Okay. I'm keeping my commitment, but I'm going to need help.

Everytime Ubisoft makes the news for being idiots, I buy another Indie game.

I'm going to need your recommendations for great indie games.

Because Ubisoft has recently gotten me through my wishlist.

Pulled from my Top Playtime on Steam (so you know you'll get your money's worth if you like them!)

  • Factorio (Even though the DLC is pricey, it at least doubles the playtime. Though, like RW below, it takes a lot of content/concepts from fan-made mods.)
  • RimWorld (Though I dislike how many DLCs they're pumping out and how much is basically taken from mods.)
  • Terraria
  • Mount & Blade (Warband 1 & 2 are prime)
  • Kerbal Space Program (NOT the sequel)
  • TerraTech (The original is a better experience)
  • Both the Pathfinder games
  • Grim Dawn
  • The Riftbreaker
  • UnderRail
  • Mindustry (Open source/free, but deserves the support from buying it on Steam.)
  • No Man's Sky (They've gone above and beyond in shaping up since the clusterf release.)
  • The Long Dark
  • Rise to Ruins
  • Space Pirates and Zombies (1 and 2 are both great, in their own ways.)
  • Caves of Qud
  • Tales of Maj'Eyal
  • STALKER (I've heard bad things about #2, but the rest are great, high replayability with Anomaly.)
  • Astroneer
  • War for the Overworld
  • Autonauts (and Autonauts vs Piratebots!)

STALKER 2 is generally fine today, I'm having a blast with it. Of course there are things that need fixing (e.g. telekinetic enemy throwing objects at you through walls seems to be the most egregious), but nothing game breaking afaik.

I'd like to add Satisfactory to this list.

Lets be real here... Factorio probably has more time played than all the others combined right? lol

[–] avav2y1rs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

All combined? No. Top in playtime by a very large margin over #2? You betcha! 😁

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The Riftbreaker is fun and graphcally nice to look at. For city builders, I'd also like to suggest:

  • Manor Lords
  • Timberborn

Amazing. Thank you!
