Indie of the Year

Back for an amazing 13th time, welcome to the 2022 Indie of the Year Awards, a celebration of the year's finest indie games chosen by you and our team at IndieDB.

Last year saw the hauntingly beautiful Chernobylite take first place for player's choice, with mod-turned-commercial success story Hedon: Bloodrite nabbing second and another modder success story The Forgotten City placing third. If you want a look at how the rest of the placing went in 2021, check out the rest of player's choice for released and upcoming, as well as the editor's picks for 2021.

The time is now to start hitting the vote button for your favorite indies, so they may make it into coveted Top 100. Help hard working game developers feel the love and soon we will announce the 2022 Indie of the Year. Good luck everyone and may the best indie win!
