Haha I’m totally not doing this just to find and play a great underrated indie game. ^^

    A couple I haven’t seen mentioned:

    -Satisfactory: A first person factory builder and exploration game that scratches an itch no other game can. Made by Coffee Stain Studios, great all around. Prepare your Excel (LibreOffice Calc?) spreadsheets.

    -The Witness: A first person puzzle game by Jonathan Blow (creator of Braid, great game too). Many people think it is boring, or that it takes itself too seriously and that it’s not that smart. But if it clicks with you, it’s an amazing experience start to end, can’t recommend enough.

      Hopping on your post to proselytize on behalf of The Looker. It’s free and it’s wonderful. It is also a spoof of sorts of The Witness.

      I loved The Witness and would add The Talos Principle. Immersing yourself in these worlds and their puzzles is just something very special.

        I thought about including Talos here but I don’t know if croteam counts as an indie dev :) Very excited for Talos 2 though!

          Good point, I’ve always thought if it as an Indie due to it being published via Devolver Digital. Didn’t know much about croteam and that they’ve developed Serious Sam etc. :O
