Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I'll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it's a hidden gem tbh, but it's such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.

It really sucks that you bounced so hard. Some tips in case you ever do want to go back to it:

Enemies are puzzles too. Nearly every single enemy in the game has a specific trick to them that, once you get it down you can beat them much more easily. This includes bosses. Usually this is indicated by breaking the enemy.

Don't worry about the races. I think I only ever won a single race in the entire game, and it has literally zero consequence other than a couple lines of dialog. It's purely a feel good thing, and to connect you more with Emily through a friendly competition.

The story can feel a bit confusing and disconnected because there's 2 stories happening at once: the crossworlds story and the actual story. The actual story only really starts to get serious towards the end, so until then just focus on enjoying the fake-mmo world!

If it's not for you, it's not for you and there's nothing I can do about that, but I really want others to enjoy this game as much as I did because I do believe it's something special.
