This thread is a love letter, celebrating games, creativity, imagination, developers and fans. This thread wouldnt have been possible without 12 months of preparation and dedication. Over the past year, a few people got together in the monthly Indie threads to share their passion about this hobby, played countless games, voted on them monthly, discussed the positives and negatives of these games and ultimately recommended the ones they fell in love with to others. This group of people together played over 600 games that got mostly ignored by the mass media, found great games where they didnt expect it and also enjoyed the heavy hitters of the Indie scene.

After 2013 ended, we decided to come together and hold a community voting, the end result you can see now in this thread. These 50 games were the games that ranked the highest in that voting, but ordered alphabetically. The reason for that is that we wanted to avoid giving this thread a focus on "WHY IS X GAME ABOVE Y" and instead focusses purely on the games. If there are games on this list you didnt know yet, we encourage you to look into them. Not every game will be a 100% fit for everyone, especially because Indie Games can be very diverse in their approach, style, gameplay and overall goal (if there even is one), but we hope that a few people out there will see this thread, check out a game they havent heard about it before, and love it as much as we did.
