Top 10 Games Made by Just One Person

Axiom Verge

Axiom Verge is the brainchild of indie developer Tom Happ which offers up an authentic retro Metroidvania experience. The game puts players into the shoes of a scientist trapped in a parallel world and tasks them with escaping. It is a clear throwback to the Metroid series, one which has been lovingly crafted by its sole developer Tom Happ. All of the classic elements you would expect are here, including a gradually revealed map, backtracking and platforming.

The stars of the game are the hulking Rusalki which inhabit the nightmarish world. Secrets play a big part in the game’s design too, which will no doubt tug on the nostalgia of many gamers. The pixel art is gorgeous, the weapons diverse and the story compelling. The whole thing oozes admiration for the games it is inspired by and manages to end up being just as good as any of them.
