Team17 has built a truly impressive portfolio of indie games. They’re a publisher that loves to push boundaries and support titles that experiment with new ideas and genre combinations, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s always interesting. With that in mind, let’s dive into their catalog and highlight the top 10 indie games they’ve published.

DREDGE

Since its release on March 30, 2023, for PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox, Dredge has become a dominant force in the singleplayer fishing genre. Its success comes from a perfect combination of a relaxing fishing adventure with a sinister, Lovecraftian mystery. The game later expanded its reach to iOS, Android, and macOS on February 27, 2025.

Developed by Black Salt Games, players captain a fishing trawler in the remote archipelago of The Marrows, catching over 125 unique fish and salvaging treasures by day, while night brings rising panic, hallucinations, and encounters with sea monsters like the Leviathan. You can also upgrade your boat to access deeper trenches and secluded areas.

Blasphemous & Blasphemous 2

Developed by The Game Kitchen, Blasphemous (2019) and Blasphemous 2 (2023) are two of the best iterations of the Metroidvania genre. They perfectly blend action-platforming with soulslike elements, all set within the nightmarish, gothic world of Cvstodia, a place defined by its brutal combat and unique religious iconography.

You play as the Penitent One, wielding different weapons. Precise parries, dodges, and combos are essential against grotesque enemies and bosses. Additionally, Cvstodia’s interconnected world encourages exploration, with hidden secrets, relics, and collectibles that unlock new abilities or lore. The nonlinear map, though sometimes hard to navigate, rewards backtracking with abilities like wall-climbing.

Overcooked! 2

Overcooked! 2, which was developed by Ghost Town Games, is a chaotic co-op cooking simulation game released on August 7, 2018 for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X/S, and macOS, with a mobile version via Netflix Games in 2023.

In this game, up to four players work together as chefs to prepare, cook, and serve dishes under tight time limits in absurdly chaotic kitchens. Levels feature dynamic hazards like moving platforms, portals, or fires, requiring teamwork and quick thinking. Building on the original, Overcooked! 2 introduces online multiplayer, allowing friends or random players to join via matchmaking, a significant upgrade from the first game’s couch-only co-op.

Golf With Your Friends

Golf With Your Friends is a chaotic multiplayer mini-golf game released on May 19, 2020, for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with a sequel planned for Early Access in 2025. It supports up to 12 players in simultaneous online or local couch co-op. Unlike turn-based golf games, all players putt at once, leading to unpredictable moments as balls collide or power-ups like honey traps and cube transformations disrupt play.

The game features 13 unique 18-hole courses (234 holes total), ranging from Candyland or Pirate Cove to Worms-themed and Haunted ones. Each course introduces distinct mechanics, like portals or moving platforms, keeping gameplay varied and engaging. Beyond Classic mode, players can enjoy Dunk (basketball-style holes) and Hockey (puck-based goals).

Hell Let Loose

Hell Let Loose, developed by Expression Games and Cover 6 Studios (formerly Black Matter), is a hardcore multiplayer tactical first-person shooter released on July 27, 2021, for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions launched on October 5, 2021. It delivers 50v50 combined-arms warfare across 17 historically inspired maps, including Omaha Beach, Stalingrad, and El Alamein, recreated using satellite imagery and archival photography.

The game emphasizes communication and coordination, with three game modes such as Warfare, Offensive, and Skirmish requiring strategic teamwork to capture sectors. You choose from 14 roles (Officer, Medic, Tank Commander) across infantry, armored, and recon squads, each with unique weapons and responsibilities. Voice channels (leadership, unit, proximity) and a ping system foster collaboration, making every match feel like a coordinated military operation.

Date Everything!

I know what you’re thinking: “That sounds strange.” And you’d be right. Date Everything! is a unique and rather weird game, but it’s found its niche. Released on June 17, 2025 for PC and all major consoles, this sandbox dating simulator offers a wildly creative twist on the genre. Players use magical “Dateviator” glasses to turn over 100 household objects into dateable characters.

Each character has three potential endings (Love, Friendship, Hate), driven by branching dialogue and a SPECS stat system (Smarts, Passion, Empathy, Charm, Strength). This sandbox approach, set in a single suburban home, allows you to explore and date in any order, blending humor and romance. Boasting over 70,000 voice lines and a cast of 100+ renowned actors, the game delivers exceptional performances in this department.

Trepang2

Trepang2 is a gory, action-packed first-person shooter released on June 21, 2023 for PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S ports on October 2, 2023. It’s actually a spiritual successor to 2005’s F.E.A.R., delivering fast-paced, brutal gunplay with bullet-time mechanics that let players slow down time to dodge bullets and chain devastating combos.

The game revels in over-the-top violence, with dismemberment, blood splatters, and environmental destruction. Weapons like pistols, SMGs, shotguns, and the Bladekisser DLC’s sword offer varied combat styles, from stealthy neck-snaps to all-out chaos. Horde mode and combat simulator levels add replayable wave-based challenges, appealing to fans of Doom Eternal’s high-octane action.

Worms Armageddon

Worms Armageddon is a classic turn-based strategy game released on May 31, 1999, for PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy Color, with ongoing support through patches as recent as 2020. It’s also now available on Steam. In this game you play as teams of customizable worms against each other in 2D destructible landscapes, using an arsenal of absurd weapons like bazookas, homing missiles, and the iconic Holy Hand Grenade.

Its turn-based gameplay, with a time limit per move, blends strategy with slapstick humor, requiring you to master terrain navigation, wind physics, and precise aiming. Worms Armageddon shines in multiplayer, with local hot-seat or online modes (via Steam or fan-hosted servers) supporting team battles, deathmatches, or custom scenarios.

Nice Day for Fishing

Nice Day for Fishing, developed by FusionPlay in collaboration with Viva La Dirt League, is a pixel-art adventure RPG released on May 29, 2025 for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S. This title transforms fishing into a dynamic RPG combat system, where players control Baelin, a humble fisherman-turned-hero, battling enemies like fish, sea monsters, and bosses with a fishing rod.

The real-time mechanics involve casting, reeling to deal damage, releasing to avoid attacks, and using spells for combos, creating a surprisingly deep and engaging loop. Based on Viva La Dirt League’s Epic NPC Man, the game follows Baelin, you will explore Azerim’s interconnected islands completing quests, fishing, and dredging materials to rebuild Honeywood.

Heroes of Hammerwatch II

Developer Crackshell released in January of this year Heroes of Hammerwatch II for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) and consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch). A sequel to the 2018 Heroes of Hammerwatch, it builds on its predecessor’s addictive RPG formula with new features. In this game players battle through procedurally generated dungeons in the Dark Citadel, collecting loot and facing permadeath.

You can also choose from seven unique classes (Warrior, Paladin, Ranger, Wizard, with Rogue, Warlock, and Sorcerer unlockable), each with three specializations that introduce distinct abilities and passives. Between runs, players upgrade a central town hub, unlocking NPCs like blacksmiths or enchanters that provide permanent buffs, gear enhancements, or run modifiers.
