  Clonk Endevour is not my favorite game, but I played it a lot with friends when I was younger. You can play with 2 or even more people, with just a monitor and a keyboard! Also it’s so old it should run on any potato.

  I remember playing an RPG back in the day called “Dink Smallwood” on my old Macintosh laptop, it was one of the few games that were Mac compatible. Really funny and self aware dialogue, pretty great! I found out there’s an app version of it for mobile

    Holocure is amazing! I don’t even watch Vtubers I just looked at the highest rated games on steam and found it. Within the first 3 weeks I put in 100 hours

    Clair Obscur really isn’t an indie game.

  NaissancE

    That game is something else. Music by Pauline Oliveros is half of the game’s magic.

  Crimzon Clover: World EXplosion. Top 3 shmups of all-time and best shmup on Steam, IMO.

  Anything of Soldak - store.steampowered.com/franchise/soldak/ : 2 series - space shooters Drox and hack n slash Dins - Super coarse graphics, action, fighting, but their living worlds, like nowhere else. No other game where worlds freely grow based on player actions. Did You ever left main quest for exploration, lvling up or side games, oh well, here, world will not allow You to, as enemies won’t stay idle or wait for You, they do their business.

  Orb of Creation - store.steampowered.com/app/…/Orb_of_Creation/ Semi-clicker (intense clicker, not much of idle) and immersive mage simulator, where You don’t make Your mage-avatar, but are the mage. Still beta, but already big.

  I suppose I’ve plugged it recently, but Another Crab’s Treasure.

  It opens pretty plainly as an ocean-based Soulslike parody with a simple story premise and some self-subverting humor in the dialog with other crabs. As you go on though, every 20th conversation becomes really pointed and real-world-connecting, going beyond just “pollution bad”. It’s not quite Spec Ops: The Line, but it at least has something to say about society.

  The combat is frustrating but addictive, much like Souls games - and it’s okay with handing off a number of allowances like accessibility modes and tip systems. It’s even helpful that, if I die to a glitch or something bogus, I can actually just choose to re-obtain my microplastics (souls) through a menu.

  Factorio, hands down

  600 hours and counting. The space age expansion basically quadrupled the content, and is the first time I’ve played the game 100% vanilla with no mods in probably 10 years. Great times.

  Synthetik is my top steam game with, like, 900 hours.

  I really liked What Remains is Edith Finch. It was now of an experience and really struck some emotional chords, leaving me write emotional at the end.

  Really beautiful and melancholy experience.

  I loved a tiny one called The Last Day of June.

  It was on PlayStation Plus and it really had a great story.

  FlyKnight and ATLYSS, I think. Kinda retro but actually really good and very affordable.

  Absolute favorite is Outer Wilds. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I can’t experience it again. A true masterpiece of a game.

  After that, probably Noita for sheer insanity. Deeply unfair, but getting a god-run going is that much sweeter. It took me ~100 hours to beat it the first time, now I can consistently win if I try but I’m addicted to doing stupid things to see what happens.
