WAIT! Before you ask me about whether you should play that game you have in mind or have been told about or not...

Forget about that and play Furi instead. It's got finely tuned boss fights, it's got simple to learn, hard to master systems, and it's got music I can only describe as Evil Synthwave.
Some indie game recommendations from ones I’ve played or know enough about them to suggest them to others(mostly in no particular order), Part 4, since Tumblr stopped letting me add more for some reason:
Playing Furi again, and I can proudly say I lost all the skills I used to have. I was so good, but, now, I am nothing. My kingdom was destroyed by time. New speedrunners have overshadowed me. This is tragic.
So, anyway. Take those abominable vent drawings of The Voice as stock photos of sad looking guys.
I'd like to put it out there that I have So Many opinions about soundtracks.
Movies, video games - the whole shebang.
Music is really just such an amazing art form, decorating time with the vibrancy of sounds, instruments, melodies
PLEASE feel free to ask me about music I enjoy because there is A Lot of it
Game soundtracks that slap (I'm sure you know most of these, but eh what do I care):
Hollow Knight (obviously, Christopher Larkin knows his shit)
Risk of Rain 1&2
Hades (Darren Korb is a madman)
Doom (again, another clear choice)
Octopath Traveller
Death's Door and Moonlighter (David Fenn has a niche and it's lit)
Furi
I have many others I'd like to mention, but I will be talking about these and more in time to come as I think of things to say other than "Good Shit!"
