I didn't put Owlcat's games on this list because they are surpassing the indie status. They are publishing games from other studios nowdays. But their upcoming games are the top on my wishlist (Dark Heresy and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn).
This one is very close to the top. The first game was pretty great and the sequel looks like an improvement in every aspect and I can finally play with Necrons, one of my tabletop armies  :

The Little Nightmares spiritual sequel we deserve:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2129530/REANIMAL/
Dead Space reloaded:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2101960/Cronos_The_New_Dawn/
The Souls-like Hack&Slash I didn't think I needed:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1371980/No_Rest_for_the_Wicked/
Looks great and I'm interested in trying it despite not playing the first one.

It's about time Harebrained releases something great again:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3141390/GRAFT/
Many years ago I backed The Mandate because it sounded like my dream space game. The Mandate was never finished, I hope this one won't share the same fate:

Patiently waiting...
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1030300/Hollow_Knight_Silksong/
This is made by ex-Rainbow Six developers. The gunplay is unmatched. They will never have the budget or the tech to modernize this, but I don't care.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/16900/GROUND_BRANCH/
Shock-esque gameplay is one of my favorites:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1260940/Core_Decay/
More of that crazy please:

Resident Evil with an interesting camera swapping gameplay:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2235430/Holstin/
The people behind Hell Let Loose making their own Hunt: Showdown.

Dark Messiah vibes

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3016620/Alkahest/
It's weirdly intriguing.

Disco Elysium vibes

Frogwares stunt with signed shells by Ukrainian soldiers was disgusting, but Lovecraft...
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2825860/The_Sinking_City_2/
This photorealistic style of body camera gameplay could have a future:

Tactical goodness

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3470850/Void_Martyrs/
Darkwood of Tarkov:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3373500/Scavland/
Hopefully not another scam.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1757350/ILL/
More Lovecraft! I already own Stygian and this RE-style Loveacraftian game deserves more attention.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2362260/Decadent/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2760560/Cthulhu_The_Cosmic_Abyss/
Owlcat is eyeing interesting isometric RPGs.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1173980/Shadow_of_the_Road/
This RPG just looks magical.

The jungles of Tarkov
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2479810/Gray_Zone_Warfare/
I love milsims, patiently waiting for these to be finished:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1548850/Six_Days_in_Fallujah/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1030780/Afterconflict/
Hopefully not another generic Souls-like

They had me at charging cavalry and trebuchets:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/108600/Project_Zomboid/
The original concept was far more intriguing, but it's pretty satisfying nonetheless. I would take this any day over the DOOM: The Dark Ages.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1769830/As_We_Descend/
Purple Automata
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2106730/Phantom_Hellcat/
A cool display of medieval warfare that will most likely devolve into some weird meta gameplay that won't have anything to do with its presentation, like most MMOs:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1373910/Anvil_Empires/
Always looking for the next great RTT, even though Broken Arrow has everything I want:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2566700/The_Last_General/
Tank & Rifle
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1860510/Total_Conflict_Resistance/
Star Citizen on 1>% budget:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1757300/Jump_Ship/
Probably a scam given they postponed this for years to release questionable games instead. But one can only hope.

Great thread, will be checking it out regularly if it stays alive. I think the only one not mentioned in my list is Starsector
https://fractalsoftworks.com/
Ticks all the right boxes for me, only 2 reasons for not having played it yet being that I only play on steam deck nowadays, and this one can't be further away from being controller friendly :/

I have this on my wishlist, but I don't know if we can call it an indie with Deep Silver publishing it.

Lead a strike force against an alien threat in this turn-based tactical RPG from the developers of Battle Brothers. Answer distress calls across different worlds, train and equip infantry, deploy tanks and mechs, and plan and execute missions in detailed turn-based battles.

the importance wasnt really that it had to be an indie, but something we might have missed.
