[quote=@Chrononaut] Do you know what kind of person hates things because they're popular?

With Indie games I actually err on the side of caution when a game is hyped, probably similarly to how the OP does. The Indie community can sometimes get some odd ideas about what makes something good, just as the AAA industry can get dumb ideas about how if you throw more money at a game it'll magically get better. Undertale worked out, but let's talk about Starbound. Remember how MEGA HYPED a lot of the Indie crowd was with Starbound? How long did it take for Starbound to actually get to a point where it had some content? And then to the point where the content was properly balanced and wasn't a chore to level through? And is it yet what I'd call a good game? (The answer to the last one is "No.") Now, the Indie industry has [i]also[/i] produced some games that I will cherish forever. This War of Mine is one of them. Thea: The Awakening, Battle Brothers, Never Alone... Love 'em. I find Barony oddly replayable, I poured tons of hours into Terraria, and Chroma Squad is a fun little distraction. But the Indie industry also produces some games that I'd call utter crap, and people are willing to forgive the games that are utter crap because they're Indie. It's boggling. Undertale turned out to be a really fun, really thought-provoking game, but if the OP is cautious about a hyped Indie game, I'd say that caution is wise.
