If you haven’t already, you should check out hollow knight or Celeste

Ctrl+F “Tunic”: 0 results. What?

Tunic came on Game Pass, later to Switch, and at first look it seems to be “Indie Zelda imitation 15”. When actually playing it, it ends up functioning a bit like Dark Souls; very low-explanation exploration, some tough combat, and some really cool secrets. It was my Game of the Year, in a year when Elden Ring released.

I love puzzle games so mostly play those.

(these are all on Swich)

• Baba is You
• Pipe Push Paradise
• Cosmic Express
• A Monster’s Expedition
• Hue is a great puzzle platformer

A recent non-puzzle game I’ve been playing is Killer Frequency - you are a radio DJ who has to prevent murders of people who call in to your show, and it’s set in the 80s.

CrossCode is an absolute banger if you like a good story and are interested in combat RPGs. It also has a demo that works in the browser if you want to check it out before buying.

Give babaisyou a try. It’s a logic puzzler and that’s all I’m going to say about it. Part of the fun is discovering the mechanics and how to break them

Dead Cells and Neon White are two recent favorite for me. I played on PC, but I assume the PlayStation and Switch versions are the same.

Looks like they’re both on sale for PlayStation right now, too.

For Switch I would recommend Golf Story, an exclusive for the platform. It’s a golf RPG similar to the Game Boy Color Mario Golf game where you do silly golf challenges around an island full of weird characters and become a golf champion. The story is funny and the golf mechanics are surprisingly deep too.

Edit: just saw I’m not the first to plug this game. :)

A mix of genres, but some of my favourite Indies include; Gris, Lunark, Golf Story, Death Squared, A Short Hike, Cat’s Quest, Rigid Force Redux, and Coffee Talk. All are on Switch, and many on PlayStation too.

Gold Story is a phenomenal Indie Switch exclusive. You definitely don’t have to enjoy golf to have fun playing it. I highly recommend it.

I usually play multiplayer games more, unspottable, wilmot’s warehouse, and moving out are pretty fun!

Single player, the last one I played was my friend Pedro which was also pretty good!

I’ll plug ‘Salt and Sanctuary’ and ‘Backbone.’ Waiting for the PS5 version for Backbone, but it’s available on Switch.

I haven’t played the Switch port, but I was a big fan of the RPG called Omori. It’s story heavy, so the best way to play imo is to go in blind and ignore any online content about it until at least the first playthrough is done, maybe even a second.

Give cassette beasts a go if you want a pokemon styled game

I am really enjoying apico at the moment, a really cute wholesome game about breeding bees and butterflies, helping to save the species, it’s based on the old forestry mod for minecraft which used to be one of my favourites as well.
