Apparently 0 doesn't work great on steam deck. Like it's fine FPS wise but videos bug out and weird green bar and stuff. Also from what I tried the game is just not that good lol

New traversal sequences are coming to Tandar. Experience Kristala's first open world level in our upcoming 1.0 release. #traversal #parkour #arpg #soulslike #arpg #indiedev

Valkyrie Saga is incredible so far. old-school 3D platformer with extremely slick movement, set in a world that's much bigger and more full of secrets than I was expecting going in. highly highly recommend checking it out store.steampowered.com/app/2663150/...

Vernal Edge is 80% off on Steam right now and is an insane steal for one of the best action games in the last decade

God of War 2018 but I feel like that's the same for most people with modern critically acclaimed Sony story heavy games anyway.

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

In fairness Prince of Persia The Lost Crown was pretty excellent but I guess still mostly true

Angeline Era on Steam Explore a secret-filled land in this 3D Action-Adventure, where every level is hidden in plain sight! Travel and fight through a vast, unmarked overworld. The next surprise is only a single search awa...

Looks pretty cool! Zelda like game but you move your perspective around like a bit in FEZ but not as complicated puzzles or as big puzzles.

This is funny for me too since I loved Hollow Knight.Tried path of pain and gave up on it quick. I got up to the final boss fight in the dlc.I think it was the boss fights more then anything that was hard to me in the dlc for me. But dlc is pretty simple. If you think won't like it probably won't.

I actually played and got up to the final boss in the dlc over Christmas break and yeah it's a good bit harder feeling then the main game lol.I did enjoy it personally. It's interesting since I feel the reverse. Combat is decent but very repetitive to me. Platforming was the thing game nailed for me

I follow loads of indie game channels and regularly check steam new upcoming games and you still managed to mention some nice surprises for me too. You definitely deserve that praise man!

Fantastic list and made me come across Ink Inside never heard of this before! A cartoon pilot from somebody who seemed to work on Cartoon Network games who made a dodgeball story local co op game!

Me too!

the character Nagi from the video game "NEO The World Ends With You" saying "This whole reapers' game is most detestable. I give it a -200 out of 10!" while overdramatically pointing and tearing up

New year means new thread of all the games i've beaten (or otherwise played to satisfaction where rolling credits isn't a meaningful metric) in 2026! This year I'm gonna try to post more steam reviews to both cap off the experience hopefully give a little boost to all the indies i play - LET'S GO

This one almost slipped right by me this year. If you like Slay The Spire, Monster Train, or anything like that then you owe it to yourself to pick this up. Less than $20 on Steam right now as well so no excuses.

31. Deep Sleep Labyrinth of the Forsaken, by far the most ambitious game from the dev so far. Combat you do sometimes does feel eh but the story,puzzles,writing and visuals are excellent imo!

31. Silent Hill F, no its not a horror resource management game at all, only few hours in but I would agree with people that combat is eh and puzzles but the story and characters are very engaging.If your a big fan of story and don't mind this being action game and eh combat

30.It was lovely following this devs monthly videos on you tube and the game was really fun! The gravity wall walking ability with a 3D metroidvania was very fun idea!

29. Hundred Line Last Defence Academy, the like only time I agree for once with the "dude it gets so good 30 hours in", wildly ambitious visual novel game. Its a bit bloated but its cool to find all the story bits! Gives the rare feeling of being surprised by a game

28.Clair Obscure, everybody knows about this by now lol.But yeah I really liked it! I did think before it came out that it looked quite interesting in trailers.

27. Loved this game and episode 2 just came out like last week!Each episode is several hours long and free prologue episode that is several hours long too.Ace attorney fans would love this. @nthcircle.bsky.social
