Small Devs. Big games

Games are a very trending topic to exploit, I will first stark speaking about one that was released this year, "Hollow Knight", a game developed by Team Cherry a small Indie games company, that proved that games doesn't have come from a AAA company to be masterpieces.

It's a 2D game platform that follows the story of an character that we know nothing about, as a matter of fact you begin knowing nothing of the game, just that you have to go onward you found yourself, as you pass through you learn about the story of the underground Bug's Kingdom. The whom is now in the ruins, the game adds new and necessary mechanics that you need to master in order to continue exploring trough the kingdom and discover the truth that lies begin the fall of the kingdom and the now reanimated inhabitants. And aspect that I liked about the games was how it challenged you to try other ways to achieve your goal trough a customization fighting mechanic, along with a grim and mysterious ambient that goes well with the graphics chosen for the game.

Another game that I would like to talk about is "Stardew Valley" a game made by a single game developer Eric Barone(ConcernedApe), and published by Chucklefish, being an Indie game as well as Hollow Knight, it greatly difference itself by being a Casual farming sim game and a social sim. The game is very calming and can be very addictive, it doesn't have complicated mechanics, it's a simple looking game with simple mechanics. It certainly reached it goal to became a great and popular successor to the Harvest Moon series.
