We're still a gaming community right guys?
Hoping we can compile a trustworthy-ish list of indie games that are actually worth a damn. I'm maybe a single toe deep into the Indie game world.
What are some of your recommendations?

Gravity Circuit: A Megaman X/Zero like with a heavy focus on melee combat and on-the-fly kit customization. It has fun characters, very stylish animations and a solid underlying aesthetic. A little short, with only 12 stages (Intro, eight bosses, three "Wily Fortress" levels) but clearly intended for repeat playthroughs, experimenting with the different chips and Burst Skills.
The Messenger/Sea of Stars: The Messenger starts out as a Ninja Gaiden styled, 8-bit platformer with a sense of humor and worldbuilding. Then, midway through, you get a plot twist that turns everything on its head and completely re-structures the game, while still building on the skills you developed on the way. Sea of Stars is a RPG with gorgeous pixel art and music, that takes heavy inspiration from Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG, with things like Action Commands and combo attacks. Just like The Messenger, it's got very solid world-building and humor. Mainly because they're set in the same universe, set eons apart. And playing one after the other will have you recognize places, characters, and musical cues in really satisfying ways.
I checked a video because I am looking for a good Chrono Trigger-like game.
Graphics-wise and gameplay, it feels on the spot. The scenery is very pretty. Great color palette ( why so many games go for pastel-everything?). The caracters could have looked better.
I'll try it later.
