Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

​

It has been an absolutely insane year of indie games already, with Silksong & Hades 2 alone already dealing the deal for 2025, but we still have so many more great games such as Abiotic Factor, Slime Rancher 2, CloverPit, Expedition 33(?) and so much more!

​

Honestly pretty hard to beat, so if you can think of a better year, do let me know.

​

Reminder: if you're planning on buying anything, the Steam Autumn Sale is in the coming week, so maybe wait a day or two to see if it goes on discount.
