Less DRM, smaller filesizes, no stupid anticheat, and no always online bs. Anyone agree with me?

    Abandon AAA, buy more indie or AA games and you’ll find what you want

        I can give so many but you’ll have to narrow down your preferences a bit ^^

        I’ve recently been playing Remnant 2, Songs of Syx, Age of Darkness, dotAGE, Helldivers, Valheim, Against the Storm all really impressive and amazing games made by (relatively) small studios or AA developers with a passion for games. If you’re completely new to the indie scene you probably can’t go wrong with Hades, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Terraria

        You should try hollow knight, its a great metroidvania, and without saying too much the entire game is amazing, just the first zone is a bit boring

        Try looking for a Steam curator with tastes similar to yours. I like SkillUp’s curator page, maybe try that as a jumping off point.

          Could try that I guess, but I don’t really do PC gamjng anymore.

            Well, same principle can be applied to other platforms. Find a streamer who plays a game you like you like and see what else they like.

        Hero’s Hour is a pixel art game that’s about building an army. Really solid indie game! Also a fan of Revita, it’s a roguelike but done very well and is mostly unique.
