Hey! I assume you are new in this thread series and want to see what we were up to? Or you didnt have enough time to play through all of the games from the last month but still want to catch up with the best ones? Then this list is for YOU! 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):

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.

Hey! I assume you are new in this thread series and want to see what we were up to? Or you didnt have enough time to play through all of the games from the last month but still want to catch up with the best ones? Then this list is for YOU! 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. Environmental Station Alpha - Free demo (PC)
http://www.hempuli.com/esa/
Really solid metroidvania. The demo leaves players wanting for more. Diverse areas, precision-heavy platforming and shooting, the usual upgrades to find through exploration. The pixel art is colorful and it's just a fun very well-made game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. hets - Free (PC)
http://ditto.itch.io/hets
A really addictive and stylish roguelite action shooter. Progress through rooms filled with increasing amount of deadly enemies, as you jump, dodge, and kill everything to open the gate to the next level. The shooting feels really forceful and satisfying, and I liked the varied power-ups that granted you a bullet shield, personal turret, multi-shot, and more. It has a Broforce + Risk of Rain vibe, with a cool abstract art style and atmosphere.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Return of the Obra Dinn - Free demo (PC, Mac)
http://dukope.itch.io/return-of-the-obra-dinn
Sensational concept. It's clearly very early on, but it looks fantastic and has a really unique hook to it. Neat touch that it's not an "action" game but has very serious moments of drama in it. Definitely one to keep an eye on, and definitely worth checking right now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Here and There along the Echo - Free (PC, Mac, Linux)
http://kentuckyroutezero.com/here-and-there-along-the-echo/
That is the most interesting telephone interactive fiction narrative you are going to experience ever and damn funny. Kentucky Route Zero creators are weird in the best way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. Tribal & Error - Free demo (PC)
http://www.tribalanderror.com/demo
A very unique game, in which you are tasked to translate caveman language, and use the words you learned to instruct those cavemens to do something.It is conceptually a game about words and communication and has no language barrier at all, since everyone playing translates into his own language. Quite elegant. Its only a short alpha, but it works surprisingly well and its definitely something to be on the lookout for in the future. Highly recommended to check out the alpha.
