• This war of mine;
• Dust - An Elysian Tail;
• Broforce;
• Bastion;

Many more of course.

I recently played Outer Wilds for the first time last week. Games like this, I always worry they're overhyped, but it was great.

There's a lot of good games on this list, plus ones I've never played before, I should probably check some of them out.

CrossCode! Why is this freaking game still such an underdog?
Zero Sievert is also well worth mentioning.

This list is utterly fantastic, but if you haven't given Dave The Diver a chance you definitely should. It's by far my favorite release from this year, and the devs seem to have even more content planned.

Can confirm these are absolute bangers

Rock and stoneee o-T

That feeling when you have played (and loved!) Like 90% of this list lmao

..do I play too many games?

..nah

I see an fellow barotrumua player. My favourite aspect of barotrumua is the griefing clowning aspect

Thank you very much for the recommendations!

I'd like to add Ardor to the list. It's a free turn based deck building game where you face off against hexagon creatures on a hexagon board. It's pretty polished for an actual free to play game.

Ty for the list!

Can you recommend any dungeon crawlers or survival games?

Tower defense and strategy in general.

A few of those games form my core of things I'll go back to every so often, though my list isn't all Indies. I'd probably throw CDDA, Dwarf Fortress and KSP in there too though, off the top of my head. Surprised to see foxhole in there but I suppose it's in a relatively decent state at the moment and it's somehow claimed 1400 hours from me on steam now.

Yea, I wouldn't give them any money, though. The actual creators got fucked and any purchases of the game go to the people that fucked them. Great game, but I'd sail the seas for it.
