With the Steam sale running, this seems like a good time to try this thread again. We don’t often use the downvote button much in Lemmy, but the idea is this: Do your best to present game suggestions that no one has heard of before. If, in reading other people’s suggestions, you spot one that you’re familiar with, then put a downvote on it. Ideally, if the game is past a year old, it may have a discounted price during the Steam sale, and others will be able to check it out.
I’ve made this thread once before and it generated some good suggestions, but the rate of indie publishing on Steam has only accelerated with time, so it seems to be worth trying again.
Let’s see how many people know about Bloodthief.
Insanely unique concept. You gather blood and use it to fuel hyper fast parkour movement and combat. Everything is a one hit kill, everything is insanely slick. It feels really good to play, and I don’t even normally like this style of game.
It’s made in Godot and runs at 120 FPS on potato computers from a decade ago. It’s the first game I played that was a movement game (never heard of the genre before this) and it’s designed to flow, where if you get really good at it it starts feeling like a rhythm game.
If you like that kind of game, also check out SEUM and Neon White.
