Didn't catch that, thanks!

RimWorld is really quite good; the guy that made it also wrote a book on game design that I would consider the best text on the subject. He was also targeted by the "journalists" multiple times for various random nonsense, so I don't think he's any ally to them. And, of course, RimWorld is an absolutely fantastic game, the kind that you look up and it's 5AM two days later when you just sat down to play ten minutes...

Hell Let Loose is a realism-focused WWII shooter in early access. Currently, it only has Western Front content, however Eastern Front is a short ways down the pipeline, and they are not closed to adding more down the road. It strikes a good balance between realism and fun, I would say, and the most comparable games might be Squad, Post Scriptum, and others like that. Matches (100% multiplayer) are 100 players in teams of ~50/50; communication is vital (and entertaining), the game is thoroughly immersive, and the maps are painstakingly created off of real locations (for example, Carentan in Normandy). I personally like it a lot; it's the kind of game that's less about winning and more about enjoying it, which is something a lot of FPS games lack, in my opinion. I can't say anything about the based-ness of the devs (or lack thereof), but I will say I didn't see any pro-BLM messages all over the announcements and such like I saw with many triple A games this summer, and they're not afraid to depict WWII (including, though the resolution is too low to FULLY make out, swastikas on equipment where warranted) as per general history, unlike a certain franchise in which you have women with robot arms jumping around and katana slicing people...

Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is a fun game to sit back and goof around with; it's borderline complete and has a lot of fun to be offered. I can't really describe it in a way that does it justice, I'd say just look it up and see what I mean.

Project Wingman is a recently-released arcade-style air combat game, set in a post-Yellowstone world. It is singleplayer only, but it has an excellent campaign and I believe full VR support if that's your kind of thing. Do note, it is arcade style and not flight simulator; it's about fast-paced action combat. I found the plot pretty interesting all around, as the primary enemy is basically the post-apocalyptic world's reformed UN crossed with the Deep State, and you assist a sort of new "American Revolution" in everything but name, more or less. There are also comments about "going against the new world order" and such which make me wonder if the devs are actually super based. Either way, really fun game; it's spiritually an Ace Combat game, if you're familiar with that franchise, and plays very similarly. (I would recommend Ace Combat 7 as well, though it's not really an Indie game)

The Forest is very good and has a sequel coming out soon, Sons of The Forest; it's a bit graphic and fairly sadistic in some senses, though, so if you're not up for what can best be described as "grim" plot (featuring extensive cannibalism, among other things) I'd say pass on that one. It's a well made game, though, and possibly one of the best survival-horror games in terms of making me (and the friend I played it with) repeatedly crap ourselves and such.

Teardown is a fairly recent release, in early access, that is based on what can best be described as a "game-changing" engine; extremely detailed voxel engine in which the entire environment is modeled with decent to good physics and mostly destructible. To feature this engine, the game itself has many gamemodes, though the prominent is a mixture between demolition worker and heist-planner. It has good puzzle aspects, and is incredibly satisfying. Also, that kind of engine has tons of potential, and puts anything being used in Triple A today to absolute shame.

Brick Rigs is a very fun game that can best be described as a "LEGO Simulator"; ever want to make LEGO cars, planes, trains, or space ships (and boats, with mods) and drive them with fairly decent physics? Also, guns, flamethrowers, explosives, servos, and some basic logic programming stuff means you can basically make whatever you want, and to top it off guns have some decent penetration physics and the likes, meaning you can actually make like, tanks and have tank battles with friends. It's pretty good, but development is slow because there is only one developer and he has other jobs/schooling (I can't remember which).

There's others I can give, but that's a pretty good lineup right there, and it's a pretty wide variety offered, too. Let me know what you think (or if you want more suggestions)!
