Dwarf Fortress.
Not just best indie game, but best game period.
If DF never existed, we would've missed out on so many amazing games it directly and indirectly inspired.
Still haven't played it, seems like too much homework just to get started.
The Steam version makes 90% of the learning curve (learning the UI) disappear because it is so, so much better than the legacy version lol
The game itself is really rather straightforward and easy to figure out. It was always the presentation and layout of the UI and hotkeys that made it a challenge to actually start playing since you could know what you needed to do, but not know how to reach the command for it.
Try keeperRL, DF lite.
Dwarf Fortress is a very good game.
