Life's not cheap right now, especially as the school holidays roll on

It feels hard to justify splurging £50+ on a new game when there's more important things to be spending cash on.

But indie games offer a less guilty alternative. Often much cheaper than the big releases, indie games are just as good - if not better - than some of the titles from the bigger studios.
