The indie game boom started a few console generations ago and has only gotten bigger over time. What were initially cool, experimental niche games have evolved to be some of the best PS5 games you can play. They have come so far that using the term indie game as a genre doesn’t feel appropriate now that they can take the form of anything from Metroidvanias and Roguelikes, to FPS games and RPGs. They can also be made by small teams, or even made by a one person. The PS5 is home to almost every indie game you could ever want, which is both a blessing and a curse. Sadly, not all indie games are worth your time and money. If you want to know which indie games pass our quality tests for the best of the best, we’ve collected the top indie games right here.
