Indie of the Year

Back for an awesome 12th time, welcome to the 2021 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 toys-come-to-life HYPERCHARGE: UNBOXED take first place for player's choice, with mining-and-building sandbox Hydroneer nabbing second and the gory dark fantasy ARPG She Will Punish Them placing third. If you want to see the full players choice and editor's choice from 2020, look no further

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 2021 Indie of the Year. Good luck everyone!
