Fantastic titles made by people in their bedrooms.

Aside from FTL (which I'm glad to see is well-represented here), my top ones would probably be Papers, Please and Disco Elysium. Papers, Please manages to pair a good narrative leading to many endings with oddly fun gameplay. Disco Elysium simply has some of the best writing ever in a video game and world lore that I can't get enough of.

I also really liked The Binding of Isaac (Rebirth and later), Don't Starve, Shovel Knight, and Hollow Knight.
