What is the most "Indie Feeling" game that is definitely NOT from an Indie Studio? (lemmy.ca)

After the "Dave the Diver" nomination for Best indie Game at the Game Awards, I've been struggling to draw a clear line here.

I feel like, yes, Dave the Diver feels very Indie to "me" but it's hard to say that of the studio itself.

Is the "Indie feel" something bigger studios might look to imitate in the future?

I might get behind something like that.

An EA published game series for the first 2 entries, but Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1 and 2. Still on entry 1, so I'd like to avoid spoilers, but they definitely feel indie compared to every single triple AAA game that's come out in the past well over a decade due to the passion you can tell had to be out in for the game to have sold well.

Also learned the 4th game wasn't even available on PS2 because of its' 2015 launch, so if I ever get around to finishing the first 3, I gotta get it on PC because there ain't no way I'm buying a copy for switch.

Edit:

Saw a trailer for the 4th game on Krome Studio's website and I'm probably gonna skip it because it looked too much like a mobile game for my tastes.
