The Switch really is becoming the home for indie games. Here’s an alphabetical round-up of what I consider the best Nindies.
Some I’ve played on Switch, some I’ve played on other platforms, some are critically acclaimed, and some are unreleased, but hopefully you’ll find some gems here to add to your Watch List on this awesome little console.
Of course, this is all just my opinion, so let me know your thoughts on this list.
