Great games like "Bastion" and "Salt and Sanctuary" were written in #XNA which would later become #mongame but are there any other great indie titles that were written using XNA/Monogame I should check out?

I know the Xbox Live Arcade era used XNA at the time, but I never owned an Xbox and don't know about those titles.

If anyone has any suggestions on Monogame/XNA titles of yesteryear please let me know.

@heroicthehobbyist I'm pretty sure Celeste was written using XNA, and is at least a serious contender for greatest indie game. :)

@lertsenem - Right on! Thank you, I'm not sure why but I had thought that Celeste was a python game for some reason. Wonderful thanks again!

@heroicthehobbyist axiom verge, celeste, magicka, rogue legacy, stardew valley, terraria, midboss, transistor, kitsune tails are the ones outside of what you talked about that I know of.

@raptor85 - Thank you for those titles. I'll give them a lot. I have heard about Stardew Valley being a solo project, but didn't know it was an XNA/Mongame project. Thanks!

@heroicthehobbyist Bleed 2 and They Bleed Pixels are both great.

@midnightspire - I’ll give those a look as well. I have the They Bleed Pixel Soundtrack through Bandcamp strangely enough.
