Sony have announced that Don’t Starve, Mercenary Kings, Octodad, Secret Ponchos, Ray’s Dead, Outlast, Oddworld ‘new and tasty’ and Galak-Z will all be exclusive, or make their console debut, on Playstation 4.

Don’t Starve is a top down roguelike in which players try to last as long as possible.

Mercenary Kings is a gorgeous, sprite based run and gun shooter with clear shades of Contra/Metal Slug.

Octodad is a console versions of PC life sim in which you control an Octopus masquerading as a human for hilarious results.

Secret Ponchos is a great looking top down shooter.

Ray’s Dead is an interesting Pikmin-like ‘mass army’ game in which you recruit ally zombies from the grave to help you discover how your character met his untimely demise.

Outlast is a ‘fill-your-pants’ Amnesia alike with a found-footage, cam corder like mechanic.

Oddworld New and Tasty is a complete remake of the original Oddworld adventure.

Finally, Galak-Z is an open-world space shooter.

Eight solid looking indie titles to add to the likes of The Witness from Sony’s conference earlier in the year.

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
