The 10 Best Indie Games of 2020 | PS4, PC, Switch, Xbox

What indie games should be followed with magnifying glass in this 2020?

Third month of the calendar and in just a few days we will have before us names of the size of Resident Evil 3 or Final Fantasy VII Remake among others. Names that have resonated along these lines since, perhaps, longer than we would like, and that, for even longer, they will monopolize the current trend in the world. This start of the new course seems especially crowded with this type of news, but who knows if the ghost of a new generation has reduced the flow of advertisements by large companies. For that more casual player could become a cause for alarm, but nothing could be further from the truth, the year ahead is still overwhelming.

This year is packed with independent premieres of great ambition for all types of players; You MUST check them out.

And, on the part of the indie side, we have a catalog of launches that could monopolize the market without missing the "old guard". It is really complicated to have to make a selection among so many good ideas, presumably excellent execution and impressive artistic sections. As in previous texts the purpose of this article is to prevent you from overlooking any of these names that treasure so high potential. However, there have been many who have stayed in the inkwell and who would also deserve to have their own space here. Therefore, it is recommended that you inquire a little more on your own, because again we repeat that the near future is accompanied by great proposals; That is why we recommend those that for us may be the best PS4 games until 2020, among other platforms.

Carrion (Phobia Game Studio)

Like everything that Devolver Digital touches, Carrion It has not taken long to become one of the titles to take into account during 2020. Incidentally, also one of the best indie games. The level of gore and violence of projects that we have already seen on the part of the distributor is maintained, but this time with a twist: we are the villain, or the annihilating beast. In Carrion we play a deformed predator, an abomination closer to the mind of H.P Lovecraft that will try to escape from the laboratory in which it is located.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps (Moon Studios)

Moon Studios made us enjoy as dwarves a few years ago with Ori and the Blind Forest, one of the best independent games for PC and Xbox One to date. Its direct sequel will arrive in just a few weeks, keeping the Metroidvania style intact, but raising even more the levels of action and visual style that have already become the saint and mark of the brand. Ori and the Will of the Wisps It will leave you with your mouth open thanks to its beautiful designs and scenarios. At the same time it will catch you with an accessible gameplay, but difficult to master in which the difficulty will only keep stuck in command.

Sable is for many years one of the most desired titles in the field of indie games. A work that directly baby Moebius artistic style, all with a touch of exploration very accentuated. A work that only with its trailer is presented as hypnotic. Our mission will be to discover the secrets of an alien planet. From their ships, through monuments and architecture. Saber It is, by far, one of those games to mark in red in the list.

Twelve Minutes (Luis Antonio)

Twelve Minutes will love lovers of the genre thriller, an indie game that could well be written by David Fincher. His credentials for which he has grabbed so much attention? A man is imprisoned in a temporary loop. A repetition of situations that happens every 12 minutes. The protagonist comes home willing to have dinner with his wife. They knock on the door. He is a police officer. The agent shoots at the man without conciseness. It is from here that the time loop will begin again and again. In our hand will be deciphering the mystery.

Hollow Knight: Silksong (Team Cherry)

Hollow Knight is one of the best indies for PS4 as well as other platforms. A title that takes the metroidvania genre one step further, becoming a reference within it. No wonder its sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong be one of the most anticipated independent games of 2020. Team Cherry will take us this time to a new kingdom and of course all that entails: more weapons, enemies and action. Promising.

Somerville (Jumpship)

Dino Patti, co-founder of PlayDead and authors of Limbo and Inside, is already working on his next work. There are few details that we know about her beyond a synopsis and a brief trailer. What we have no doubt is that if Inside is one of the best independent games for PC, Somerville could take that position away. This time we talk about a science fiction adventure in which the Earth lives a catastrophe. During the adventure we will know the life of several people during this tragic moment.

Minutes of Islands (Studio Fizbin)

Backbone puts us in front of an adventure with a unique pixel-art, moving to a dystopian universe with an argument that will delight lovers of black cinema movies. We know little about the argument, although there is no doubt that he promises not to disappoint thanks to the various dialogue options and their consequences.

The Last Night (Odd Tales)

We could not finish the list of the most anticipated indies without mentioning The Last Night. Its launch was scheduled for 2018, but due to several problems during development the date has been postponed, this being still a mystery.

A thriller in which action, narrative and adventure will catch the best of the aesthetics of films like Blade Runner.
