These indie games are so creative and innovative compared to many AAA titles.
2025 has already had some massive hits in the AAA games space, with titles like Doom: The Dark Ages, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Avowed making up some of the biggest releases so far. The indie space hasn't been quite either. In fact, it's been where some of the best games so far this year have come from. Indie games have the ability to be more innovative than AAA games, which need to have broad appeal to succeed. The indie games on the list feel like new evolutions in specific genres, like turn-based RPGs and puzzle games, while others feel so unique in what they are doing that it becomes innovation by default.
