Dredge is one of the best Indie games ever released, and its developer Black Salt Games will be hard-pressed to live up to its legacy in future, making Drdge's phenomenal success both a blessing and a curse for the developer.

The Pale Beyond's stunning visuals and engaging narrative feel wasted on a game with such an unrewarding gameplay loop and unintuitive UI.
Titanium Hound could have been a good game, but the developer's assistance on uniquely bad mechanics makes it impossible for me to recommend it to anyone, let alone fans of the genre.
Scarlet Tower is a decent attempt at cashing on the success of Vampire Survivors; however, that isn't necessarily bad if said title improves upon the formula; unfortunately, in the case of Scarlet Tower, it does not.
