Was just thinking of this old pc action side scroller Hunter Hunted and was curious if anybody had some recommendations for anything similar from the indie scene. This game has a really cool art style too. Not sure how obscure it was at the time.

Never heard of it before, aside from the artstyle it remember me of that old Blizzard game that I totally forget the name. The only indie game that comes to my mind right now is Shadow Complex(?), though it remained exclusive to X360 if I'm not mistaken.

What's the gameplay like besides 2D side-scroller? Action heavy? Puzzles? What's the setting/tone?

Shadow Complex does seem like it'd be a good fit, unfortunately I don't have a 360 anymore.
Not really any puzzles, combination of run and gun with throwable explosives, some light stealth/evasion via wall hugging. One campaign is the human (hunted) the other as a beast which is more focused on melee attacks. I'd say human campaign is what I'd want more though what with the focus on guns, explosives. The sense of speed is important too. The more I think about it Shank would fit the bill, but missing the speed of Hunter Hunted.

Hmmm, while the art style and tone look nothing alike, maybe something like Broforce?
Side-scrolling frenetic, fast-as-hell running-and-gunning, with enough explosives to out-Bay Michael Bay and a slight stealth element through flanking and melee

Hunter Hunted looks amazing. I'd be down to play something like that.
It's not exactly like HH, but give Not A Hero a look. It's a fast-paced action game where you have an large number of weapons, characters, and explosives. It also features a cover system that you can slide in and out of at any moment.

I beat Stealth Inc 2 today. I thought its predecessor was good, but this is a much better game. As it should be really, considering it's the second entry in the series.
I enjoyed the puzzles much more in this game than in the original, and that's mainly due to the gadgets you get throughout it which help a lot in terms of variety. In the first game, at some point I ended up only playing it in little bite sized pieces. Things got worn out a bit quicker there. Stealth Inc 1 did throw in different types of obstacles at you as you progressed, but the gadgets that you get throughout the second game I felt changed up the dynamics of what you're doing and how you're thinking about solving the puzzles much more than the first game did. Because of that, I ended up playing this game in much larger chunks and was generally engaged most of the way through. I say "most" mainly because the beginning I thought started off a bit slow, but it definitely picks up.
The metroidvania-esque overworld progression is brilliant. This is definitely the main thing that separates the two games from each other. In the first game, you chose your levels from a level select screen, and that was really it. In this game, there's a whole map to walk around in with the individual test chambers spread about. Basically, it's one big level that hosts a bunch of smaller levels. Each section of test chambers is focused on one gadget. In each section, you go through 7 regular levels, and then a boss. You don't get to take a gadget outside into the overworld until you've completed all of the levels within that particular segment, which I really enjoyed and also found kind of remarkable for a couple reasons. One being because I just like the idea of you having to "master" a particular gadget before you are allowed to carry it with you outside. The second reason is that after you've cleared multiple sections, you'll have multiple gadgets to carry with you only in the overworld. So then it gets to a point where you have to use multiple gadgets to get through parts in the overworld while whatever particular section of test chambers you're on only focuses on one of them. Oh, and if you haven't figured by now, the overworld has it's fair share of puzzles and platforming challenges to clear as you make your way to the other test chambers. While there are parts where you do have to use multiple gadgets to get through sections of the hub, I don't think this aspect of it was as fleshed out as it could have been. The overworld puzzles are generally easier than what you find in the test chambers, but that's a good thing since it gives you moments of relaxation in between the more demanding parts of the game. Still, there was a missed opportunity for more multi-gadget puzzles. I didn't go for many of the optional collectible costume parts that were spread around, though the ones I did get had more challenging puzzles, (at least in comparison to the mandatory sections around it) so that's probably worth mentioning.
I found Stealth Inc 2 to be overall easier than the first game, which was good for me at least. Actually, I ended up giving up on the original because I got stuck somewhere in the last set of levels. I generally suck at puzzle games, so take from that what you will.
There was a much more involved story in this game than in the first. (Not like that it's hard to top) It did a good job of making you feel bad for the clones and made you want to free as many as you could. The end is anti-climatic though. I guess I expected there to be a bit more to it, but there wasn't.
The soundtrack was cool and added a distinctive vibe to the game. I wouldn't say it's amazing, but it's worth putting on earphones for.
So overall, the game was pretty good.

