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!

Are there any good indie games on the world's largest video game store? I dunno, are there any leafy trees in the Amazon?

From what I've been playing: Stardew Valley, Factorio, Vampire Survivors, Derail Valley, A Hat In Time, Project Wingman, Frostpunk 1 and 2, Portal 2 (technically self-published), Signalis. Voices Of The Void will eventually have a Steam release. All of those games work well on Linux.

In addition to Vampire Survivors:

Holocure

Vampire Survivors

My addition to Vampire survivor is Brotato

I could not stand Brotato, personally...

It's not a VS-like, but for top-down arena shooters, Disfigure takes the cake. And it's free!
