Looking for the best indie games? As we step into the new year, let's take a look at a few of the indie games in 2020 has in store for us.
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.
Good list. Two games not on this list that are my most anticipated are Sports Story and Twelve Minutes.
A lot more could be added to the list. My most anticipated ones:
Eastward
Hollow Knight : Silksong
Somerville
Radio the Universe
Sable
Witchfire
The Last Night
Paradise Lost : First Contact
