Want to Try Something Out of the Trend? These 5 Indie Games Will Expose You to a Whole New World in 2023

Every year, tons of games launch for various platforms. Games like God of War, The Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario sell millions of copies and break numerous sales records while simultaneously earning some rave reviews.

However, aside from them, many indie games launch too. Out of these, some of them get the traction they deserve, while others turn into underrated, lesser-known classics. If you are interested in such small games, here are 5 indie games coming in 2023 not to be missed at any cost!

Goodbye Volcano High

This is a mystery game wrapped in the thin layer of a social simulator starring some really interesting characters. All characters are a bunch of anthropomorphic animals, presented in very beautiful-looking 2D visuals. From its trailers, it looks like its soundtrack would be something special too.

Replaced

Replaced is a very dark 2D platformer set in the near future. From the trailers, it appears as if this game would have some fugitive kind of story to tell. This would be cleared soon enough, but one thing that is already looking pretty cool is this game’s visuals.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

For fans of the Jet Set Radio series, this game might end up being a godsend. It’s definitely a spiritual successor to the fast-paced, music-powered video game. The best part about this game is that it would feature music from the composer of the original game. The game will be launched on pretty much every platform later this year, and this wait keeps getting unbearable by the day.

Lies of P

Pinocchio is a well-known fairy tale character, and Bloodborne is considered by many to be the best FromSoftware game to this date. What could be the relationship between these two very different fictional properties? Well, you can find out in this Bloodborne-inspired game starring Pinocchio. The game looks creepy and is set in a Victorian London-esque city. The best part is that this game is a Soulsborne title.

Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals

Yes indeed, this is the direct sequel to Oxenfree, that mysterious, heartfelt science fiction title that touched everyone to the core. This game will be launched later this summer and is published by streaming giant Netflix. Depending on how good the predecessor was, this game is sure to be a worthwhile investment of one’s time.

These are but a few names out of many that you can enjoy this 2023. Did we miss any game that you are looking forward to? Which unknown underappreciated classics do you love playing? Let us know in the comments.
