I think Indie games are a good way for small groups of developers to show a community what they are capable of. Especially with what little they may have to create a game. Plus, its also a good way to let players test out their game before the finish product comes out.

I personally like survival, action, and horror as well. Nothing is better than surviving with your friend(s) in a apocalyptic setting, or getting jump scared while going through a horror game either alone or with your friend(s).

I like indie games for their creativity as they're not usually made by a huge company that create the same games over and over because they're to afraid to branch out.

Not really sure what genres I like. I guess adventure and open world.
