This was strangely delightful to make. I have social anxiety so seeing myself while editing is scary sometimes, but also my editing skills have slightly leveled up since the first review/highlight videos I posted here!
What were your favorite indie games in 2022? And what would you like me to play in 2023 👀

Thanks for doing this! I definitely let some of these games slip away from my mind through the year or missed them at the time, and it's great to have the reminder. And the editing! The time spent shows.
I still gotta check out Citizen Sleeper! This video was great!
I really enjoyed this, thank you!
Great vid, Valk! Really love how conversational it is and the editing is great! Thank you for making it! <3
Ohh good list! Mr Cat said "HELL YES!" to Vampire Survivors. I still want to play NORCO and Beacon Pines.
Not gonna lie a lot of my wishlist comes from games Val plays and/or recommends, so I love this video! Really nicely edited and well written. Thanks for a handy list of games to add to my ever growing backlog! 🥰
"I'm not exactly sure how to describe NORCO" – lololol relatable
PS a couple of games on this list I hadn't heard of but look really good – thanks!
You're not wrong about Happy Tree Friends! Loved Cult of the Lamb & Beacon Pines. Currently working on Citizen Sleeper & I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. Might add a few more to my list now!
