Last month we announced the Indie Selects program, where the ID@Xbox team will highlight current indie favorites with our weekly Featured Indies, along with great older titles presented in rotating themes.
The highlight of the program is our monthly “Indie Selects,” where we select six games from the featured indies of the month as the team’s favorites for the month. We don’t like to say “best” because there will undoubtedly be some great games that don’t end up being chosen, but these are the ones that the entire team has voted on and come out on top. With Indie Selects, we want to shine a spotlight on games you might not otherwise see – giving you an incredible selection of new, revolutionary or just plain weird games to play every month.
The criteria is relatively simple: we look at games we consider to be indies that have recently been released on Xbox, and the entire team votes. The top six vote winners are our Indie Selects for the month. (Note that we are not including Game Pass games in this program because they receive a lot of attention through the Game Pass channels.)
With that explained, I’m incredibly excited to announce February’s Indie Selects, which include everything from a feisty little alligator to an incredibly deep puzzle game to a wizard whose chosen weapon is a gun. These are all games that the team is confident you will love. Here they are, in our own words (and in no particular order):
