I know of a lot of indie games that are actually really good, and I’m hoping to find some others. Here’s my list:

  • BPM: Bullets Per Minute
  • Hedon
  • Ion Maiden
  • Prodeus
  • Project Warlock
  • Tower 57
  • Wrath: Aeon Of Ruin If this list is incomplete, help by expanding it :)

    • APE OUT - You’re a gorilla that kills people before they kill you. Music, art style, and gameplay mix very well.
    • Crab Champions - You’re a crab with a gun facing waves of crabs and other stuff. Things get really insane with all the modifiers you pick up.
    • Iconoclasts - Beautiful art style from a single developer. Story hits on some heavy topics which may not be for everyone. My only complaint is he really needed a dedicated writer to clean up the story a bit.
    • Little Inferno - You burn stuff in a fireplace.
    • Party Hard - You’re just a dude that wants some sleep. So, you become a serial killer.

    Mutazione & Saltsea Chronicles are two favorites of mine, from the same developer, which don’t seem to get much attention.

    They’re both narrative focused games, with a lot of world building and character development.

    I enjoyed both of them greatly, and if you like chill story based games, I think you’d enjoy them!

      This would have been a correct answer 30 years ago, and it probably will be a correct answer in another 30 years.

    Easy red 2. Discovered it looking for steam deck verified games. Kind of the feel of call of duty 2 and battlefield 1942 mixed together. It’s cheap and goes on sale for really cheap. Has some weird systems in it but it’s fun to just zone out and play through the maps. There is a ton of maps.

    It’s a WW2 fps with vehicles and squads. You take over objectives on the map and either attack or defend. For whatever reason it has a full inventory system where you can loot any body. You can play different roles in the squad. As squad leader you can call in artillery if your radio Man is alive. You can also command your squad. The AI is alright, not the best but it works.
