Five truly outstanding indie games

One of the best Steam bundles I’ve seen in years offers five outstanding indie games together in one package, and it’s nearly half-price during the Steam Spring Sale.
Normally, this would be a staggering Steam bundle, one that I wouldn’t have a second’s hesitation recommending. Thanks to the ongoing Steam Spring Sale though, which began yesterday, March 14, the bundle is down by a whopping 47%, which makes it just £37.85, or $45.94.
More recently, we wrote about howA Highland Song is its own kind of ‘map game’- one that asks you to fully understand and master its unique world. We’ve also previously highlightedThe Wreck as exploring an impactful story about processing trauma.
All these games are bundled together because, as the bundle’s title suggests, they’ve all been nominated for the ‘Excellence in Narrative’ category at theIndependent Games FestivalAwards, which take place next week on March 20. Curiously, one game that’s also been nominated is conspicuously absent from the list - 1000xRESIST, a dark third-person cyberpunk adventure.
If you’re keen on trying some of these bangers before you buy, then I’ve got good news. There are Steam demos available for The Wreck and 1000xRESIST.
