Oh boy, more of Steam's shovelware crap comes to the Switch. Maybe 10% of which are even any good.

So exactly like AAA releases, then?

Lol, I suppose so. It seems like only a few good idnie titles ever get a cult following, like Freedom Planet, Castle Crashers, Cuphead, Super Meat Boy, World of Goo, etc. Those are AAA indie titles in my opinion.

I'd say we definitely get way more worthwhile indie releases each year than AAA, but that's consistent with the 10% rule regardless, due to the quantity and shorter development cycles of indie games.

In 2020 alone we got:

TemTem
Skul the Hero Slayer
Curse of the Dead Gods
Exit the Gungeon
One Step From Eden
Jet Lancer
Monster Train
Gunfire Reborn
Griftlands
Carrion
Fae Tactics
Risk of Rain 2
Rogue Legacy 2
Ziggurat 2
Hades
Noita
Star Renegades
Pumpkin Jack

And those are just all the good ones that ended up in my Steam library. By comparison, there were only three or four AAA games worth picking up this year, even including next-gen titles.

I do need some more co-op game to play with family. Tbh, no one in my family interest with AAA game except me to begin with.

Would be happy to see Ooblets announced for Switch and get a release window for Mineko's Night Market

Silksong when

Does Sega count as an indie if they are making no profit? If so, I am excited.

MagnesG · Dec 15, 2020

Just play anything that interest you. With that said those who slash off games from their radar just because they're indies will miss out big time.

There are good and bad ones, all the same.

Nexomon Extinction is generally liked.

Yeah that actually seems to be the best "Pokemon-like" released this year, and there were quite a few. Monster Sanctuary looks great too, but that seems to be more a metroidvania with some Pokemonesque elements.
