My Favorite Indie Games of 2024

These are the games that stole my time (and heart) this year — from neon racers to cozy garden defenses. Highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t already!

Neon Drift

Addictive, stylish, and fast — like if *Blade Runner* had a racing game. I can’t stop replaying it.

I’m usually not into survival, but co-op space farming and fighting alien storms? I’m hooked.

Retro platforming done right. Tough, fair, and full of charm. This one’s a nostalgic joyride.

Another neon racer, but more arcade-y. Feels like Outrun on caffeine.
