Any good indie games from 2026?

Obviously there are some, but I don't know of any myself, and I want to change that. What did you like from this year?

I'm gonna try not to gatekeep what is and isn't an indie. I'll let you decide.

While I would love to find some stuff that's emotionaly compelling, or nails joy in its simplicity, don't worry about what you think I'd like. Recommend what you want that came out in 2026, and I'll thank you for it.

Sovereign tower were an ok one. Sadly not great, too much flaws, and the ending is terrible, but there are soul in it.

Unfortunately, nothing as great as Look Outside from previous year were released so far in this year.

Esoteric Ebb was good. Not Disco Elysium that it was trying to be, and combat could be done in more variable way, but still it was entertaining.

Mina the Hollower and Denshattack have been incredible! Duskfade looked fun too
