Beyond the big releases from major developers like Ubisoft, Valve, Activision Blizzard, and the like, indie games are worth it. On the occasion of PAX East 2020, some of the most anticipated titles of this 2020 have come back to shine and be seen to announce that they are close. So, we have compiled some of the most attractive ones that you should keep track of.
The most interesting indie games at PAX East 2020
Being attracted to big titles like Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077 or similar is normal. It happens to me and there's nothing wrong with it, but I also admit that it's a shame that they let themselves pass very interesting indie proposals. During PAX East 2020, some games have been seen that will surely give a lot to talk about this year.
Below you have the ones that have attracted the most attention, and it is possible that after seeing what they offer and looking for some more information about them, you will make a list of titles that you would not like to stop playing this year. Because, in addition, indie games are very good proposals due to their freshness and sometimes more risky mechanics. So, let's go see them.
Boyfriend Dungeon
Boyfriend Dungeon is something similar to Transistor, an action RPG game with an isometric perspective in which you have to go through different settings and fight those enemies that come your way. With some striking graphics, it looks like that typical game that you start playing and you can't stop until you finish it. In addition, along with the PC version it will also come to Nintendo Switch and Mac. And let's see, for Switch it attracts me a lot, but that it is also on Mac is to be appreciated since this is not a great gaming platform.
cloudpunk
cloudpunk, with graphics similar to the classic pixelart, is like a kind of Blade Runner at the aesthetic level. Thanks to that visual section, I think it's already hooked, although the important thing is the game itself. The main mechanics are related to the transport of packages from one point to another through a flying car. Take a look at the trailer and you will surely understand better what the game is about. It will be available for PC, Playstation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
disco room
Imagine a room in which several discs rotate non-stop while bouncing looking to end your life, what would you do? Well that, run and try not to get hit to try to survive as long as you can. That's what he proposes disc room, a game that can be very fun to play in gatherings with friends. After all, the fun is to show that you are the one who has the best reflexes and the most skill when it comes to dodging each puck. Available only for PC.
The Pathless
If you liked The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Oceanhorn 2 and other similar titles, you probably will. The Pathless also. Although, what I have no doubt is that on an aesthetic level it will attract you. Because the game is graphically gorgeous. Colorful and highly varied settings, smooth movements and a soundtrack that seems to be up to the task as well. If you have to score just one indie game, make it this one. It will be available for Playstation 4, PC and, beware, Apple Arcade.
The Red Lantern
There are games, like the previous one, that only at the graphic level are already an absolute pleasure. The Red Lantern proposes a video game where you control a girl and her sled pulled by dogs. You must choose each of these dogs and they will be an important element that marks the development of the story. A proposal where you can enjoy the trip, I am sure it will be more important than reaching the end of the journey. It will be available for PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
The Spirit Farer
A game of those that requires playing it calmly. The Spirit Farer It offers you a story in which you will have to recruit and help spirits while you build and expand the place where you live by collecting resources. That is why playing it without haste and in those moments in which you are calm. It will be available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
The value of indie games
These are some of the indie games that have been seen at PAX East 2020 and that have personally caught my attention. Surely he left me many more, but I hope that if you have just discovered them they have helped you to see that these small studies are capable of do very interesting things. That not everything should be Fortnite, CoD or similar titles that really do not need any promotion.
