So I’ve devoted some time to do some browsing during this sale and I can say I’d never truly realized just how many awesome-looking indie games are out there. I’ve just been clicking Next (adding to my wishlist here and there) through dozens and dozens of games that look fantastic, but that were up to now completely unknown to me. It’s truly an embarrassment of riches.
The numbers are crazy. Add on top the heaps of cheap games that got on Steam under the GL program, the bundle fodder and the shovelware intended to cater solely to card/achievement hunters and I can see just how difficult it must be for any individual needle to make itself stand out among the huge pile of hay.
