With the Steam sale running, this seems like a good time to try this thread again. We don’t often use the downvote button much in Lemmy, but the idea is this: Do your best to present game suggestions that no one has heard of before. If, in reading other people’s suggestions, you spot one that you’re familiar with, then put a downvote on it. Ideally, if the game is past a year old, it may have a discounted price during the Steam sale, and others will be able to check it out.
I’ve made this thread once before and it generated some good suggestions, but the rate of indie publishing on Steam has only accelerated with time, so it seems to be worth trying again.
Void Collector
It’s a fast-paced fps game where your goal is to speedrun through each level. The main mechanic is that you switch weapons by flipping fingers up and down to change hand gestures. The movement and shooting are very smooth, and the soundtrack is incredible.
Also, Hylics and Hylics 2
They’re jrpgs that are very surreal and trippy. They both have amazing style and presentation, and the second game has one of my all-time favorite soundtracks
