AWS REWIND - Exploring The Strong National Museum of Play 

The thing about preservation is that there will always be games that are favorites for some that won't make it in to the limited space that a museum may have. While Shovel Knight is AWESOME, as is the Steam World series (Undertale is great, but I could not really get into it), these indie games are meaningful in the subject matter, style, or mechanics they demonstrate. When Rivers Were Trails focuses on the impact of colonization on Indigenous communities in the 1890's, Unpacking has the player exploring the life and story of a character you never see while placing the things that represent their life in a new space, Adulting explores the mundane things that one must accomplish as an adult in modern society vs. a game about the fun/adventures to be had. While the games don't cover the breadth of the indie game scene, their inclusion helps bring more personal/deeper stories to the exhibition. Would love to see the titles you mentioned added as the exhibition evolves!
