• Depends what you’re looking for.

        • Deep Rock Galactic is my most common recommendation. Dwarves, mining, space bugs. Devs care a lot about the community and community input.

        • Elite Dangerous is great if you want an excellent space flight sim (Frontier isn’t exactly indie, but the Elite devs operate like one).

        • Warframe is fun and has the absolute best, non-predatory F2P model.

        • Lost Ruins, Batbarbarian, Aquaria, and Hollow Knight are excellent Metroidvanias.

        • Ori and the Blind Forest is technically a Metroidvania, but it’s a beautiful experience, from the art, to the story, to the music.

        • Yoko Island Express is a pinball platformer. Yes, you read that correctly.

        • Blasphemous is a 2D Souls-like.

        • Hades, RAD, and Mana Spark are great rogue-lites.

        You could spend hundreds if not thousands of hours on the first three alone.
