I've been gaming for about 25 years but somehow I've avoided playing pretty much any indie games since they became a (mainstream) thing. I'm looking to fix that in 2024 and have come up with a chronological list of indie games that appear on "best of" lists each year. I'm planning on doing one (or two) games per release year. Which game would you recommend for each year (that is on my list or not)
2008 - Braid
2009 - Machinarium
2010 - Limbo, Game Dev Story
2011 - Bastion, Binding of Isaac
2012 - Journey, Fez, Hotline Miami
