Gris
A wordless watercolour journey through grief — less a game than a moving painting you walk through, and one of the most beautiful things on Switch.
Category Nintendo Switch
The best indie games you can play on Nintendo Switch.
Cocoon
A serene, mind-bending puzzle adventure of worlds within worlds — from the lead designer of Limbo and Inside.
Vampire Survivors
You barely even attack — you just move, dodge, and watch thousands of monsters explode. The minimalist phenomenon that launched a whole genre.
Tunic
A tiny fox, a top-down adventure that looks like classic Zelda — and a secret in-game manual that turns the whole thing into a glorious puzzle box.
Cult of the Lamb
Build a murderous cult by day, clear roguelike dungeons by night — an adorable, sinister mashup that became an instant phenomenon.
Ori and the Blind Forest
A platformer so beautiful it looks painted, wrapped around a story that opens with one of gaming’s great gut-punches.
Spiritfarer
A cozy management game about death — you are the ferrymaster who builds a boat, cares for departed spirits, and eventually says goodbye to each one.
Into the Breach
Tiny, perfect turn-based tactics from the makers of FTL — defend the last cities of Earth from giant bugs, two minutes of agonizing decisions at a time.
Slay the Spire
The deckbuilding roguelike that spawned an entire genre — climb the spire, build a deck on the fly, die, and immediately need to play again.
Cuphead
A run-and-gun boss-rush of staggering difficulty, drawn frame-by-frame in the style of a 1930s cartoon — there is nothing else that looks like it.
