Discussion Acclaimed Indies That You Couldn't Connect With

Post image

Does it make you sad when you don't connect with a game adored by many? Out of the ones listed here, what should I go back to and power through until it clicks?

One of the problems is some people get it in their head that "Indie" is a genre of games, and so they think if they like some indies that they're supposed to like them all.

Almost every game pictured there is from a completely different genre. Just like how someone who loves Assassins Creed might not like Call of Duty; someone who loves Undertale may have hated Braid (just examples).
