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 bunch i really liked were:

  • Hades (and Hades 2) (action roguelike)
  • Dead Cells (side scroller roguelike)
  • Celeste (Precision Platformer)
  • HexCells (puzzle game)
  • Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun (Stealth Strategy, the other games by the same dev are great too)
  • Prey (well, maybe its not an indie, but its great)
  • Vampire Survivors (Bullet Heaven, great to zone out too, lots of things to collect)
  • BugSnax (Not sure if Indie, but a lot more fun than it looks)
  • Cave Story (Side Scroller)
  • Creeper World 4 (Strategy game, I think 4 is the most recent. No need to play older ones unless you want more of the same)
  • Earth Defence force 6 (janky, but fun multiplayer with friends)
  • Heros Hour (strategy)
  • Oxygen Not Included (colony builder)
  • Rim World (colony builder)
  • Satisfactory (Automation game)
  • Pit People (strategy game)
  • Supraland (puzzle game, sequel is fun too)
  • The Talos Principle (Puzzle game, I think its indie?)
  • Undertale (RPG, its fantastic)
  • You must build a boat (Match 3)

Fun fact: The Talos Principle is by the same devs that made all the Serious Sam games.
