Xbox One's New Indie Games Look Amazing

The indie portion of Microsoft's E3 2015 presentation, hosted under their "ID@Xbox" brand, featured four new games that Microsoft will help developers bring to life. We have the trailers for all four games right here, with a common theme of exploration.

Tacoma

This game, from the makers of Gone Home, features exploration of Lunar Transfer Station One. Exploring the base, your goal is to discover what happened to the crew that used to be there, which the station's computer is claiming classified information.

Ashen

Set in a world with no sun, this action-RPG also features a sense of exploration, though the faceless explorers here are searching for a safe place to call home. You have to learn to trust other characters, and you're choosing who you do and don't), and allow them to guide you to your next location.

Beyond Eyes

This adventure game features a blind protagonist, who must rely on her other senses to explore the world around her. Described as a "modern fairy tale," the game also focuses on the common theme of friendship and relying on others.

Cuphead

This game seeks to take the look of 1930s cartoons and combine it with the run-and-gun play of an old-school platform shooter. That pretty much says it all, and the trailer is worth more than we could possibly tell you here.

Stay tuned for much more from E3 2015.
