Hello, i was wondering if there are any good indie games on steam to try out. Can be free or paid, i don’t mind if there’s no native linux build either (i play stuff with wine/proton anyways lol) and i don’t mind the genre. I’ve been thinking of trying something new as of recent so i thought i might ask it here.

Thanks!

    Here’s a couple unique ones:

    Showgunners - Turn Based Strategy with some great art and setting.

    Lonestar - Space based rogue like turn based with a surprisingly intricate combat system.

    Project Wingman - Love letter to Ace Combat with a soundtrack that just DOES NOT miss.

    Tactical Breach Wizards - XCOM with wizards. Funny as hell.

    Battletech - Older title by Harebrained Schemes but still awesome. Giant stompy robots turn based. Great plot too. Actually had the original devs of Battletech on board.

      +1 for TBW. It takes all the fun parts if XCOM and ramps it up to 11. The lack of rng turns it more into a puzzle game, but it will always be satisfying defenestrating fools!
