Indie Backlog exists for one reason: there are too many great indie games and not enough time.
Every month hundreds of indie titles launch, and the best of them get buried under bigger releases. We play, rank, and review them — organized by genre into clear, opinionated Top 20 lists — so you can spend less time searching and more time playing.
What we cover
- Genre-by-genre Top 20 rankings of the best indie games
- In-depth individual reviews with pros, cons, and a verdict
- Hidden gems that deserve a spot in your backlog
How we rank
Originality, writing and world, depth of systems, how cleverly a small budget is used, and replay value. Rankings are opinionated on purpose.
