This year has had an amazing start with indie titles so far imo. All cheaper than full blown triple A games.

1. Palworld : genuinely fresh take on Pokémon
2. Enshrouded: well built survival game. Still in early access though, might be much better in a year or so.
3. Last Epoch: best arpg in years?
4. Helldivers: deserves all the hype and then some.

And then rimworld is getting a new expansion, what more can you wish for?
