Not seen Spelunky2 in this list. It's a quite hard rogue like platformer, but procedurally generated.
Also Noita (I think this is an indie?). Again procedurally generated game, but the map is bigger than expected. Wand programming at its finest
Noita is like Spelunky on acid
Call of duty. Jokes aside what about bloons td6
Grimshire - moody farming game where you keep your villagers alive during a plague
Everything is a crab
There is no game(and their new game)
Deep rock galactic
Uboat
A gem is stationeers
Clair Obscur and Rogue: Genesia.
Our adventuring guild: Tactics game full of flavour and min-max potential about getting a run down "guild of adventurers" from near extinction to a world class power
And my favorite right now: IGTAP. full release soon but the demo is so fun already. Play with proton even though there is a Linux build
Captain of industry
Genre: Factory automation
Absolutely fantastic game
Make Way. Fun little racing game with Ultimate Chicken Horse and Mario kart mechanics
The Forgotten City. The less you know about it the better
And Inscryption is one of my favorite card battlers
Fun fact, The Forgotten City was originally a Skyrim mod.
And I gotta say, the story in that one was impeccable.
No, unfortunately there are not any good indie games on steam.
Blueblood Arena
I play this game called Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum a little while back. It's a weird sorta immersive sim type game. You hack computers and shoot people and a bunch of other stuff as a cyborg corporate agent/debt-slave. It was cool
Vanguard Galaxy is a cool space sim, mine, salvage, run missions. Gives me offline Eve Online vibes. Amazingly cheap for the content it already has. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3471800/Vanguard_Galaxy/
Baba is you for a fun puzzle game, moving around words to build rules that affect the game world
I enjoyed the demo for Heroes of the Seven Isles. I bought the full game when it came out but haven't had a chance to play it much. Really fun old school point and click adventure puzzle game with hand drawn doodle-style art.
Absolum. Great modern take on side scrolling beat em ups.

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.
