There are a lot of great Indie titles, and you can get a lot of them DRM free on Humble or Gog.

I've loved a lot of Devolver's stuff. The Red String Club, Hotline Miami I/II, Katana ZERO .. all super incredible games with gameplay and story that's just as fun as the any of the big AAA shops.

I'm loving Annapurna Interactive, games like What Remains of Edith Finch and Outer Wilds have been amazing. 'What Remains of Edith Finch' feels like a (shorter) AAA title, no compromise in production values whatsoever.

Devolver is astounding, they really keep snapping up indie projects that do exceptionally well - don't forget Reigns in that list it's definitely on the lighter end but it's very well put together.

Focus Home Interactive publishes some great AA games. I'm very glad publishers like them continue to exist.

Same, Devolver is phenomenal. Enter the Gungeon and Fall Guys are both smash hits too
