2012 was also the first year I played Thomas Was Alone. As indie games become more mainstream, developers began to gain attention and were even highlighted in the 2012 documentary Indie Game: The Movie which featured the developers of Super Meat Boy, Braid, and Fez. There were a few indie successes such as Cave Story and Braid (and Minecraft, which actually got a head start and huge success as an early access game), but nothing like the success of the current indie hits. Before 2010, indies were still very much underground. In the years to come, gamers were introduced to Minecraft, Journey, Gone Home, Stardew Valley, Undertale, Hollow Knight and Cuphead, just to name a few. Kickstarting it off in 2010 was Super Meat Boy and Limbo. The 2010s was also easily the best decade ever for indie games. It kicked off with such games as Heavy Rain, Red Dead Redemption, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Rocky Band 3.
The 2010s was another great decade in gaming. The piece has been corrected to acknowledge the actual writer, Achi Ikeda. Editor’s Note: This article was erroneously credited to EiC Robert Marrujo.
