Drink a slice of lock fish
Isn’t it strange? It’s odd to think That you can’t eat an eat, But you can drink a drink. And often, I want to disagree

Encroachment
I slowly start to open my eyes until a hazy, green light makes me wince, quickly forcing me to close them again. My head rolls gently to the side.

The Nintendo Switch eShop saw another 55 new games released over the last 7 days, and I’ve picked 4 indies that stood out from the rest.

Best of Switch Indies – 06 Feb 2022
The last 7 days have seen another ~45 games released on the Nintendo Switch eShop. As usual, I’ve sorted the wheat from the chaff to find another 3 excellent indie games to add to your collections.

Best of Switch Indies – 30 Jan 2022
I really should shut my mouth. After bemoaning last week’s abysmal releases on the Nintendo Switch eShop, we were spoiled for choice of good indie games this week. With almost 50 games released, close to 10 were contenders, but I managed to narrow it down to a top 4.

Best of Switch Indies – 23 Jan 2022
My regular readers may have noticed a missing round-up last week. No, I wasn’t being lazy; it’s just that there was practically nothing good to be found out of the ~35 games released on the Nintendo Switch eShop. There were 2 notable mentions in ASTRONEER and Demoniaca: Everlasting Night, but they didn’t quite make the cut. I won’t stop you from buying them, though!

Best of Switch Indies – 09 Jan 2022
With 35+ new releases on the Nintendo Switch eShop last week, you’d be forgiven for thinking things were returning to normal after the holidays. However, the number of quality games was still relatively low in comparison. With that said, I did still find 3 games that are more than deserving of being added to my Best Of Switch indies list.

This is a story…
This is a story all about how A mouse was afraid of a shrewd barn owl. When the sun rose, mouse frolicked and played, But as nighttime fell, she became owl’s prey.

Best of Switch Indies – 02 Jan 2022
It’s been an understandably quiet Holiday period on the Nintendo Switch eShop, with only 41 games released over the previous 2 weeks combined. While most of them seem like absolute trash, 3 indie publishers thought they’d take a chance at getting between you and the rest of your presents.
