Best free "indie" games

Play games defined by keyword "indie" sorted by user rating.

In gaming, indie refers to games created by individuals or small teams, usually without the financial backing of a major publisher. These games often emphasize creativity, experimentation, and unique artistic vision, allowing developers to take risks with gameplay, story, or style that bigger studios might avoid. Indie games can range from minimalist puzzles to sprawling adventures, and they frequently rely on digital distribution, crowdfunding, or community support. The term highlights both the independence of the creators and the often distinctive, personal touch that sets these games apart from mainstream releases.
