You should not download new & shiny stuff here. Itch is infested with malware. On any given day there are dozens of new uploaded malware projects. There is always a time frame for the malware to be visible and unquarantined. Longest I saw was two years. Several over half a year. And a lot with several weeks.

Stick to browser games and pages with a lot of followers (1000+) plus comments.

If you want to see "good" and "bad" games, select a metric and look at the top and bottom end. Though the bottom end might just be obscure and not bad.

Itch has a lot of tags. You can write in any tag you like. You are not restricted to the suggestion list. So if you are interested in games about a certain topic, just try, if some people use it as a tag.

Some jams have interesting games, as those are as indie as it gets. https://itch.io/jams/past

Thanks for the advice. I never heard of Jam stuff. Even if my account was made years ago, I'm still new to knowing how this site works. I was always confused why I'd get viruses. Why would people upload viruses on this site?

Is that a serious question? Those people are criminals. That's what they do all day long.

I suspect, it is a side gig of people like this https://www.trtworld.com/article/23e1fe1c3220
