Subnautica. One of the best experiences I’ve had in gaming.
Outer Wilds. One of the most creative and thought-provoking games I’ve played. Definitely go into this one knowing as little as possible about it.
Hollow Knight also deserves a spot here, but personally I preferred Salt and Sanctuary.
Outer wilds is ridiculously good, it’s such a crazy unique experience. But you have to go in without spoilers, it’s not nearly as fun if you know where things are.
Gone Home.
Celeste.
Most of Pokemon fan games (my boyfriend loves fangames)
The Return of the Obra Dinn.
I would say Hades.
The gameplay loop, the art direction and the story are all very good.The games that stuck with me are (in no special order) Paradise Killer, Sable, Disco Elysium, Gris and of course What remains of Edith Finch.
FTL, Into the Breach, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Banished
Factorio has been my crack-torio for many years. Satisfactory may have better graphics, but I prefer the simplicity and depth of Factorio.
Gris. Gorgeous visuals and stress-free gameplay
Not incredibly long either
Celeste took much of my time, even though I’m usually not a big fan of this genre. Stray was pretty interesting for me as a fan of cyberpunk culture. Plague Tale was a breath of fresh air
My partner and I loved playing Plate Up! We’ve also played Overcooked 1 & 2, but spent more time playing Plate Up!.
I’m not sure what the cutoff is for indie these days, but I think the Ori games are perfect.
I play Ring of Pain a lot. It puts me in “just one more time” mode a lot and I end up playing for way longer than I intended.
Stardew Valley
There is this little hidden gem called The Witcher 3.
Ok, real answer: To the Moon and Doki Doki Literature Club are two indies that really left a mark on me, specially the former. Both games are fantastic.
Not posted here yet: Hades. Though, all of Supergiant’s games are worth playing.
