While you have giant companies like Blizzard, Riot Games, and Bethesda releasing games all the time, there’s always those indie companies that get outshined. Here at GameTyrant we have a love for those indie companies, and here are our top 5 indie games of 2023. (In no particular order)

1. Dredge - 9/10

Dredge was a game that I was interested in because I heard Lovecraftian horror plus fishing and I was so intrigued. I didn’t expect a game so eerie and chill at the same time. I loved every minute of Dredge and I still play it here and there months after beating it.

2. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew - 9/10

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is another creation in the Shadow Tactics universe this time instead of Samurai you get pirates. Pirates are never a bad idea, this game took me by surprise because I expected to like it but this game took it’s combination of tactics and stealth to a whole new level.

3. Dave The Diver - Not Rated On Our Site

Dave the Diver is a game that tickles all parts of the gaming mind, survival, challenge, collecting, and exploration. Dave the Diver was a relaxing game with some unique gameplay and some stunning visuals that delivered in almost every way.

4. The Last Faith - 9/10

The Last Faith is another one of those “Metroidvania” games, just kidding, it’s more of a Castlevania x Bloodbourne type game that just flows so well. Everything from that artwork to voice acting in this game we have to be happy about.

5. Bramble: The Mountain King - Not Rated On Our Website

Bramble: The Mountain King is a game that took us all by surprise. With some truly stunning visuals and a real creep factor to some of the creatures in the game we were amazed with what this game turned out to be.
