition proved to be a critical darling, even winning three IGF awa<img src="http://www.imageafter.com/image.php?image=b17maartent739.jpg&dl=1"; style="max-width:400px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="" /><br>
