2024 was a magnificent year for memorable indie games, with the all-conquering Balatro even securing a nomination for The Game Awards' top honor. But its creator 'LocalThunk' is a big champion of his fellow indies, highlighting other greats including Animal Well, Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers, and the fantastic Arco. The stunning Mesoamerican RPG is a real sleeper hit, with 97% of players recommending it, and its clever tactical combat and beautiful pixel-art design completely won my heart, but it didn't get the attention it deserved. If you missed it, however, you've now got the chance to catch up for cheap as a Steam sale brings Arco to its lowest price yet.
