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!
Everything is a crab
There is no game(and their new game)
Deep rock galactic
Pompeii: The Legacy
Another take on roman inspired city builders. It’s in early access but already really playable.

Metropolis 1998
City builder inspired by sim city 2000 with pixel graphics. The interesting thing here is that you can plan and decorate the houses you build. So it’s a bit of simcity / sims mix with retro graphics
Currently only a demo is available.
Recommend me some good city builders that are not rome or europe themed. :)
The only one I can think about is Pharao.
There was a re-release recently

I love art of rally, iracing arcade, dome keeper, kingdoms and castles, stonks 9800, mini motorways and bzzzt, they all work on Linux. Hope you have fun with any game though.
I’ve been playing a lot of Parkitect recently, which is self-published
factorio squad expedition 33 no mans sky slay the spire 2 subnautica stardew valley terraria to the moon ib ao oni
these are the one i find good. your mileage may vary
Uboat
I’m sure you’ve heard of this one already, since the internet can’t stop talking about it, but Hollow Knight and Silksong are both phenomenal games.
I’ve also got to mention one of my personal favorites, Book of Hours (and it’s predecessor, Cultist Simulator). Weather Factory’s style is… unique to say the least, but if you love them you’ll really love them.
Also Balatro. Another one that I’m sure you’ve heard of because it has taken the internet by storm.
Are there any good indie games on the world’s largest video game store? I dunno, are there any trees in the Amazon?
From what I’ve been playing: Stardew Valley, Factorio, Vampire Survivors, Derail Valley, A Hat In Time, Project Wingman, Frostpunk 1 and 2, Portal 2 (technically self-published).
Vampire Survivors
My addition to Vampire survivor is Brotato
In addition to Vampire Survivors:
Holocure
songs of syx, couldnt stop playing that, just started dredge aswell
Rimworld. Does have a native Linux port. It’s a colony simulator in space. 2D. It you have a lot of control over your colony, you can micro manage everything. I have over 1000 hours in the game.
Captain of industry
Genre: Factory automation
Absolutely fantastic game
Any genre is pretty wide open but I’ll list some of my most played.
- Oxygen not included
- Hydroneer
- Abiotic Factor
- Raft
- Planet crafter
- Against the storm
- Graveyard keeper
Call of duty. Jokes aside what about bloons td6
Hades, Dave the diver, Terraria, dead cells… All good indies are on steam…
