Scaffold It has become one of the most respected names in independent games. All releases convey their unique atmosphere, art and rhythm, but they all share the same interest in the details. when bastion I debuted in 2011 and set up a tone for something beginning The game is the same as a strong atmosphere, a solid design and a reaction storytelling. transistor Searching for the theme of loss and memory has changed to a slow and strategic speed. Fire Fide from traditional battles, battles broke the battle with sports about freedom. Then came brightness, The Roguelike genre has been reconstructed by combining quick behavior and progress in progress. Hades II It builds the same foundation centering on dark tones and new myths.
This game ranking is not the best nomination for the best game. It also shows how studios and ideas have grown over time. Each title has been a bit more bound by testing new combat mode, system and storytelling. From the first release to the latest release, SUPERGIANT tried to show that storytelling and gameplay can grow together, as we can always see below.
bastion
We introduced the foundation for Supergiant's voice, visuals and bigger things.
bastion This is because it is a bad game, but this is because the coarse draft of Supergiant feels perfect later. This was their debut and map. The player controls the child when reconstructing the shattered world. Each land rises under the feet when he explores. The mechanic was excellent in 2011 and is still one of the most memorable features.
battle bastion Simple but satisfactory. The child can carry a close and ranged weapon and can exchange as the trip is unfolded. The enemies come into the waves, and the actions are fun, but there is a lack of depth and diversity of coming later. comparison brightness or transistorIt is simple and almost bare hands.
transistor
Turn -based science fiction where RED discovers Camerata plots
transistor It's fun, sophisticated and clever, but it's not as difficult as a high -ranking game on this list. This story follows Red, a singer who loses her voice and carries a transistor. The weapon speaks throughout the game and guides her where you need it. where transistor It really shines in the mood. The city is soaked in neon lights full of art-deco details. The soundtrack is perfect for the future environment by mixing unforgettable vocals with electronic bits.
The battle is based on a turn based on a complicated combo and then developed in a quick run. It is flexible and creative with the ability to apply to other roles for endless experiments. The only problem is that you can feel slightly slower and brain waves than other action -oriented initial titles.
Fire
Asylum team competes in consciousness and gains freedom.
Fire In the middle of the rankings, the land is attractive and divided. Instead of quick action, narrative selection and mysterious sports games are combined. The player controls the exile who competes in the consciousness, which is basically the goal of carrying the sphere of the other's fire to the other's fire. If you win, you can liberate the alliance from the asylum. Lost and someone stays behind.
The conscious sports itself is rare. There is no immediate appeal for swinging a knife or firing a bow, but mixing positioning, teamwork and quick decision making. Some players liked slower and strategic speeds, and other players popped out. That's why Fire It's not a higher ranking. Ambition is great, but it is more difficult to recommend.

Hades 2 It takes second place because it expands the formula while providing a new perspective to the player. This time, Zagreus' sister Melinoë focuses on fighting the Titan Titan, Chronos. Her style is more magical than her brother and leans on spells and magic instead of pure weapons mastery. The change alone makes the game different and maintains the foundation of the first one made.
This loop is familiar. Explore new areas, collect resources, push harder enemies, return home to develop stories. but Hades 2 Add more layers. There is a larger skill tree, a more complex craft system and an expanded environment. This additional feature provides long -term depth, but slowed down compared to the solid and concentrated design of the first game. It's still excellent but it's a bit less sharp.

brightness For justifiable reasons, we sit at the top of this ranking. In general, a genre was considered a rough and punitive one (Roguelikes), and it was fun for more audiences without eliminating the challenge of making the game interesting. Roguelikes is generally punished for failure, but dying here is part of experience. Whenever Zagreus falls into the battle, he returns home to find an upgrade leading to new conversations, character growth and next attempt. Instead of frustration, the player is curious.
This is one of the roguelikes with different classes and weapons, from fast fists and slow and heavy bows. And that's why the battle works so well. Add a godly benefit to change the way of action of each weapon, and two runs are not the same. One attempt may have a shield that reflects the projectile, and the other attempts can damage the sword attack of the ZAG over time. Diversity is exciting, and the flow of battle is not overwhelming and fast and good.
