The Good and The Great Games of the Triple-i Initiative Showcase

I love indie games and it seems like the triple-i initiative made an entire stream just for me. From start to finish, there was one amazing game after another, and down below, I’ve listed 13 games from the stream that I can’t wait for. The triple-i initiative showed off a lot more than 13 games, though. If you’re interested in seeing everything shown off, the video at the top of the article has the entire stream, plus more for you to check out. With that said, here are 13 upcoming games I think everyone should have on their radar.

Side Note: All of the descriptions of the games are from the triple-i initiative YouTube page. I just wanted to make sure I give them a shoutout as I use their hard work to help all of us understand what these great-looking games are.
