Okay. I'm keeping my commitment, but I'm going to need help.

Everytime Ubisoft makes the news for being idiots, I buy another Indie game.

I'm going to need your recommendations for great indie games.

Because Ubisoft has recently gotten me through my wishlist.

Edit: Quick update - Ubisoft is hell bent on seeing me help fund every indie game dev. Haha.

Anyway, I am making good use of all of your recommendations! Thank you!

    Yeah, I was just poking at what I assumed was a day off the cuff response. Didn't occur to me they might have tried formatting it, and failed.

    Thanks for breaking them out!

    Psuedoregalia I think has some of the best movement in any game. I was sad for it to be over, I needed more. I love games that leave room for "breaking" the intended path if you can find the right places to push the movement tech to its limits. Not many games do it.

    Pulled from my Top Playtime on Steam (so you know you'll get your money's worth if you like them!)

    • Factorio (Even though the DLC is pricey, it at least doubles the playtime. Though, like RW below, it takes a lot of content/concepts from fan-made mods.)
    • RimWorld (Though I dislike how many DLCs they're pumping out and how much is basically taken from mods.)
    • Terraria
    • Mount & Blade (Warband 1 & 2 are prime)
    • Kerbal Space Program (NOT the sequel)
    • TerraTech (The original is a better experience)
    • Both the Pathfinder games
    • Grim Dawn
    • The Riftbreaker
    • UnderRail
    • Mindustry (Open source/free, but deserves the support from buying it on Steam.)
    • No Man's Sky (They've gone above and beyond in shaping up since the clusterf release.)
    • The Long Dark
    • Rise to Ruins
    • Space Pirates and Zombies (1 and 2 are both great, in their own ways.)
    • Caves of Qud
    • Tales of Maj'Eyal
    • STALKER (I've heard bad things about #2, but the rest are great, high replayability with Anomaly.)
    • Astroneer
    • War for the Overworld
    • Autonauts (and Autonauts vs Piratebots!)

    STALKER 2 is generally fine today, I'm having a blast with it. Of course there are things that need fixing (e.g. telekinetic enemy throwing objects at you through walls seems to be the most egregious), but nothing game breaking afaik.

    The Last Caretaker and StarRupture are pretty fun if you like the factory survival type game. TLC is something really special IMO. The boat aspect is just so much fun.

    Here are my recommendations then:

    CrossCode is a personal favorite of mine. An action RPG heavily inspired by retro games.

    Library of Ruina is a great non-roguelike deckbuilder. Technically it's a sequel, but it's not necessary to know anything about Lobotomy Corporation to get the full enjoyment of its story. At most you can just look up LC's true ending if you aren't interested in brutally hard management sims.

    Tactical Breach Wizards is a really intertesting mix between a turn-based tactical game and a puzzle game.

    Bloodthief is great, fast paced with an extremely high skill ceiling. Unlockables give you something to strive for and the level based structure makes it easy to quickly pick up and put down. Some other games I see people recommended here that I love are Signalis, Pseudoregalia, and Sayonara Wild Hearts.

    Signalis is the best modern take on the old Resident Evil formula I've ever played, hands down. Pseudoregalia is a blast to play, the movement and tech in that game are unrivaled. I thought about comparing it to some Mario games, but that wouldn't do it justice. Sayonara Wild Hearts is short but beautiful, there is nothing out there like it and it probably has some deeper meaning to read into.
