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!
Noita is very cool, very deep, and has a tonne of content. It’s common for people’s first win to take about 100 hours, if they watch/read guides & the wiki
And I say first win, because the community calls getting your first win “the tutorial”. It’s 10% or less of the total content in-game
Two things that make it stand out: firstly, it’s hard. The community calls it “wizard death simulator”. That doesn’t mean that it’s not fun even at the start or that you can’t become ridiculously powerful, just that you will suck when you first start playing
Secondly, it’s not a metaprogression game which gives you the illusion of progressing by unlocking things or bumping up your stats. Killing bosses does unlock spells, but none of them are “if I find this at the start I’ll melt enemies”. They’re more “if I find this halfway through a run it might be fun to experiment and see what weird kind of a wand I can build”

Tell me that doesn’t look sick
I got my first victory at a mere 80 hours, so you could say I’m a God gamer. And the only thing Gods fear is polymorph.
