Indies at GDC 2019

If we learned anything from the Games Developers Conference in 2019 it's that the indie games boom shows no sign of slowing down. And, as ever, they are best played on PC, so it's up to us to share with you the cream of the crop, be it PvE battle royale games, or strategy games in which not-at-all-historically-inaccurate soldiers fling themselves at woolly mammoths and mages.
As thousands of developers descended on San Francisco's Moscone Center to learn from their colleagues, see the future of gaming with Google Stadia, or witness the reveal of the first moments of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 gameplay, we scurried around the cavernous convention to discover the finest independent experiences that will be coming to a monitor near you soon.
The following games are just a drop in the ocean when it comes to the veritable avalanche we tried out at GDC 2019, so don't miss out on our thoughts on Double Fine's roguelike action-RPG, Rad, Inside-like platformer, Stela, and Boyfriend Dungeon, a dating sim with a rather peculiar twist. But, for now, let's get back to it: here are our favourite indie games we had the pleasure to play at GDC 2019.
