The BEST Indie Games of 2020 So Far

While the rest of the year offers so many promises, that with the arrival of the next generations of 2020 consoles so far it has been an incredible year for new independent game releases with that in mind, we have reduced all of these to our top 10 plays in all the fronts of your favorite stores and in this video we count them from 10 to number one with your favorite game of the year so far.

Make the cut. Let's take a look released in late January. It is a relaxed visual novel while playing as an Arista cafeteria or within an alternative reality block of the sea where humans and mythical creatures live together in an uncomfortable coexistence in their hearts, the café is a visual novel and apart from the sections where The task of gathering customer orders is essentially a passive experience where you can relax and enjoy the story as it unfolds, aim high and I mean really high within the three and a half hours it takes to fill it.

. It covers a wide range of topics, social anxiety, depression, triple a game developer, alcoholism, police brutality, and many more social issues, and while they all have their own depth and possible narrative directions, the conversation about the Brown just brushes the surface with the lack of saying that the lens looks like an analysis and the narration seen in the newspapers please not tonight or mute Sione who sounds too negative where coffee talks positively shines on his characters you know and how the art style and sound all blend so beautifully together from the muffled sound of the Rain falling outside to sultry jazz playing on Animations, especially facial expressions, are unlikely to be better all year round, and aside from their glitches, it's something that fans of visual novels are likely to enjoy a coffee chat about.

It's available for pc and all the usual consoles at number nine a step away from Eden came out in late march for pc on the switch and it's a mix of several different genres and while we're in a totally honest frame of mind none of us here to get indie games is particularly good at what he says is still a super fun game where there are so many things going on in any Any moment that can seem overwhelming and brilliant at the same time as killing the needle is one of the influences of the megaman ba The network where the combat here takes place in a four by eight grid that is divided between you and your enemy while It starts with the character fighting in the game, see that more items added to the list also give you additional outfits and accessories as soon as The combat is very very fast with the need to juggle and pay close attention to what is happening all the time while managing your deck of cards.

We have really lagged behind with the build elements of this deck and they are very well implemented, but be aware that it is a difficult experience that could also be a lot for some in number 8, cloud punk offers and firmly meets all the Usual, let's call them formulas from such games within a knife racer style, we have the images with the neon which is the expansive cityscape and of course the floating cars and dotted signage around the buildings, although there are welcome differences here, Unlike the most common protagonist in such cloud punk games, you play the role of a humble delivery driver named Rania, a newcomer and immigrant to town on his first night working for the head of a semi-delivery company.

Legal, you receive your work via radio with you and have the pickup and delivery addresses that you are asked to resolve under two rules. So simple that you never miss a delivery and never ask what's in the packs, you're essentially free to play this one, how you feel like you can bend the rules or throw them all the way down while letting yourself be engulfed in other people's stories with their great fun.

Trying to be nosy When you meet new people and interact with them above all else, how beautiful the city is with being such a great treat just to get out and explore it, it's easy to just explore the place and I found it to be a genuine source of relaxation at the end of the day.

Cloud punk is currently available for Steam, perhaps with the launch of a console. sometime in the future towards a future where crime rules the streets when citizens are in trouble, they call the authorities when the authorities are in trouble, they call the bounty hunters the next number 7 we have hunted, which only came out a few days Since this video is broadcast now, it gives us so many fangs and feelings of the days of the late 80s and early 90s.

We spent a Saturday afternoon in the game room with a bag full of coins. It was the highlight of the week on the hunt. you are a bounty hunter in a super retro action comedy shooting game that you can play alone or cooperatively with another person or in graffiti inspired cities scattered throughout the 1980s, the graphics are hand painted and with them looking to recreate Ooks from the 16-bit era, although in this case the animations are super smooth and come out at 60 frames per second, looking so beautiful, surely there are many others who have also done this and maybe there is nothing too outstanding.

In terms of this push game or genre forward, although right now we really don't care about this, along with Streets of Rage 4 it's been quite a revelation, the hunt is done through the epic game store where it has a one-year exclusive, it's also on Switch PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at number six and by the end of April moving in has become our number one cooperative couch game of the current generation with the over cook series being relegated to the Second position, as we said in our full review, where you can find a link in the video description or by following the card on the screen, now it is the limitless beauty within the chaos that this game can bring which places it on top from the kitchen like in the real world kitchens if you play and stay at your station, you can usually make a decent meal although here there is none of that and although you can try to coordinate and move around calling them Foreman, l The gameplay doesn't tend to allow that kind of rigor, it's too easy for everyone to go out and do their thing.

