What are some of your favorite content creators that highlight small indie games? Can be big or small, I’m just looking to find some lesser known games for a change.

Edit: I’m checking all of these out, thanks everyone!

To some degree I think you would like “Let’s Game It Out”. He almost exclusively plays indie and early access games… he breaks them, yes, but that’s where the fun is at.

Playframe doesn’t exclusively highlight small indie games, but they do cover a fair number of them alongside various bigger games.

Although, I guess it depends on how unknown a game has to be to “count” as “lesser-known”; I’ve certainly been introduced to games by Playframe, but, it’s not like they’re going onto Steam Roulette or anything.

Some examples of games that I personally hadn’t heard of until they showed up on Playframe include “Worldless”, “Cursed to Golf”, “Frog Detective”, “Say No! More!”, etc. I don’t think any of those are, like, deeply obscure or anything, but, they’re “smaller” indie games in my book.

Also, they’re just really rad people.

I don’t really know what qualifies either tbh, but it’s just easy to only hear about the big stuff coming out. Thanks for the recommendation!
