Hey Steam peeps.
I love XBLA and PSN games and indie games but I'm not familiar with what is good on Steam that is only on Steam
please recommend me some Indie games
I am aging and I am losing my appetite for retail games. I have taken a liking to smaller game. Maybe it's my nostalgic old schoolness that is rejecting 2 hours tutorials or 10 minute cut-scenes.
Hey OP, post your Steam library so we can see what games you already have yeah?
I have some I could recommend if I know what you've already got.
All that aside, The Swapper is one I recently completed and was really fantastic. It was challenging and the story was incredibly interesting.

Yes, you do need to finish it. You might want to keep a box of tissues handy though.

They may not be all steam games but if you want indie, Toma's awesome monthly indie threads are ALWAYS worth a look.
Great community in there.

Here are some of my favourites. I'm not a connoisseur of indie games, so I'm likely missing some great ones and my write ups aren't the best, but I didn't want to just dump a load of names. One of the great ones I'm probably missing, is The Stanley Parable, which I've only just purchased.
Dustforce
If you like beating your own records, check this one. It's a platformer, with an emphasis on momentum and learning the subtleties of the game. It also has probably one of my favourite game soundtracks ever, which I listen to all the time. I really love this game.
Rogue Legacy
A "Rogue Light" according to developers. It's an addictive game, which leaves you always wanting to go one more life and it has a good sense of humour.
They Bleed Pixels
An often overlooked platformer, with a nice style, fantastic music and some interesting mechanics. It's hard as hell, but it's really good.
Lone Survivor
A great Silent Hill game, which does a great deal, with very little. If you have any interest in Survival Horror, I couldn't recommend it any more and it was recently upgraded to the Director's Cut.
FTL
There's no shortage of people ready to explain why this one's so good. I'll just say it's addictive, the music is godly, it'll make you feel like the captain of a space ship and it's addictive as hell.
Hotline Miami
A brutal top down action game, dripping in style, which also requires you to come up with interesting strategies. The music is godly. I've completed it on the PC, PS3 and Vita and it's one of my favourites from last year.

This, this, this and this! Serious bro fist to you. Fortune Summoners is my favorite 2D platformer in a long time. I love this game. People will tell you the controls are bad, but I just never found this to be the case. In fact, it has a more detailed combat system than most similar games. It's a lot of fun, has a good 25+ hours of gameplay and the graphics are gorgeous. I swore if I ever become wealthy, I'd throw tons of money at MEL of Lizsoft to make a sequel.

* Path Of Exile - great ARPG with huge amounts of depth [free]
* FTL - rouge-like elements applied to a starship commend style game
* Risk of Rain (not actually played this, but it looks awesome and is now on my christmas list)
* Sword of the Stars: The Pit - a turn based scifi rogue-like (closer to rogue than FTL)
* Realm of the Mad God - sort of an MMO shooter, but hard to describe [free]
* Terraria - build stuff in a kind of 2d platform version of minecraft

No recommendations for botanicula?
Probably one of the most delightful games I have ever played.
Also dustforce is quality platforming. One of the best out there.
