It includes working with a fettered budget and relying on digital distribution. Having to work with limited resources not only allows for higher individual involvement but also results in higher creativity. Developers face no restrictions with respect to experimentation and innovation. Many substitute high-end graphics with an enthralling gameplay. Below is a list of the best indie games ever created.  
  1. Minecraft: Minecraft is a sandbox-type indie game. It was released and developed by Mojang. It is a 3D game that does not have any specific tasks or objectives to be completed, but achievements are still present.

Minecraft is situated in the number two spot for best-selling video games today.2 Image credits – Pixabay
