By Chris Lawn| pressplaygaming.net@ I often think on why I do this. Write about games. This year has felt like an inflection point; we’ve had the most “highly rated” video game releases in a year maybe ever, while an estimated 9,000 developers, artists, community managers, level designers, QA testers and every other discipline in the industry have been laid off.

In what is now an annual tradition (doing something more than once makes it a tradition, right?) here’s a look at five of my favourite hidden indie game gems of 2023.
