How many of Nintendo Switch’s ‘best-selling indie games of 2020’ did you play? [Destructoid]
Here’s the list of games, in order of appearance:
Hades
Streets of Rage 4
Spiritfarer
Moving Out
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Carrion
What the Golf?
Shantae and the Seven Sirens
Super Mega Baseball 3
Superliminal
The Jackbox Party Pack 7
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition
CrossCode
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2
Neon Abyss
We could get into which of these games are truly “indie” in spirit, but they’re all keepers.
I left Spiritfarer hanging somewhere in the middle of the story, and I still feel bad about it. (Don’t worry, I’m planning to return.) Of the stuff I haven’t checked out yet but am open to playing, the mind-bending puzzles of Superliminal and the soothing ARPG vibes of CrossCode are speaking to me the most.
Otherwise, there’s a little bit of everything on this list – Castlevania-style platforming, calm rice farming, party-game hijinks, a goofy sports game and a comparatively serious one, and the untouchable Hades.
I’m a little surprised to see A Short Hike and Manifold Garden miss the cutoff. Anything else?
