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!

A good FPS that's indie (though it's actually AA) is a game called Operation Harsh Doorstop. I hadn't played it in a while, but from what I know, it's a fantastic Battlefield-like, with some inspiration from the H2M project as well.

It's made in Unreal Engine, which was on UE4 at the time. I think they use UE5, and likely optimize the game themselves.
