There is a third category between blockbuster and indie insider tip: the games from the second row, which hardly anyone had had on the screen before, but that was all the more surprising. They often shine with innovative ideas, loving execution or the more heart and passion that the soulless AAA productions lack. These 10 games surprised and excited us in 2019.
Rank 10: astral chain
The developers of Platinum Games are known for their crazy action fireworks such as Bayonetta, Vanquish and Nier: Automata, and slowly they finally seem to lose the insider tip image for players with an eccentric taste. As the cop of the future you hunt creatures from another dimension and unleash a demonic creature that you always keep on a leash with you. It's cool, it's colorful, it's loud, that's … well, typically eccentric platinum. Just a little insider tip.
Here you can watch the official trailer for the release of Astral Chain on the Switch.
