While most people were chatting about Clair Obscur, Hollow Knight, Hades, Blue Prince and all the other massive indie game wins in 2025, a huge number of genuinely excellent games quietly slipped past almost everyone. Games like The Last Caretaker, Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist, Absolum, Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream, Tormented Souls 2, Routine, Total Chaos, and Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel all released this year, all with very positive review scores, yet barely anyone actually played them according to Steam peak player counts. These are the indie games you shouldn’t have slept on in 2025, the smaller releases that flew under everyones radar. The indie games that should have had way more attention, but were missed by almost everyone.
