Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I'll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it's a hidden gem tbh, but it's such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.

Blasphemous.

Fantastic metroidvania meets soulslike game. The art style, the lore, the atmosphere, and by God - the music!

The combat is not super great, but it's capable enough for a metroidvania.

I haven't played the second one, I hear it's kinda hit and miss.

You know that the art is based on Holy Week in Andalucia?

As far as I know, a ton of stuff in the game is based on Spanish folklore etc as well.

The first one also meh at releast until several patches later. The second one is on the easier side as the penitent one is now more agile.
