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!


Zero Ranger and Void Stranger if you’re into shmups and sokoban puzzle games respectively, and both back to back if you like putting together a puzzle of how the fuck how the two games are related
Mewgenics and Binding of Isaac are both fun pick up and play a round kind of games. The first is a turn based tactics roguelite and the second is a more actiony roguelite
Hypnospace outlaw is fake digital archaeology where you play as a forum moderator in a bizarro 1999 internet where users surf da web during their sleep. It’s fun. I’m pretty upset the sequel got cancelled :(
Pizza Tower is some sick (and fast) platformer fun. Grimy aesthetic, stressed out paisano MC doing sick taunt parries. feels like both Wario and Sonic the Hedgehog. good time all around. Haste is another good run fast jump high game, kinda makes me wonder what a 3d sonic could’ve been if it was good. Only downside is that the levels themselves aren’t terribly inspired. Fun though.
Look Outside is the best RPG i’ve played since Baldurs Gate 3. Something fucked up is happening outside and you’re just some schlubby guy named sam who is bored to tears of sitting around inside. Go see what fucked up things your neighbors turned into after looking outside.
Cyberpunk Dreams is a fully text-based RPG where you get dropped into Cinncinati in the grimdark future of like, twenty years from now. You gotta learn to survive in a world that fucking SUCKS, but you get to make friends with weirdos like a homophobic prostitute who cares, get stupid rich selling some gasoline you found out in the desert (for a second until you piss away all of your cash on clothes and cars), and be a mutant vampire with a horse dick??? caveat: it has one of those facebook games energy systems. that sucks. I still put 100 hours into it tho.
