One of the great things about our best indie games list is that most of these more obscure titles, unlike AAA game publishers, don’t try to squeeze you out of every penny every chance they get. Free from corporate influence and constant badgering for your money, the best indie games give players the pure artistic vision of the developers – most ideally experienced on one of the best gaming PCs. In fact, many of them are among the best Steam games you can download in 2019.

The best indie games can easily rival mainstream games in both quality and scope.
