The Gist - 5 Awesome Games Of 2013 You Probably Didn't Play

just for the people that thinks it's obvious, we Mexicans do not wear masks, sombreros or zarapes. we sometimes wear skeleton suits, but not when it's cold. there are no talking stone heads beyond the south and we are not full luchadores if we don't wear a 30 inch wide belt.

we don't listen to mariachi and don't travel in donkeys and horses also pay parking tickets. we don't live in cantinas. well, i do, but chickens stay outside. and we do not live from cerveza an tequila, we also eat tacos but taco bell's tacos are not actually tacos.

we don't eat everything with what you know as cheese, only cheese hamburgers at macdonalds (yes, there are some macdonald's here) but we do sprikle cheese all over the food. strawberries taste specially good with cheese. we don't eat nachos, but we eat burritos, i love chocolate burritos.

but something i don't like is guacamele being called mexican, because a stormtrooper is more mexican than guacamele.

as an extra, the music on feedbackula is not mexican either.

hell i wear boots instead of sandals, i must be less mexican than i think.

Thanks to PS+ I will get 2 of those titles for free!

I thought the title of the second game was "Engaging Story" because I missed "Swapper."

gonna grab dont starve on PS Plus tomorrow

I played those games before most of people heard about them

I have and thoroughly enjoyed both Guacamelee! and Puppeteer, and luckily Brothers and Don't Starve are free this month for Playstation Plus. Been trying to get The Swapper since it came out, but I keep missing it being on sale. My vote for underlooked game of last year would definitely be Rogue Legacy.

reminds me of eddie from maiden.

I initially liked the looks of Puppeteer and it's awesome character models and animation, but something just put me off it. I dunno, maybe I should look into it.

I haven't heard of The Swapper, but I'd very much like to play it now.

Great shirt Jess. I plan on playing brothers when it goes for free on ps plus, played guacamelee, waiting for don't starve to come to the vita, should have picked up swapper off steam sales but somehow missed it, and bought the puppeteer off a ps plus sale, but haven't got around to playing it yet. I like your choice in indies, keep up the great work.

played Guacamelee! on the vita & loved it alot.

nice choices

I ended up playing Brothers over the holidays, loved it. Gameplay was a bit simplistic but I found myself wanting to see what was gonna happen with the two lads. And that suicide scene..haunting.

I find these bite size arcade / indie titles offer some of the most memorable experiences. I actually bought Swapper during the Steam sale not even knowing what it is, looked interesting from the videos. I think I'll give it a try now sooner than later since Jess gives the thumbs up.

In truth, I am yet to play any of them even though I own all of them. I'll have to do something about that. But not until I play and finish Broken Age!

Awww. I bought "The Swapper" and "Don't Starve" after watching Indie Hour. The Swapper definitely one of my best games of last year.

This video sounded really interesting then it was just a list of overrated shit indie game I dont care about. Waste of 5 minutes.

from these 5 ive heard only of the 3,4 and 5 wich i played only Brothers wich i totally recommand

puppeteer better be on the list

For me The Bridge was the best game that most people probably didn't play.

while not awesome, blood of the werewolf didn't get much attention.

Puppeteer is a blatant rip off of dynamite heddy >.< Not that that's a bad thing. Since it was a great game, but saying it's a sidescroller like you've never seen before is a bit of a stretch :)

I picked up Guacamelee during the Steam winter sale. Before that I also got Don't Starve and The Swapper. I am very intrigued by Puppeteer. Hopefully that will go on sale sometime so I can pick it up.

Since it went on sale, I actually went back and gave Brothers a go despite not really seeing the appeal of it when I played the demo back in the summer.

While it definitely grew on me the more I got into it and the final moments in particular are brilliant, (the "act" you have to do was one of the most harrowing things I've ever experienced in a game) I personally still don't think it's as great as some have made it out to be recently. The controls, while certainly unique, were often a major source of frustration for me.

However if you love a good story, I'd still recommend it in a heartbeat.

Brothers and Guacamelee! are both fantastic games. Brothers is definitely one of my top games last year, really really loved that game, anyone that can play that game should. Haven't played the other 3 on that list, but hopefully will get the chance at some point :-)
