With the Steam sale running, this seems like a good time to try this thread again. We don’t often use the downvote button much in Lemmy, but the idea is this: Do your best to present game suggestions that no one has heard of before. If, in reading other people’s suggestions, you spot one that you’re familiar with, then put a downvote on it. Ideally, if the game is past a year old, it may have a discounted price during the Steam sale, and others will be able to check it out.
I’ve made this thread once before and it generated some good suggestions, but the rate of indie publishing on Steam has only accelerated with time, so it seems to be worth trying again.
I’ve been playing Idols of Ash and Echo Point Nova.
Both are pretty nifty, don’t usually see much conversation about either.
Idols of Ash is great! We need more grappling hooks in games.
Echo point Nova is great. Like what I imagined future FPS would games would be in 2010 before they all just became military sims
Ooooh this looks fun as hell. I saw “released 2024” and expected online-only PvP nonsense, but no, it’s singleplayer + coop? and the movement looks SO GOOD.
And it has a demo! This recent trend of games having demos is pretty awesome. Would be nice if the store page didn’t hide it in the sidebar, though. Wonder why it did that (I saw reference to a demo in the reviews and assumed the demo had been delisted at first).
