    • Blasphemous 1 and 2
    • STALKER
    • Disco Elysium (awesome game, but the studio got into shady stuff and the game creators were booted. Just pirate it).
    • Commandos
    • Tzar
    • Imperivm
    • Tropico 3
    • Noita
    • Satisfactory
    • My summer car/my winter car (I personally have not played them but they have good reviews)

    Not very indie:

    • Europa Universalis
    • Crusader Kings
    • Hearts of Iron
    • the Witcher 1, 2, 3 (the 3rd one is the best)
    • Cyberpunk 2077

      Last I heard, the studio that made Disco Elysium kicked out the people who worked hard to make it great and collect all the money now. I think I got it from an Epic Games giveaway, would recommend getting it for free.

        Yup, just pirate it at this point. I’ll update that in the list.

    The studio developing Ori and the Blind Forest is Austrian if I remember correctly.

    Just played through Crisol.
    Gorgeous game. Gothic Spanish style. $17 on steam right now.

    Play it in native Spanish. The English dub is terrible.

    Mix between silent hill. Resident evil village.

    Mostly puzzles and traversing areas. Light combat action.

    Has a really unique combat mechanic. Your amo is made from your blood.

    Also it’s Eldritch horror. That caught me by surprise and was unexpected based on the trailers I saw.

    Took me like 13 hrs to play.

    Not a perfect game but def worth $17.

    Story could have been developed more but no apparent plot holes.

    Probably budget was a limiting factor there. https://youtu.be/5ZjZTQ5-xpM

    Owlcat Games - they made two Pathfinder games, Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous, some of my favorite CRPGs in recent memory. Their latest, Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, is supposed to be great as well, but I haven’t had the time to do more than check out the character creation so far.
