This is a free game made by students. Even if it's a little rough around this edges, it's worth exploring. Plus, I like the aesthetic -- it reminds me of an old Mac game named Bugdom. There's gamepad support. Not much in the way of features, but again, this is free.

This is a re-release of Shounen Ninja Sasuke, a SNES game that was developed by Sunsoft. I realize that this is the first official Western release, but they really should have kept to the original name so that fans of the original could find this game more easily.

This has full gamepad support with Xbox and DualShock controllers. Couch co-op is also available.

I kind of wish CRT filters were available, but at least the 4:3 aspect ratio is preserved.

Also, this has an introductory price of C$6.23, so at least it's cheap.

A free game made by a solo indie developer. This is basically a Sokoban-style puzzler. Its aesthetic is minimal yet attractive. Also compatible with Mac.

This is a free PvP. No in-app purchases, no DLC, no "seasons".

And on top of that, it's got a charming anime style.

In terms of features, this is rather sparse. But again, it's free and also fun.

What makes them not random is that I find them interesting. That is, I think they're worth talking about.

Some of them I have played personally, even if just for a few seconds. Others, I played the demo. And yet others, I have wishlisted and may buy later.

I currently have 6,881 games in my Steam account, so believe me, I play a lot of games.

If your "point" is that we should not give space to indie games because there's lots of them, you're mistaken. And if you don't like indie games, even though PC gaming is mostly about indie gaming, block me and move on. I don't give a damn about your "feed".

Thanks for the correction. Sometimes it's hard to tell these companies apart, their products are so similar.

Nope, not a bot. You've spoken to me a few times.

These are not "random" but games I think deserve attention.

Do you realize 20K games were released on Steam last year but few of them were ever noticed?

2K's latest AAA title. Both online and couch PvP. And there's online co-op too. This also has full gamepad support with Xbox and Dual Shock controllers.

At C$89.99, this is super expensive -- so the in-app purchases are beyond ridiculous. And I can't believe all the DLC is C$107.46. But at least there's a demo available.

Looks like a fun puzzle game with a unique premise and aesthetic. It also has full gamepad support. Only one review right now, but a demo is available. Currently priced at C$12.99.

New low poly visuals. The music also seems quite nice. This whole game was made by one solo indie developer. No reviews yet, but a demo is available to play. With an introductory price of C$16.19, this is slightly expensive for what it is. However, if you like the demo, it's worth checking out.

A beat-'em-up starring stick figures. No features, and no reviews yet. There is a demo available, though.

A 2D game with pixel art graphics reminiscent of 8-bit computer games. Gamepad is required -- can't play this with a keyboard. There's a couch co-op mode. Not many reviews on this but there's a demo available, and the dev currently has a live broadcast going on. With an introductory price of C$5.19, it's quite inexpensive.
