Deck the halls with indie Switch games
It’s the holidays, which also means it’s time for various digital sales.PlayStationkicked off their sale yesterday, and the annualSteamholiday sale is underway too. And now, Nintendo has launched the Indie World Holidaysale, discounting a bunch of solid Switch indies.
A few are indies from years past, likeRiver City GirlsandOlliOlli: Switch Stance. And others are ports that just made it over this year, likeSlime Rancher: Plortable Edition. But some of the standouts of the Nintendo eShop’s holiday indie sale are the little hidden gems.
TakeCozy Grove, for example: acute breath of fresh airthat seems like a pretty relaxing game for the holidays. OrAxiom Verge 2, a sequel that was fairly different from its predecessor butstill had some cool ideas going for it.TOEMis a black-and-white isometric photo-puzzle game I’ve had my eye on for a while, andDodgeball Academiais a sports RPG that I never quite got around to in the summer launch season. OrThe Longing, a game with an absolutely fascinating mechanic: real-life patience.
Basically, this seems like a good time to catch back up on the games that flew under the radar this year, and in years past, too. Plus,Oxenfreeis literally only $2. I’ve paid more for coffee. Go buy and playOxenfree.

A few other indie publishers, as well as major publishers, are hosting sales on the eShop for the holidays too. You can check the full list outon Nintendo’s landing page here. There’s a bit too many to list out, but I strongly recommend perusing the Annapurna and Humble Games sections.Florenceis only $2. It’s a no-brainer.
