Welcome to Recommend a Game! This is a brand new community for you to share your thoughts, reviews, demo impressions or just gushing about indie games you've recently played.
When posting, please consider the following guidelines:
- Posts should be in English
- You should have actually played the game. Discussing newly announced games belongs in !news@indie-ver.se
- Posts should be your writing. They can be a text post or a link to an external blog or YouTube video that you made, but don't post IGN articles
- Your post should be more in-depth that just "this game is great!". Why is it great? What parts of it are not so great? What kind of person would also enjoy this game?
- I don't think we need any posts about what incredible hidden gems Stardev Valley, Celeste and Vampire Survivors are.

It's not exactly indie, but on Linux I can't play Fortnite, so anime knockoff Fate Trigger has been fun to try out. It uses hero shooter abilities, and has a very fast time to kill, while also being third-person, which I suppose is a combination of factors we don't see much (I guess maybe it's close to PUBG, but I've never played that. One differentiator there is the characters being colorful, and environments low-poly, which makes people easy to spot).
I played Ground Zero on the last nextfest. It's fun, but hard as far as survival horror goes. It has unique mechanics for shooting and for defending that give a lot of skill expression, but it means if you're not using them well you may become starved for ammo.
Pragmata, from Capcom, also seems to have some unique shooting mechanics, but you go against slightly slower, more digestible enemies. I enjoyed the demo, short as it was.
Far Far West was fun, but given that it competes in the same spheres as games like Helldivers, it's a little hard to recommend against more established games.
