Even though Sony and Microsoft just released state-of-the-art consoles with major video game titles on the way, we can t forget the indie games that pushed us through a grueling year. I ve put together a short list of games that I loved, but there s always more to discover on Steam or your console s online store. And keep in mind that only one of these games actually came out in 2020.
Dead Cells
Dead Cells, by indie developer Motion Twin, is a masterclass in the roguelike genre. It mixes that signature perma-death gameplay and medieval flair while simultaneously operating as a 2D platformer. You control a ball of slime that inhabits a corpse, using its limbs to pick up weapons and plow through creatures infected with a deadly virus, collecting power-ups and treasure along the way.
