Hmmm...
Been playing a little bit of Half-Life 2, recently, but I'm not taking the game seriously at all. With using casual parkouring profficiency in valve's engines to bully "innocent" cops, before bhopping away with 130 KMh...
A game I have really been looking forward to, is subnautica. Soo far, that very game is my favourite example of an "indie gone right"!
It's a single player survival game, where you play as the soul survivor of a research spaceship that mysteriously crashed on an alien ocean planet.

But then you find out that there's a little more going on, on the planet, and such...
It's a really beautifull game!
Not "scary" alien, but "just alien enough to make it a little more beautifull!"
I can't really play it at the moment, though... Because it seems that 6 year old graphics cards don't fare too well with still-in-production games...
