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!

    Can confirm that Outer Wilds and Return of the Obra Dinn are amazing games unlike anything I’ve had played before. Though both needed some time before it clicked for me. Subnautica, Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Hades are solid games too.

    I’d also like to mention Soma (a horror game I still often think about) and the two Ori games (metroidvanias with incredible soundtracks).

      I could never get into Outer Wilds; had no clue what to do and the space controls are really wonky.

      If you liked Obra Dinn, I really like The Roottrees are Dead which was very similar but kind of different.

        Thanks for the recommendation. That looks interesting. Added to my wishlist. Hope there’s not too much typing or it might get tiresome on the steam deck.
