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!

If you're generally looking for Indie games (meaning smaller teams, max. AA budget), there much selection in this comment section.

If you mean hidden gems, that not many people have played/know about, then take a look at https://buried-treasure.org/

I haven't seen this site, but when looking at it just now I saw a review of a game I loved and when I opened it the article was not what I was expecting from a review.

Uhmmmm wtf? I haven't consciously seen something like that in any of their reviews LOL. And I clicked on some random other ones and didn't see something like this. And it wasn't even published on April 1st?!

I'm imagining that the author had been saving this digression/rant for the game least in need of a walkthrough.
