Live for Speed
I've been playing it on and off for over 20 years now with some definite highs and lows but I have nothing but respect for the devs (3 people) and community. It's not on any store fronts and they just do their own thing.

Another Crab’s Treasure.
Oh, haha, a souls game but with crabs, funny parody haha!
Except, no, while it does seem like it would be compared to SpongeBob humor, and it does self censor “shit” to “ship”, the themes of the story go well beyond just “Crab must find his stolen shell!”
It takes time to ramp up but in some ways it feels like a better-written game than most Soulslikes (to me, that’s not a high bar given the way many of them wrap their lore in many layers of obfuscation that you don’t get to enjoy in the moment)
Watching speedruns and trying NG+ is also a lot of fun.
i love its anticapitalist take on ocean pollution. unironically smart stuff
Most of what I play is indie and choosing a favorite is too hard, so instead I'll go with biggest playtime. Antimatter Dimensions, also on Steam, has quickly shot to having the highest playtime of my Steam library. It is an idle/incremental game. Bonus points: free! Most of the idle/[email protected] I have played have been free in the browser without IAPs, and seem to have been made by one or a few people.
Not counting that, I'd probably have to go with Stardew Valley.

Like what else?
- Idle Formulas
- Kittens Game
- untitled shark game, if you are stuck on which one to play I recommend at least starting with the original (bottom choice)
- PokéClicker
- Advent Incremental, I had more fun doing this around Christmas time but it is also playable off-season
- The Idle Class, game was probably intended as cynical political commentary on problems with capitalism, but my oversensitive "dammit yes I agree with you but I want to enjoy a game without dooming about the world" self was able to play just fine without getting sad or angry or hopeless
- Fundamental
- A-Z Inc
- Swarm Simulator
Lots more I cannot remember off the top of my head
super meat boy
Tactical Breach Wizards
The whole defenestration trilogy is amazing
Yep, agree. Heat Signature was also fun, but getting rather repetitive.
Most of my picks have been mentioned already, but I had a blast with Mullet Madjack. A tongue in cheek riff on 80s anime in a boomer shooter where you have 10 seconds to live, but each enemy kill gives you 2 more seconds of life.
I really like Isle Wars and Scorched Earth
