    Some of indie gamesare really good and I also recommend these for the switch too Stardew Valley, Blasphemous, Black Bird, Dex, Gunman Clive, Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 1 and 2, Blaster Master trilogy, and River City girls. That's just my recommendation
  • Phenomenal list and SEA OF STARS so well deserved, also supergiant is my favorite indie dev so much love there. I would add Ender Lillies, Fuga Melodies of Steel, Ara Fell, Darkest Dungeon, Dredge, Slay the Spire, and Curse of the Dead Gods myself!
  • @ZBatt1
    Gotta love the support for Indie devs here and a great list of games if the backlog wasn’t so long 😭😂
  • @JFabree
    ‘Baba Is You’ is probably one of my favorite indies aside from Ori and Hollow Knight. Such a unique fun challenging puzzle experience
  • For me, Blasphemous is right up there with Hollow Knight and Dead Cells as the best indie games on Switch.
  • @Hottpinkbenz
    Great list of games! I have most of these titles and the rest are still on the wish list!
  • @jarkkokangas6150
    Great list, thank you! You made me inspired to once again take up the controller and try to beat Hollow Night. Omg that map system just kills me sometimes. Getting lost in a metrodvania is the worst. My critical feedback is: please, slow down and breathe. :D I often need to catch my breath just by listening to you talk.
  • @NoveGamingReacts
    Have a few, buying a few, forgetting a few.. dope review appreciate it
  • @BrendenKeene
    Great list, I think you nailed it for the most part. I'd probably switch Celeste's spot with Cuphead's but that's just personal preference since I couldn't get into it.
  • @Rage-td9wv
    I like Eastward so far as I just got it. I love the graphics. I also enjoy Gunbrella and Nuclear Blaze.
  • @KadekGadget
    i would add Owl Boy , The Touryst , Cat Quest 1 & 2 , Monster Boy , Grindstone
  • @pollycastle7832
    First time visiting your channel, but the list is solid and your descriptions on point, I'll be looking for more of your content! ^^ thanks for the recommendations!
  • @Agent28Rock
    Love the list. My personal favorite indie is Hades. In my eyes, it's an indie masterpiece. Can't wait for the sequel!!
  • One indie game that was not mentioned here that I seriously enjoyed was Shantae and the Seven Sirens. While I do really like Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, as well as Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero, Shantae and the Seven Sirens is my favorite. It has a lovely 8-bit soundtrack, amazing new characters, awesome boss battles, and some pretty cool areas. The addition of the Director's Cut update added a surprisingly challenging variety of modes. I even have a tradition to replay Shantae and the Seven Sirens every year on June 2nd.
  • @Xenowolf8
    I’m probably the only person here who’s played and beaten it, but Smelter is a phenomenal indie game. Seriously check it out it’s amazing
  • @worldsboss
    Didn't read my comment on the last video regarding the Transistor pronunciation, I see haha
  • Imo, Darkest Dungeon, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Indivisible, Sakuna, Battle Chasers, Ruined King, Fallen Legion and Trine games should be somewhere on this list too.
  • @donny8478
    Some lowkey picks. Inscryption, rain world, and iconoclast.
  • @DS-tj9ts
    Trigger is my goat game as well. I agree with everything you said here. My top 3 is the same as yours as well. Hollow Knight and Chained Echoes were phenomenal, in different ways.
