The Best Indie Games of 2017

In order to keep his attitude positive towards the player, make sure to never accidentally use a healing potion or spell on him because it will harm him. One of Fane’s colleagues in Arx will try to persuade him to become Divine so he can restore his species, but the player character will need to persuade him otherwise at the Crypt of Lucian. Of course, players who don’t care about romancing him can make him choose whatever they deem to be fitting for this compelling charac

This powerful bow can be attained during Act 2 from a character called Corbin Day. He’ll be found at the Livewood Sawmill. The bow can only be gained if Corbin is freed or if he’s recruited to the Lady Vengeance and then killed. However, both options are questionable , since Corbin can actually level up any unique items sold to him, which can be then purchased in Ac

At its core, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an isometric role-playing game with an extensive choice of dialogue options, intricate systems, and combat that demands strategy and careful planning, much like the first game in the series. The game was clearly designed first and foremost with a PC in mind, which is to say, to be played with a mouse and keyboard. That is still the best way to play it today, but the adaptation to the Switch’s controls is one that works well and never feels clunky. Managing the inventory or character screen takes only a brief while to get used to and updating the action bar makes for quick and efficient combat encounters. When played in docked mode with the 8BidDo Sn30 Pro, the experience remains the same: not quite as good as with a keyboard and mouse, but perfectly adequ

Unlike the Fighter, the Knight has more to offer in terms of versatility. For instance, Battering Ram (Warfare) serves as a great way to close the gap in battle. Meanwhile, Crippling Blow (Warfare) gives Knights an accessible stun option. Lastly, Battle Stomp (Warfare) serves as a decent mid-range s

Divinity: Original Sin 2 joins the growing list of high-quality ports to the Nintendo Switch. In its inclusion of cross-saving with Steam, along with the permanent addition of some of the most beloved community-made mods, developer Larian has gone above and beyond. Other developers who port to the Switch should watch closely, because these are exactly the type of features that should be the norm, not the exception to stare at in

Lohse is a talented singer and artist. However, she carries a dark secret with her. She’s possessed by a dark demon that occasionally takes control of her. Much of her personal story revolves around trying to figure out who and what this demon is but also ensuring that she doesn’t lose hope in hers

In a game where most of the story is told through the environment, Hollow Knight does a fantastic job. The environments are complex and puzzling at times, forcing the player to try to navigate the labyrinthian catacombs of a buried city to unfold the stories buried within it. Hollow Knight delivers a beautiful and serene experience with a complex and interesting narrative, all captured through phenomenal artwork that is truly uni

As a result, he now wants revenge against Lucian’s son and generally despises the Divine. Ifan is a Wayfarer and can summon a wolf to aid him in battle. Depending on the choices players make in the end, he will either despise or love the main character. For the most part, Ifan will stick with the player through thick and thin as long as he’s not insulted by the player’s decision regarding the new Div

Perhaps one of the most surprising hits of the year is What Remains of Edith Finch . The SLG Game Strategy, developed by Giant Sparrow, is an adventure title where players travel through the home of the Finches to learn the history of America’s most unfortunate fam

From the beginning, there is an option to easily set up a link between your Nintendo Switch and Steam account, and it cannot be understated how wonderful this is to have as a feature, and how rare it appears to be in today’s gaming market. The result is that long-time players of the game who may already have countless hours logged on their PCs will now be able to access everything without missing a beat, and the portability factor may renew interest in the game for some play

Another pretty nice bow for any wayfarer and ranger, Vard D’Layal can be found within the town of Driftwood, inside the house that Mordus once lived in. It can be accessed easily from its side door, preferably after the quest to hunt Mordus down has been gained from Lo

The house is full of puzzles and clues that help the player unravel the mystery of what happened to the Finches. What Remains of Edith Finch delivers a heart wrenching story about a family that the player almost feels a part of by the end. Each member of the family has their moment in the spotlight that does each of their stories justice, and delivers an emotional payload that is unlike any other game out th
