The best Switch indie game ports in 2018

With how popular the Switch has proven, many developers are still playing catch up in bringing their games to the console. Much has been said about the titles below already, but if you’ve missed the chance to play them thus far, the Switch is absolutely the finest place to do so now.

Hollow Knight

Easily the finest metroidvania in recent memory, Hollow Knight's wonderfully simple visuals belie a rich and expansive world for you to uncover. It’s far from easy, but take the time to master both combat and platforming and you’ll be rewarded with a thrilling, evocative experience that’s up there with the best in the business.

Minit

An action-RPG in which you die every sixty seconds might sound like a pain in the rear, yet developer Vlambeer has somehow turned the concept into a game that makes every moment matter. There’s no time for messing around if you want to make progress in Minit, so each life feels like an intense work towards progressing your current puzzle or path of exploration. Give it a shot, it’ll only take a Minit.
