Ive been trying some indie developed games this past year, more than ever and I'm in awe what lone devs or small teams can accomplish.

So, what are some games that you think don't have the recognition they deserve, need a bigger audience or you would like the community to try.

I myself for example have played Monster Sanctuary, which at this point I think is not that hidden anymore and played a rougelike game called Elona, haven't played RimWorld or Dwarf Fortress but I might in the future.

Sorry if a similar post already exists haven't checked.

Everything - a zen game about everything, very chill

The Sexy Brutale - weird name, actually a fantastic time travelling LucasArts adventure style game

Neo Scavenger - ignore the graphics, this is a really in-depth turn based post-apocalyptic mini rpg where you will come to love plastic bags

OneShot is a simple and flawed game but it'll leave a strong impact if you let it. Highly recommend going into it FULLY blind.

Don't sure if it's exactly hidden but for me Dungeons III (and 2) has been unexpectedly fun. It takes everything that made Dungeon Keeper and it takes a level higher. Pretty fun game.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is an absolute gem. Perhaps not "hidden" since it did get a full physical release, but I don't see people talk about it. Game is like an hour long but it's absolutely worth playing. The portal of music games really.

Also shoutout to selfy collection. idk if it counts as indie but it's low budget for sure, digital-only release, and filled with engrish, but it's a lovely game and easily the best dress up game on switch.

Kenshi - a brutal, and sometimes janky squad free roaming game. I have far too many hours in that.
Pulsar - Lost Colony - Fun game if you have a few friends around. Pretend to be Captain Kirk - except chaos.
Rimworld -- Dwarf Fortress lite
Dwarf Fortress - Grand daddy inspiration for most other games
Torchlight - Diablo
Project Zomboid - All your top down zombie hunting dreams come true
Carrier Command - Drone carrier warfare
Nebulous Fleet Command - The Expanse.

Does X4 count as Indie?

+1 for Kenshi and Rimworld.

It's admittedly gotten a lot of shout outs with Diablo's release, but Grim Dawn. Just a super great old school ARPG with a fun multi class system. I think I made a mistake by letting it be one of the first in the genre I really got into, so it's kinda tough to find another one that competes.

The soundtrack slaps too.

Here is a good one

If you liked Hades, play Ember Knights. It’s in early access but I legit put 6 hours in my first session cuz it scratched that Hades itch juuuuuust right
