Indie MMOs have an incredibly important role to play in the MMO gaming sphere. Whether pushing the boundaries of gameplay loops, offering more accessible options or playing with experimental mechanics, indie MMOs offer a treasure trove of hidden gems that can often influence bigger fish to create the next big phenomenon. That is, of course, if they don’t claim that territory themselves. Looking at you, Among Us.

That's why we believe it's important to highlight independent efforts to create innovative and often genius passion projects. Because, as indie game websites like itch.io, or the ‘Indie’ genre on Steam, demonstrate, rifling through these indie titles can be a somewhat monumental task.
