I think this is the only thread where I actually haven’t seen any of the games before.
Another game I enjoyed was The Eternal Castle (remastered). It’s a remake of a game from 1987. The animation is great and the visual style is really cool.
I always like to give a mention to Your Spider. There are very few reviews (one of which are mine), but the game definitely deserves more attention.
This reminds me of 8Doors: Arum’s Afterlife. I’ll definitely want to check this out.
I feel like people must be tired of me recommending the same few games (you know, if anyone cared enough to read all my comments), but I’m the type of guy who is pretty much only interested in finding the more hidden gems, and I generally ignore the stuff that keeps showing up on the front page of Steam.

I’ve mentioned these before and I’ll do it again:
I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game since Farcry 3 when a friend invited me to join an online game (which is something I very rarely had the opportunity to do) but the game wouldn’t let me play because I didn’t have that subcription thing they had. I tried using the free signup code that came with the game, but my brother already used it. So yeah, I have a personal grudge against that shitty company.
Also, I hate what they did to the Rainbow Six franchise. The original games (by Red Storm, I think?) are what those games should’ve been.
For the indie horror genre: Your Spider
Ooh, this is my favorite topic to discuss! But I’ll keep this short because it’s late and I should be asleep by now).
I just started playing Exanima again after they released a big update. This game can take a little while to get used to, but it’s totally worth it. The physics-based movement is unique and the combat is fun. The enemies acts more sentient than than those in other games, and the early-game ones sometimes choose not to attack if you don’t act threatening toward them.
Read about the the features though. There’s a reason that this game has my second longest total playing time on Steam.
It’s not really a survival game. More of an exploration puzzle game. It doesn’t explicitly tell you where to go or what to do. You’re pretty much on your own to find clues and figure out what happened and how to end the time loop you’re stuck in. It really is a fascinating game. I haven’t played anything else quite like it.
I feel this way about so many indie games.
I don’t remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I’m not dissapointed so far.