One thing and doing it, but as I said before, everything becomes disorganized chaos, moving is glorious, it is the perfection of the sofa cooperative and it is a must-have game for anyone who loves the genre and can be obtained through the PC and all the usual consoles below.

Number five and while cursing the day the gods is only in early access, this roguelike isometric dungeon tracker is a top-notch experience and the best of its kind year-round so far, while featuring the normal fighting elements and the generation of procedures you'll see on any typical garden dungeon tracker, and yet here at the curse of the dead gods we have certain other things that really push it forward, we particularly like the ability to collect mystical relics together with a wide variety of weaponry, although with each execution something called corruption infiltrates you and you can either adopt these powers or ignore them entirely, the choice here is yours to take this early access launch containing about a third of the final content and if you usually leave out these early access games because you think they are not complete, we are thinking that There may be no better example of early access made in all of 2020 than the number 4 in other waters found underwater on an alien planet with the characteristic of a non-biologist named Ellery vas who, among other things, is in the ocean looking to find his missing research partner on a spin, avoiding the convention More often than not you're playing as the central protagonist but as his assistant and auxiliary controller guide with you being an AI installed inside a diving suit, Ellery makes it smooth to navigate around the ocean from a visual perspective, everything is certainly eye-catching with a minimal but vibrant and limited color palette that further concentrates the overall aesthetics and identity of the game, leaving out the user interface and other images, what works really well too is the game's narrative without which things They would be a superficial touch although that is simply not the case, the dialogue between you and Ellery has an absolutely stunning flow that is completely natural and, in some places, is very moving.

The user interface adapts and it is very easy to mentally create an image of ecology and underwater geography from the text alone and the contours of the map, which are even more visual cues, just like the meaning we had when interacting with the UI our movements across the ocean along with all observations and analysis creates an additional feeling that all is well for lack of a better kinship word for real and when we think about that in general it is an awesome experience in other waters available on steam and nintendo switch at number three and since mid-March re and will of the wisps is one of those games where you screenshots and trailers in all honesty or just not capturing how exquisitely beautiful it all is, an absolute beauty is stunning as it is indistinguishable from most of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters animated with this It is true that almost everything you know in the game is also very compelling and, at the height of the best compared to the original, there is a deeper focus here in combat rather than the precision platform and at first Poor Ori has little power although once the updates start piling up, it can be a good match for enemies and bosses, which are often a fairly decent story-level challenge level without going into spoiler territory that It offers the same kinds of themes as the original addresses themes such as loss and redemption, and while it is essentially a story about light and dark, it avoids simple good against evil.

And overall, it does everything you want out of a sequel and also drives the visual art of This Medium to new heights Orion, The Will of the Wisps is an impressive accomplishment and can be played on PC via Steam, the Windows and Xbox One and Two Signs of the Soul Jonah is a card game about compassionate relationships and communication where you deck is your character and echoes the experiences you have while playing as your deck expands and changes and shapes your experiences and relationships with those around you.

Narrative travels as your cards impact and change your ability to communicate with others as well. Need to find out what kind of person you want to be and how they see you and relate to others is full of hope and compassion. The end is the sum of each card played and the decision you have made is really charming and the hand drawn and cut environments, but a beautiful soundtrack means that this little hidden gem could be what many people looking for signs of stay that I came out on May 14 as a steamer with the expected port on the switch later in the year and finally a number one game of the year so far, the lair of god's watch is the third in the Ben and Dan series, too it's written generously, genuinely delivering laughter after laughter all the way to the comic high notes within video games is notoriously difficult and yet in this game this aspect is so charmingly nailed in all honesty we play this individually and together as a group and we just can't remember having laughed so hard or so hard at any video game like we did with this one it's not just writing or art direction and comedy what makes it so good, what really works so well is how the two main characters face each other and how they work in the environment with a new player and an old point-and-click ER adventure with the other The one who seeks to push things forward by adopting the gameplay styles and gameplay of a platform game may be natural enough to switch between each character, and while we sometimes encounter some control issues, the aiming and click and platforms come together and some of the puzzles are incredibly brilliant in terms of greatness when you complete them it's also really dumb, it's rude and rude though it's never cruel it's also a game to get a little older about accepting the change or stay comfortable with what you know and it's brilliant our game of the year so far country mile and that's it these are our top 10 independent games of is I miss you so far.
