2023 is full of upcoming releases I can't wait to play, but these 5 indie games (and a couple bonus games at the end) are very high on that list. There's unexpected sequels as well as fully original new ideas that sound like exactly my kind of game. These are the 5 indie games I can't wait to play. 0:00 - Indie games rule 0:34 - A sequel?! 1:31 - Spooky tactics 2:29 - A spooky sequel 3:23 - Tony Hawk in hell 3:51 - Eerie space story 4:26 - Bonus games!

ALL of my links - https://MattHorton.live Welcome to Terra Nil, the unique city-builder game that challenges you to restore a barren planet rather than exploit it for resources. In this game, you're not the typical city-builder where you bulldoze forests, pollute rivers and strip-mine mountains to build your metropolis. Instead, you must work with nature to heal the planet and create a thriving ecosystem. And it's the first game this year to truly blow me away. 0:00 - What is Terra...

The government of Arstotzka has just ended a war with the neighboring country of Kolechia, and the player character has been appointed as an immigration inspector as the tensions from that recent war continue. Papers, Please is also a game that reminded me too much of my real life. 0:00 - This makes me...

While Elden Ring has generated a lot of buzz and excitement, there are other games that interested me more in terms of gameplay, storytelling, and overall enjoyment. I'll be sharing my top picks for the best games of 2022 and explaining why I think they're the ones you should play. If you're a fan of Elden Ring or just want to know what other games to catch up on from this year, you'll find something great to play here. These are my favorite games of 2022.

Citizen Sleeper asks you to decide if escape is possible. It took several minutes of impasse and tears and not touching my controller, for fear of making a decision before I was ready, for me to know what I thought about that question. Citizen Sleeper gives you several potential answers and in the ones that resonated with me was the kind of deep personal freedom you only find, sure enough, through community. Citizen Sleeper is about disability and body dysmorphia and the inevitability of...

So Twitter is going to be a private company again. They have agreed to a purchase offer of $44 billion dollars, and listen, I have **_zero_** desire to talk about who made that offer. I just don't care and find any time spent talking about the person to be wasted energy.

Andrew Shouldice, creator and lead developer of Tunic, was actually heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda, a game known for having many secrets that, depending on your perspective, are either genius or obtuse. But Tunic is heavily inspired also by games like Fez, Dark Souls, and Elden Ring. These are all games I have never played. Tunic got me to love a Soulslike.

13 Sentinels pumps out huge reveals, twists and turns that are actually meaningful to its characters rather than being empty fan service, and just super fun story beats every few minutes. And it wears its many sci-fi inspirations on its sleeve. 13 Sentinels is ostensibly a game about teenagers with secret powers that let them call down giant mechs to protect their city from kaiju attacks. But there's also an alien invasion plot line, a time travel element, and even an 80s high school drama....

The Forgotten City has a VERY corny ending, and I LOVE it. I love it so much that I played The Forgotten City for a second time just to tell you why. This isn't a review, and it's not a video about The Forgotten City Skyrim mod. Instead, it's me trying to figure out why the ending to the 2021 worked for me and sharing that with you. I love making these kinds of videos, so please settle in and let me know in the comments if you liked it. @JacobGeller's video about The Forgotten City -...

The Epic vs Apple lawsuit winner is NOT who you think it was, no matter if you think it was Epic or Apple. A decision was reached by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in the Epic Games vs Apple, Inc. case, and by the headlines you might think Apple lost. But they only lost on 1 of 10 counts. It's the importance of that count versus the others that leads to the misunderstanding. In this video we talk about the Epic vs Apple Lawsuit, why Epic Games is appealing, and why I think this is still very...

I had been writing a video about the Nintendo Switch Pro and why it wasn't necessary, but LOL Nintendo drops the Nintendo Switch (OLED model) on us this morning on Twitter. The reaction is...as you might expect of the internet. People are mad that it's not the 4K output, bluetooth audio, Super Nintendo Switch of our dreams. People are mad at Bloomberg for "getting it wrong." But Nintendo never promised any of that. They just announced a Switch (OLED model) that was better than the last...

Apple App Store guidelines - Apple answers questions about hookup apps and vigilante justice Uh..... I tweeted about Apple's new App Store rules....and they replied? Via the press, but still. In this video I tell you why I was scared, why I had questions Apple needed to answer about the App Store, and why Grindr, Scruff, Tinder, and other hookup apps might have been in danger (and might still be). The Apple hookup app ban isn't real yet. But Apple IS being prudish again. Let's talk about...

Abandoned Island - Animal Crossing New Horizons I haven't played Animal Crossing in a while. I bet you haven't either. The game does a lot to shame you when you log back in after a long time, and I have my own guilt attached to my abandoned island. I also have a lot of parallel guilt and shame attached to my body and how I treated food when I was originally playing Animal Crossing New Horizons. That connection is what this video is about. Obvious CONTENT WARNING for body image talk, food...

Xbox Cloud Gaming iOS Beta is DISAPPOINTING - Xbox games in the browser I FINALLY got my Xbox Cloud Gaming beta invite since I'm a member of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. I've reviewed a BUNCH of cloud gaming services here on the channel and wanted to do this one, because I want it to be great. I have an Xbox Series X that I love and would love to be able to play Xbox Game Pass games on my iPhone or in my office on my Mac. But it's just not where I want it to be. It can work in some cases but...

Apple Discord NSFW server BAN and why iMessage will never come to Android Discord is age-gating NSFW servers (GREAT) and hiding them ENTIRELY on iOS because Apple asked them too (NOT GREAT). This Apple/Discord NSFW server ban is just like all the other ridiculous attempts to make the Internet have less sex. It's silly, and it has (SURPRISE) antitrust implications. You thought we were going to talk about a ban in the Apple Discord app and NOT talk about App Store policies and antitrust? 0:00...
