Ive been trying some indie developed games this past year, more than ever and I'm in awe what lone devs or small teams can accomplish.

So, what are some games that you think don't have the recognition they deserve, need a bigger audience or you would like the community to try.

I myself for example have played Monster Sanctuary, which at this point I think is not that hidden anymore and played a rougelike game called Elona, haven't played RimWorld or Dwarf Fortress but I might in the future.

Sorry if a similar post already exists haven't checked.

Slice & Dice - dice-based roguelite. Runs on mobile as well.

Don't sure if it's exactly hidden but for me Dungeons III (and 2) has been unexpectedly fun. It takes everything that made Dungeon Keeper and it takes a level higher. Pretty fun game.

Everything - a zen game about everything, very chill

The Sexy Brutale - weird name, actually a fantastic time travelling LucasArts adventure style game

Neo Scavenger - ignore the graphics, this is a really in-depth turn based post-apocalyptic mini rpg where you will come to love plastic bags

If you like RW/DF, look into Factorio, Satisfactory, Oxygen Not Included. They're all sim/logistics games with different focuses. Factorio is more logistics/big factory minded. Satisfactory has more exploration. Oxygen Not Included is very physics based, you'll need to understand heat transfer by mid game.

I like Deep Rock Galactic a lot more than I thought I would. I don't usually like FPS's. It's coop only. There's mining, and the terrain is 100% destructible. The movement powers are amazing! I love the platform gun. Also, playing dress up with my chunky, ugly dwarf is the BEST.

Hardspace Shipbreaker is amazing. It's shorter than I want, but it's SO well done. I want more of it! You play a disassembler, taking ships apart and chucking the parts into their respective bins. However, the dystopian management has zero worker safety, so it's not so simple. The music is amazing. The voice acting, superb.

Super Auto Pets has replaced Hearthstone for me, it's fantastic.

CrossCode! Incredible game, probably my favorite game of all time.

It's so much more than it looks. The music is awesome, and in some powerful scenes, the story is driven forward with musical motifs that make the scenes hit that much harder.

The story is just... really good. I teared up a few times.

The characters are beautifully written and extremely memorable. By the end of the game, you really feel like you've been living with them.

People say they don't like the puzzles, but the game comes with difficulty sliders and you can turn down things you don't like.

You can get it on consoles, or, on Steam, and even GOG!

There is a DLC to this game. If you enjoy the game, DON'T SKIP THE DLC!!! It is THE ending to the game! Some might scoff at "oh wow they locked the story behind the DLC," but no, trust me, it is well worth it. It adds a TON of content and is an extremely well put together finale to the epic story told in the game.
