The 5 Must Own Nindies on the Switch - With so many games and so many new Switch owners, it's necessary to break-down the 5 must-own nindies on the system.
More than 40 indie games were highlighted ranging from cute and cozy to terrifying and more.
Play as Dik, a nimble acrobat exploring the depths of Hell to rescue his brother from the Devil’s hands. With no weapons to rely on, success hinges on mastery of physics-driven movement, and quick adaptation to deadly obstacles.
There's a peaceful, melancholic beauty about Miniatures. Hand drawn and featuring unique interactive mechanics, Other Tales Interactive's collection of short narrative games asks the player to look back on difficult childhood memories, each blanketed by a layer of magical thinking.
It's hard to call a game that confronts such sensitive themes "fun," necessarily. Therapeutic, trancelike – those are more fitting descriptors. Playing through each of the four vignettes feels a lot like stepping back in time, into shoes far smaller than mine, adopting a perspective on the world that paints over all its cruelties with an unbridled imagination. Miniatures is both cozy and troubling in that regard – albeit deeply cathartic.
Nindies sounds so pretentious and unnecessary.What's next, Mindies and Sindies?
Phantom Doctrine is a good unique indie on Switch.
1 Stardew valley = WTF. Why would anyone play a video game to do tedious chores on a farm?
2 Dead cells = Amazing game
3 Golf story = On my wishlist
4 Celeste = Excellent game
5 Overcooked 2 = WTF. Why would anyone play a video game to do tedious chores in a restaurant?
LOOOL
Swap out 1 and 5 for Cadence of Hyrule and Hollow Knight. Then we're talking.
