We talk about anything Indie, want to talk about the mess that DoubleFine is leaving behind? The depth(s) of Dwarf Fortress? Need recommendations? This is the right spot to ask! We'd also love to read more impressions

I noticed there are a few noteworthy, and relatively unknown, projects that deserve a shoutout here because I feel that they share a common interest with the people in this thread. I talked to the guy from Pixabyte and MetaVendetta and both are very enthusiastic about the things they love and figured you might appreciate the shoutout as well. If you enjoy anything here or want to give feedback, let these guys know via their websites or also here in this thread. If you appreciate something, let people know. A heads up can sometimes very valuable.
This is a monthly podcast series that presents notable Indie Game soundtracks. A likeable host and guests, a fantastic track selection, interesting discussions and a focus for Indies will make this one a mainstay in my monthly threads.

These were the games we enjoyed the most in the previous thread, voted on by the community (More thorough descriptions and impressions in the previous thread, especially the last few pages with the voting):
1. Drifting Lands - $18.99 (Steam)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/322750
Imagine a Diablo-like game with the mouse clicking part replaced by an horizontal shoot'em'up core gameplay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. Monolith - $7.99 (PC)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/603960
Monolith is a top down action shooter with procedurally generated elements. Explore a large, abandoned facility in search of incredible power, fighting dangerous foes and gaining new weapons and upgrades as you progress.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. Nex Machina - $19.99, £15.99, €19.99 (PS4, PC)
http://www.housemarque.com/games/nexmachina
Nex Machina is an intense arcade style twin-stick shooter from Housemarque. Taking hints from both Robotron and Smash TV, Nex Machina focuses on pure action, voxel destruction and competition in the distant, cablepunk themed future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. Antihero - $14.99 (PC)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/505640
Antihero is a turn-based strategy game where your run a thieves guild. Hire street urchins, thugs, gangs, assassins, and more. Use them to earn upgrades for your guild, steal, set traps, buy bribes, blackmail, and assassinate higher up citizens, all with the goal of earning enough VPs to win the map. Single player story and multi-player versus options.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. A-Train - €54.99 (PC)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/492090/ATrain_PC_Classic__APC/
An economy management game in the vein of Transport Tycoon. There is so much simulation stuff going on here, from different transportation modes, upgrades, different ages, stock market, owning companies, resource production/management/shipping, plenty customization options, employee happiness, dealing with antiquated euipment, trading and simulated goods values, buildings/very well done scenarios in the "campaign" (which is the reason why I like this game so much, as most sandbox sims dont have good scenarios) and a million different sale stats to keep track off.

GAF Thread: Freeware Games
So many free games are out there and so many are just really good games that a large majority of people will never play. From developers with large portfolios of freeware games, to free alphas and betas, to the hundreds and hundreds of entries for game jams such as Seven Day Roguelike, Seven Day FPS, Ludum Dare, and others, to the talented work of Digipen students, there's just an astounding amount of quality free games to play and enjoy that this thread tries to uncover.
