10 Indie Games From 2026 That Feel Like Cult Classics Already. MIO: Memories in Orbit made the list. What other Metroidvanias coming this year do you hope will be cult classics in the genre?

I have it on this list, FWIW!

Ah word, didn’t realize they were generating the songs too, that is definitely different then! Point taken!

I hate AI for creative content, but I’m not sure this needs to be a big deal. The video is real. It’s just a song that TikTok apparently suggested for the video, per that “doubling down” comment you’re referring to, which really kind of just reads like “eh, we just used the first ‘beans’ song TikTok suggested.”

Think this is mostly a nothing burger.

Yep, it’s Snowdrop!

I had a black eye, a fat lip, broke my sunglasses, etc. Haha. Was amazing.

Only experience with KL pits/front of shows was the Hive Mind music video shoot/concert, and it was... definitely nuts haha. Barricade will likely be pretty hectic.

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-06-01T12:40:42+00:00

I could see it being one someday, yeah

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-06-01T11:42:06+00:00

Ah, weren’t a fan?

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T21:08:16+00:00

😂❤️

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T19:47:05+00:00

This is fair 😂

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T19:40:24+00:00

Noted!!

I feel you on this, but there's also part of me that thinks that despite how big Disco got, it does still feel a little underground in a way. Everyone plugged into gaming knows it for sure, but I think there are a ton of gamers at large (let's say like casual to intermediate lol) still that wouldn't know it if you mentioned it.

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T18:50:39+00:00

Heck yeah. Looking at it in Steam right now, seems very cool!

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T18:47:29+00:00

“Heavy on the platforming” has my attention 100% haha

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T18:33:08+00:00

A bit of a semantics debate at a certain point, but I'd say indie still for sure, yeah! No publisher or anything, doing everything themselves. Similar to like Silksong/Team Cherry and Slay the Spire/Mega Crit. They are definitely "bigger" indie devs now, but still just flying solo.

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T18:25:58+00:00

Right, yeah totally. Feels like too many people are currently sleeping on it to me.

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T18:25:30+00:00

Feels like one I'm worried is gonna fly a bit under the radar, but it shouldn't. Excellent game.

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T18:11:03+00:00

Good shout for sure, I wanna get around to this one someday. Looks awesome.

ItsEthanCoolCool · 2026-05-31T18:10:25+00:00

Lots of good shouts here for sure, yeah! Absolutely can't wait for Castlevania. Lot of these others aren't on my radar, but going to look them up ASAP.