Played some Duskers and it's really cool and very promising.
The two games I was reminded of while playing were Capsule and Deadnaut. The former due to relying on a glitchy sensor screen to explore vessels, the latter due to the concept of exploring derelict ships from a detached distant location.
Duskers drops you into a ship low on supplies in an massive randomly-generated galaxy and you need to jump from abandoned barge to empty capital ship, exploring and gathering much-needed resources
To do that, you control a group of drones. Each drone has three equipment slots, and you can add numerous functions and abilities like a motion sensor or acting as a mobile generator.
You'll need those two. Ships can be huge and you never know what dangers lurk onboard. Perhaps alien entities or an active security system. To succeed, you need to cautiously scan rooms, choose which doors to open, block off dangers.
But the interesting and immersive aspect is that you don't control the drones directly, but by typing in commands. "Navigate 1 r3;gather all" will move drone 1 to the selected room 3 and gather all supplies there. It adds a tactile hands-on feel to the action and makes it even more crucial to plan and think ahead. Because you don't have much time to react if things go wrong.
Some other cool things:
- Locking an alien in a room then interfacing with the ship and activating the on-board defense system. Alien dead.
- Switching between the sterile tactical ship map to the grainy sensor view. The visuals and sound design really add to the atmosphere
- Chaining together a bunch of commands and watching your drones move and act autonomously. The control scheme has a satisfyingly lo-fi sci-fi vibe.

So this is from the guys who made Deadnaught and Zafehouse Diaries as well, here's a few more screens:

- Take control of a modified freight train and guide up to 150 passengers through a nightmare fog
- Send passengers out into the fog to investigate locations, find survivors and bring back supplies
- Manage defenses, power and resources. But be careful: if you aren't the saviour they need, they'll revolt against you
- Monitor your passengers' dream logs to discover what kind of horrors will attack the train - and how to defeat them

Cobalt - $11.19 (PC/XB1/XB 360)
Cobalt takes the stylish, slow mo, gymnastic gunplay of a Hong Kong action flick and marries it with the madcap sensibilities of a Looney Tunes cartoon. It's currently in Alpha, with a full release scheduled for October. The 2D multiplayer arena game is turning into one of my favorite sub genres.
http://playcobalt.com/
"Cobalt is the brainchild of Oxeye Game Studio, which consists of Jens Bergensten, Daniel Brynolf, and Pontus Hammerberg.
Throughout its long development process it's become become dense with features but the main thing to learn is that you play as a cute cyborg with a passion for 2d multiplayer battles involving extreme slow-mo and combat rolls."

Thanks for the impressions. I could see myself getting into this, but I might wait until it's a bit more polished.
Nice review. I recently went back and completed my Stealth Bastard playthrough (I left off during the 2nd or 3rd world/level), and I ended up loving it. I was shocked by how much more I enjoyed the later stages. Stealth Inc 2 is definitely on my radar. I'll be snatching it up when it hits $5 or less, for sure. Shame about the PC launch.

Ops, stupid phone.
They werent before? Tell me more, curious about the progression/variety.
Progression is deliberately very slow - water them daily, sing to the snail, get plants weekly (or buy a couple with money)
We've announced that Shutshimi has a release date of Weds. August 25 via the Playstation Blog. PS4, Vita and Steam will be coming out at the same time, and the Wii U release will follow at some point after.
Link (with trailer made by JamesID): http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/08/20/shutshimi-coming-to-ps4-ps-vita-august-25th/
We're pretty excited to finally be bringing this expanded version of the game out. Anyone interested in maybe helping me get an OT for it up closer to release day? We could even have a small giveaway with PSN codes.

