You actually expect people to go look up whether the games have been kickstarted or not? Your distinction doesn't bring any meaningful difference for the actual games.

Does Bloodstained count?

• Bloodstained
• Disco Elysium

Hades - I love this game. The gameplay, progression, builds and witty writing are a joy.

Inside - the right puzzle challenge level for my tastes, and a creepy vibe throughout

hotline Miami - I enjoyed this a lot back in the day, weird story, satisfying gameplay, and dope music.

an honourable mention to Hollow Knight, i enjoyed it a lot it just got too hard for me. May play on god mode some day.

I still have bastion, stardew valley and soma that I own and intend to play through. Witness too. Also will buy disco Elysium at some point.

going. To try out procession to Calvary on game pass that just got added as I’m not feeling the avengers at all.

I can't decide on the three favorite indie games, but three indie games that I think are superb are:

Underrail
The exploration is great. There's a huge subterrainian world to explore. The turn-based combat is really fun, and the build vareity is great.

TROUBLESHOOTER: Abandoned Children
A very fun turn-based, tactical rpg. Fun combat, large maps, and solid build vareity. The game is amazing but hasn't sold gangbusters.

Salt and Sanctuary
A really fun combination of metroidvania and soulslike in 2D. I had a blast with this game.

These three studios were and still are independent. Not owned by anyone, and no crowdfunding campaigns.
