Just because a game was an indie title, it doesn’t mean it won’t be any good. There are a lot of excellent gems in the indie game category. To show support, Nintendo Switch is offering some great deals on its Indie World Holiday Sale. It already started last week but will run until January 2 at 11:59 AM ET. That means there’s still time to get your hands on some of them.
Today, we give you some of our picks that you can use to decide your next indie game.
