Risk of Rain 2
A third-person roguelike where the longer you survive, the harder it gets — frantic, build-stacking chaos that goes from trickle to avalanche.
Indie Backlog
Balatro
Poker, but a roguelike — the 2024 phenomenon that hijacked millions of evenings with the simplest "just one more hand" loop ever made.
Inscryption
A deck-building card game that keeps tearing off its own mask — start as a horror, end somewhere you’ll never see coming. One of the most surprising games in years.
Death’s Door
You’re a crow who reaps souls for a living — until a job goes wrong. A gorgeous, razor-sharp action-adventure in the Zelda mould.
Stray
You play a stray cat lost in a dying neon city of robots — the cosy, melancholy adventure that became one of the PS5’s defining indie hits.
Outer Wilds
A time-looping space mystery that hides its entire game inside a single solar system — and is, for many, the best game ever made.
Gris
A wordless watercolour journey through grief — less a game than a moving painting you walk through, and one of the most beautiful things on Switch.
Cocoon
A serene, mind-bending puzzle adventure of worlds within worlds — from the lead designer of Limbo and Inside.
Vampire Survivors
You barely even attack — you just move, dodge, and watch thousands of monsters explode. The minimalist phenomenon that launched a whole genre.
Tunic
A tiny fox, a top-down adventure that looks like classic Zelda — and a secret in-game manual that turns the whole thing into a glorious puzzle box.
