Thatgamecompany has put out a few hits over the years, but perhaps their most celebrated is 2012's Journey. A single player puzzle platformer with an esoteric multiplayer hook: you are randomly partnered with someone online and you cannot speak to them. It makes for a magical experience, despite it's short length. So as we race for these last games to try and top the list, how will yet another INDIE DARLING stack up?
