The Underrated Powerhouse: Why Simulation Indie Gems Deserve More Buzz

- Narrative depth that rivals RPGS
- Unexpected philosophical undertones

- Tropico (but if you played on potato graphics – kudos)
- A Short Hike – who says exploration doesn’t come in quiet hikes and emotional reveals?
- Raft – when stranded on ocean water isn't terrifying… till you meet piranha clouds. Yes, that’s an actual thing.
