    Don't let SOLAS 128's seemingly simple premise put you off; this is one fantastic indie puzzler that you'll want to see through to the end.

    If the idea of exploring an edge-of-your-seat terrifying world sounds good then you definitely can't go wrong with Charon's Staircase.

    It may take a while to learn how to play West of Dead effectively but the journey is ultimately rewarding and a ton of gunslinging fun.

    Marble It Up is easy to universally recommend as I can't imagine anyone not enjoying mastering its clever levels.

    Even with a couple less-than-stellar tracks thrown in, Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass is a ton of fun, especially the fact that Squeaky Clean Sprint is as silly as it is and you can finally race through a Canadian city in Vancouver Velocity. Great stuff.

    I had a great time with Mail Mole and its cute premise made me smile as I played through each of its many lovely stages.

    Batbarian has you play as a barbarian who's friends with a bat and that's pretty cool. Not only that; its gameplay strikes a perfect balance between combat and puzzles to make a supremely rewarding formula and it's quite funny to boot.

    If you haven't played Ruiner yet then getting it on Switch is a must, especially if you enjoy dark, gritty, and action-packed indie games.

    Castle Crashers Remastered takes an already great game and makes it even better by improving its performance and adding a new mini-game. It may not go as far as some remasters but it's still worth purchasing, especially if you haven't played it before.

    With a silly premise, tight 2D gameplay, and rewarding collectibles, Sir Lovelot is sure to delight as you master stage after stage.

    SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is one of the most unique and entertaining online games that I've ever played. At the same time, it can be an extremely frustrating experience if you don't play it carefully so be prepared to keep your eyes peeled during every mission.

    I enjoyed Space Otter Charlie for its unconventional gameplay that features a lot of variety in its objectives and clever environments.

    Not everyone will love Depth of Extinction's open-ended campaign as much as I did but it's a top-notch SRPG no matter how you slice it.

    Mon-Yu presents an old-school RPG formula in an accessible way that'll still force you to strategise when it comes to both traversal and combat. Because of that, it's one of the most rewarding and enjoyable dungeon crawlers that I've ever played.

    Fueled Up is one of the best co-op games that I've ever played thanks to its high-pressure gameplay which is so stressful that it's hilarious. Throw in oodles of variety and a bunch of oddball characters and you're left with one great ship-fixing adventure.

    Rising Hell's intuitive gameplay makes combating its monsters and ascending its tricky levels a treat for anyone who's up for a challenge.

    I love indie games that present simple concepts and really flesh them out in surprising ways and that's what Aureole - Wings of Hope does.

    Anodyne 2: Return to Dust is a fantastic indie that captures 2 bygone eras beautifully so if you like trippy games, you need to play it.

    Frantic co-op multiplayer games don't get much better than Very Very Valet with its hilarious gameplay premise and silly scenarios.

    I absolutely loved my time with Into the Restless Ruins' sim and survival mix and would love to see more indies boldly experiment like this.

    If you want to play something out of the ordinary, you certainly can't go wrong with the very intriguing Cosmic Top Secret.

    Space Invaders Forever contains 3 very different alien-shooting experiences in one enjoyable collection. Whether you prefer fending off invaders solo or with a few friends, you're bound to have a great time with these fantastic games.

    When it comes to arcade-style puzzle games, few reach the heights of Radical Rabbit Stew. It'll make you hop with delight.

    After my first couple hours with Pankapu, I expected to sail through the rest of the campaign and move on from this gorgeous action platformer. I had no idea that I still had more than 6 hours of challenging, thoughtful content in front of me at that time but I'm glad that I did as Pankapu ended up being one of my most pleasant surprises of the year.

    I had a surprisingly good time with Let's Sing Country. I just wish my awful singing didn't deafen everyone in the household.

    Pixel Ripped 1995 is a must-have PSVR game, especially for gamers who grew up in the '90s as it makes for one brilliant nostalgia trip.

    HITMAN World of Assassination VR provides so much familiar yet fresh gameplay that it's actually hard to go back to the non-VR version.

    I'm delighted with what Hot Wheels Rift Rally has to offer and it's by far the most enjoyable mixed reality gaming experience that I've played yet. Whether you're a fan of Hot Wheels or just want to build race courses around your home, you'll have a great time with it.
