Gaming 101:
Indie Games
 

In this series, we are learning how different aspects of video games work by playing games that offer an easy introduction to this one concept. This is designed for people new to gaming and aims to identify games with the least barriers. In this entry, we are looking at Indie Games.

These are games made by small studios or individual developers. This can mean that the art and production are simpler, but because of no company constraints, these games are often the most inventive and enjoyable for families. They can take risks on strange ideas and push the boundaries of play in new directions.

The games in this list offer a range of acclaimed Indie games that are a good place to start. Because the games don't have big marketing budgets they are often off the radar for families.
 
This list includes 33 games from the last 11 years, with 1,284 likes. They come from a range of different genres and play-styles and are all good games if you want to play your first indie game.
