Yes! IndieDB has finally dropped their 2016 Indie of the Year top 10 list, and I (Robin Ek, TGG) can´t say that I´m all that surprised to see which titles ended up on IndieDB´s top 10 list. Nevertheless, I´m very pleased with this year´s edition of 2016 Indie of the Year awards.

“4 million profile visits, 94,489 votes tallied.
Presenting the 2016 Indie of the Year

December 29th, 2016 – Once again another fun and exciting Indie of the Year campaign has come to an end. After a stunning 94,489 votes the players have spoken and crowned the 2016 Indie of the Year.

This year we saw 1st place get taken out by the very popular RimWorld, followed by SUPERHOT and Stardew Valley coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Without much further adieu, presenting the top 10:

10. INSIDE
9. Enter the Gungeon
8. Slime Rancher
7. Factorio
6. Firewatch
5. The Isle
4. Empyrion – Galactic Survival
3. Stardew Valley
2. SUPERHOT
1. RimWorld

Congratulations to the victors and a huge thanks to the developers and supporters of the awards who recognize the work that goes into making an amazing indie game. Read the full results, editors choice and best upcoming winners.” – IndieDB

That´s just the half of it though, because IndieDB also presented their “Players Choice Best Upcoming Indie 2016” and “Players Choice Indie of the Year 2016” list. So, are you guys and girls happy with this year’s edition of Indie of the Year awards? Furthermore, which games did you vote for? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section down below!
