OnlySP: It’s no secret that indie games are on the rise. Even developers who have been in the industry for several years are getting into the indie scene, but why? Indie games give developers a freedom that they don’t normally get on large budget AAA titles. It allows them to focus on making what they want instead of what the people want, which is ironically exactly what we, the people, want.
Shaz from GL: "The way Journey evokes emotions through its narrative without using traditional storytelling methods is something no game has been able to replicate."

My fav indie game ever, played this on ps4 and ps5. Too bad it does not have a plat trophy.
Jenova Chen told us about the development of the game.
It takes skill to create games, so game developers are naturally smart people.
However, the term "smart games" gives off a holier than thou, hipster vibe that is unattractive. It would be honest to say that there are a lot of clever, thoughtful and creative indie games, a lot of fun arcade style ones, and a lot of dumb ideas too.
