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.
Category PlayStation 5
The best indie games to play on PS5 and PS4.
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.
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.
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.
Cult of the Lamb
Build a murderous cult by day, clear roguelike dungeons by night — an adorable, sinister mashup that became an instant phenomenon.
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.
Spiritfarer
A cozy management game about death — you are the ferrymaster who builds a boat, cares for departed spirits, and eventually says goodbye to each one.
Cuphead
A run-and-gun boss-rush of staggering difficulty, drawn frame-by-frame in the style of a 1930s cartoon — there is nothing else that looks like it.
