Someone has already mentioned DeusEx - Dishonored games also fit the category. If you are into grounded wilderness survival experiences, I recommend The Long Dark. If you are into SciFi and just don’t like space as a setting, try Metro and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. None of these are indies though.
Modern reboot of Wolfenstein (The New Order, Old Blood and The New Colossus) are also quite fun and brilliant - they do occasionally send you to space though (there are levels on the Moon and Venus). The recent Indiana Jones game from the same studio (Machine Games) is really good as well.
Hyper Light Drifter in my opinion is a perfect synergy of beautiful soundtrack, ambiance design, atmosphere and gorgeous pixel art. I wish I had enough artistic aptitude to pull something like that off.
