Hello, i was wondering if there are any good indie games on steam to try out. Can be free or paid, i don’t mind if there’s no native linux build either (i play stuff with wine/proton anyways lol) and i don’t mind the genre. I’ve been thinking of trying something new as of recent so i thought i might ask it here.

Thanks!

    A bunch i really liked were:

    • Hades (and Hades 2) (action roguelike)
    • Dead Cells (side scroller roguelike)
    • Celeste (Precision Platformer)
    • HexCells (puzzle game)
    • Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun (Stealth Strategy, the other games by the same dev are great too)
    • Prey (well, maybe its not an indie, but its great)
    • Vampire Survivors (Bullet Heaven, great to zone out too, lots of things to collect)
    • BugSnax (Not sure if Indie, but a lot more fun than it looks)
    • Cave Story (Side Scroller)
    • Creeper World 4 (Strategy game, I think 4 is the most recent. No need to play older ones unless you want more of the same)
    • Earth Defence force 6 (janky, but fun multiplayer with friends)
    • Heros Hour (strategy)
    • Oxygen Not Included (colony builder)
    • Rim World (colony builder)
    • Satisfactory (Automation game)
    • Pit People (strategy game)
    • Supraland (puzzle game, sequel is fun too)
    • The Talos Principle (Puzzle game, I think its indie?)
    • Undertale (RPG, its fantastic)
    • You must build a boat (Match 3)

      Outer Wilds is an absolute masterpiece, easily in my top 10 (perhaps even top 5) games of all time. The DLC is amazing too. The rest of the games you mentioned are also good.

        I def plan on playing everything in that list. I have an entire backlog lol. I bought the lot of them when they were on sale. It’s only a matter of getting to them.

        Of my list, I shill Katana Zero and ZeroRanger the most. They’re short but sweet. I went into them completely blind after having listened to part of their OSTs. If you have the chance, do try them. :)

        Crosscode mentioned!

        Words really cannot express how excellent it is. Whoever is considering it, just go for it!

      Clearly they were asking for recommendations, so not really a stupid question. I thought your comment was funny until the end, where now it just comes off as incorrectly pedantic.

    I really enjoyed I was a Teenage Exocolonist, its a narrative game where you grow up in a colony being established on a distant planet. It has skill training mechanics where you can develop skills to pass skill checks and has card based gameplay for determining the outcome of some events.

    Ena: Dream BBQ is another game I really enjoyed it has a really unique art style and has some great humour. It’s definitely really fun to go in to this one blind

    My Summer Car is an incredibly well-designed game.
    The problem is that it’s designed incredibly well to simulate rural life in Finland during an economic depression, and punish the player at every step.
    The dev is open about it. The first sentence of the release trailer is “This is not a fun game”.
