Favorite Indie game?

[PKT]

Touhou: Artificial Dream in Arcadia is a phenomenal game that mimics older SMTs. Pizza Tower is also great. I liked Lunistice, Alwa's Awakening, False Skies, Stardew, Balatro, and Gravity Circuit as well

Super Meat Boy, vvvvvv, Cave Story, La Mulana were all pretty nice back in the day.

I don't think I can pick a favorite.
Some Indie games I've really enjoyed would be Cross Code, Infernax, Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight, Chained Echoes, Sea of Stars, The Messenger, 20XX, Alwa's Awakening, Fell Seal, Astalon, Bleed/Bleed 2, Minishoot' Adventures, Symphony of War, Cosmic Star Heroine, Monster Sanctuary, Ocean's Heart, Rise of the Third Power, Shadows of Adam, Gravity Circuit, Axiom Verge, and Crystal Project.

• Fear & Hunger 1&2
• Garage: Bad Dream Adventure
• DEMON'S TILT & XENOTILT
• SIGNALIS
• The Edge of Allegoria

I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of games, but those are a few off the top of my head.
Edit: I misread and thought of more!

• In Stars and Time
• Kenshi
• Growing My Grandpa!
• Brutal Orchestra

Some serious gems in there! Infernax made me lose some hair, but I love it.

Infernax is so good! Its like the way my mind wants to remember Zelda II and Castlevania II, combined and turned up to 13

Yep, CV2 in all but name, a massive gem.

I think these would probably be my top 10 though I could change my mind on a different day:

Mark of the Ninja
Valiant Hearts the Great War
The Messenger
The Sexy Brutale
Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition
Dust an Elysian Tail
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
The Dishwasher Vampire Smile
Chained Echoes
Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth

These are also great and highly recommended:

New Super Lucky's Tale
Super Daryl Deluxe
Kaze and the Wild Masks
Smelter
Narita Boy
Dex
Vengeful Guardian Moonrider
Infernax
Astalon: Tears of the Earth
Hotline Miami

I know there are likely plenty of others that I am forgetting.

Axiom Verge.

Disco Elysium is perfect in my eyes, it helps that it checked a lot of boxes that appeal to me specifically.

Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart is also a fantastic kart racer especially with mods. Don't know if any racer even from a big studio can top it.

I don't consider 90s small team games like Garage Bad Dream or the Osamu Sato games as indie.

Anyway:
-Yume Nikki
-Where they cremate the roadkill
-Hypnospace Outlaw
-OFF (original version)
-Space Funeral

Hylics 1 & 2, FTL, Vintage Story and of course Kenshi are just a few of the ones that come up first when I think about it~~ there are so many good indie games out there tho, I could just keep going
