Well, it’s been a great year for indie games, and making a choice of your top ones in any capacity is going to prove to be very hard. Somehow, I managed to sweat over this huge and excellent choice for long enough that I actually decided on which indie games would make it into my top 10 of the year that was 2012.

It’s worth noting before anyone gets all stressed out about these things, as they often do, that these are MY top 10 indie games of 2012. No one else, not even anyone on the Indie Statik staff, have had an influence on this list. Now that’s out of the way, and please do bear it in mind, here is my top 10 indie games of this year!