Interesting, did some research
1) FIG is a new crowdfunding platform started by the most successfully Kickstarted devs to support others games (Brian Fargo, Tim Schafer, Indie Fund, etc.)
2) It's going to be highly curated. Outer Wilds is the first campaign
3) Investors can back as well, and get a share of the revenue
Good stuff man - I only briefly saw it and was a little suspicious. Backed.

This is the first Geometry Wars game I've come in contact with. I didn't know much about the series at all before I picked this up off of PS+. I remember some of my friends back in the 360 days talking about it a lot and I always thought it was some kind of math puzzle game or something.
As one who isn't generally drawn to ship shooter games, or isn't exactly an avid player of dual stick shooters in general, I found this to be really simple and easy to get into. The controls felt slick and responsive, the movement was fluid, the visuals were bright, vibrant, and exciting. There wasn't a period of "getting into the game" really, I was having fun with it right off the bat.
The game has a lot more variety than what I had initially expected. At first, I thought the spice would only come in forms of variations in the geometric stage layouts and numerous enemy types, but it's often throwing completely different gameplay styles at you that would give you a different goal aside from just "shooting these enemies without dying." I suppose it mostly dials down to that, but there was definitely enough variation to keep me satisfied and even surprised at multiple points throughout the game. One of my favorite levels took away the shooting aspect completely, and instead had you focused on flying through gates that would then explode and take out whatever enemies were around you, while rewarding you with the deserved points of course.
The game gets very hectic. If you want to mindlessly play through it, you should have fun. Well, you can't be too mindless. You definitely have to be attentive and alert. It's not an easy game, but I also rarely got stuck. Mastering levels takes a good deal of deliberation and finesse. Settling for one star was a bit too straightforward for most of them, but going for the maximum of 3 stars was usually too demanding for my tastes. Aiming for 2 stars was the sweet spot for me. There are bosses in the game, but they tend to be the easiest levels to pass with 3 stars in my experience. That last boss though was ridiculous and is a huge difficulty spike in comparison to the rest of the game. I was struggling to beat it for a while, but then I watched it being done on YouTube and realized that i'm good with not being able to complete it and moved on, lol.
There are also drones you can buy and upgrade that do different things to help you out in combat. There are two different types. One has a finite amount of usage per level, and the other is indefinite. There are a few different models that you unlock throughout the game, and those can help alter/define your general strategy/playstyle. If you find that one combination isn't working out well for you in a certain level, switching up your drones can help. Though, I often found myself sticking with the same setup and only felt the need to change it up a few times.
The style and look of this game is pretty on point, (as I hope you can tell by looking at screenshots) and it really comes together great in motion. Its soundtrack meshes well with the game's aesthetic. The fast paced electronic music helps you get in the zone and keeps you focused so you can output the best performance possible, and even if I don't think the music is generally that great (there are like 2 stand outs but most of them are just "okay" imo) it's still worth putting on earphones for that reason alone.
I only played through Adventure Mode. There were a few other modes that I didn't get to try, so I don't have anything to say on those, but yeah, the game is quite engaging and enjoyable.

And Duskers continues to be awesome. I can't wait to see where the devs take the game. There's something so satisfying about controlling the game through command lines. You never have to use the mouse, so it's really immersive.
I really regret not getting it before the devs reached out, I had been on the fence, but now I see it's something I would have bought so fast if I had known more about the gameplay. I'm actually considering getting a gift copy through Humble to support the devs

Robot Space Labs is a space exploration and asteroid mining game that is entirely centered around peaceful research with autonomous robots. Rather than controlling the robots directly, theyre fully autonomous and you manage them by planning the construction of new factories, excavate minerals, and research and upgrade technology in laboratories. Different missions, materials and environmental hazards such as radioactivity, solar winds and meteor collisions add challenge and diversity to the game.
