We're putting together a collection of our favorite indie games on itch.io
Looking for the best itch.io games? We're here to help.
Since it opened in 2013, itch.io has become an incredible resource for indie games. It's not the only place they're available—shoutout to Game Jolt, RIP IndieGameStand—but it's an essential bookmark if you're looking for games that are innovative or just plain weird.
Games you can get on itch are among our favorites, like Anatomy (which recently made our list of great indie horror games) and Oikospiel (number 14 on our list of the best indie games to play right now). It's also a frequent source of entries in our free games of the week round-up.
So now we're putting together a collection of the best itch.io games that aren't also available on Steam (yet). There are 52 games on the list already and we'll be adding more as we cover them on PC Gamer Indie. Feel free to suggest even more in the comments.
I hope you find something you like!

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
