With the Steam sale running, this seems like a good time to try this thread again. We don't often use the downvote button much in Lemmy, but the idea is this: Do your best to present game suggestions that no one has heard of before. If, in reading other people's suggestions, you spot one that you're familiar with, then put a downvote on it. Ideally, if the game is past a year old, it may have a discounted price during the Steam sale, and others will be able to check it out.

I've made this thread once before and it generated some good suggestions, but the rate of indie publishing on Steam has only accelerated with time, so it seems to be worth trying again.

Free Stars: the Ur-Quan Masters. 391 reviews on Steam although anyone olders than 45 might have heard of it as Star Control 2.

Totally free and a great (retro) game that holds up well. Sci-fi, exploration (make sure you have something to take notes on) and great lore.
