You got some fucking heavy hitters.

Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Celeste, Cuphead, Papers Please, Stanley Parable, Owlboy...

But, what is your favorite of the last 5 years?

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, no contest

Runner up goes to Spelunky, but only because it came out 6 years ago now.

Slay the Spire, Desd Cells, Into the Breach, Enter the Gungeon, and The Binding of Isaac Rebirth are missing from the list.
Also is Divinity Original Sin 2 an indie game? It was a kickstarter wasnt it?

From the depths, the thing they called Worm King did rise.
Nirn itself did scream in the Mages' and Necromancers' war.

Isaac wins via legacy alone. It really did usher in the era of the modern rogue like.

Hollow Knight for me.
But I also really liked Rogue Legacy, Dead Cells, Sundered, and a bunch of others I can't think of at the moment.

That's really fucking tough. I'd been playing nothing but indie greats for most of that time.

Beyond those listed, Hyper Light Drifter, Don't Starve, Hotline Miami, Party Hard, Darkest Dungeon, Gunpoint, Faster Than Light, Chroma Squad, Kentucky Route Zero, Kingdom, and Risk of Rain.

All of these induced that snot-dripping, unblinking engagement of that formless perfection of a game cycle.

And that's not even all of them! Those are off the top of my head!

See that? I forgot to mention undertale. Maybe because it's so popular that I forgot it was "indie".

Oddworld: New n Tasty.

La-Mulana 2 is a possible contender, but I can't really comment until I've finished it.

Hollow Knight

definitely not fucking Owlboy

Owlboy is the most beautiful game I've ever played, but also the biggest letdown in recent memory. It's not bad, but it's clear that the design goals were disjointed.

At first you get this giant starter area that gives you plenty of room to maneuver and flit about, and that's great.

The rest of the game is hallways.
