These days, Indies are really popping off IMO. Gems like Animal Well are coming out all the time. What are your favorites?

Of course the big ones like Hades, Disco Elysium, Slay the Spire, Balatro. A few lesser known ones that I really like and wish got more attention:

  • Griftlands: two-track deck building roguelite by Klei (Don't Starve, Oxygen not Included, Mark of the Ninja) with rich worldbuilding and good stories. Honestly criminal how little attention it got.

  • Streets of Rogue: Immersive sim roguelike with lots of cool characters and situations you can stumble into. Eagerly awaiting the sequel!

  • Shadows Over Loathing: stick figure rpg with a unique setting and humor that's actual entertaining. Overshadowed by the success of its predecessor West of Loathing, and perhaps not as good, but still very enjoyable.
