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!

    Are there any good indie games on the world’s largest video game store? I dunno, are there any trees in the Amazon?

    From what I’ve been playing: Stardew Valley, Factorio, Vampire Survivors, Derail Valley, A Hat In Time, Project Wingman, Frostpunk 1 and 2, Portal 2 (technically self-published).

    I love art of rally, iracing arcade, dome keeper, kingdoms and castles, stonks 9800, mini motorways and bzzzt, they all work on Linux. Hope you have fun with any game though.

    Rimworld. Does have a native Linux port. It’s a colony simulator in space. 2D. It you have a lot of control over your colony, you can micro manage everything. I have over 1000 hours in the game.

    I’m sure you’ve heard of this one already, since the internet can’t stop talking about it, but Hollow Knight and Silksong are both phenomenal games.

    I’ve also got to mention one of my personal favorites, Book of Hours (and it’s predecessor, Cultist Simulator). Weather Factory’s style is… unique to say the least, but if you love them you’ll really love them.

    Also Balatro. Another one that I’m sure you’ve heard of because it has taken the internet by storm.

    Dear Esther: Landmark Edition

    I am mostly confident that all of those are either self published or published via what was at least at the time of original release of the game, a fairly small indie publisher.

    EZ and EZ2 are technically mods for HL2 but they are pretty darn gpod and then quite good, respectively.

    Squad is basically the old Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2, but made in Unreal Engine by at least originally about 75% of the old PR mod team.

    Anyway, I tried to pick some games that are indie, but are not as well known.
