Let us know which indie games you reckon give AAA games a run for their money in the comments section. Remember that if there are any heavy hitters not on here, well this is video 1 of 12 in our 12 days of Switchup series and no doubt they'll show up elsewhere. Don't want to repeat the same games for 12 videos!




Happy gaming! Glen & Mark.

"Tie your shoe laces and get a moon" You guys have really captured the feeling of 2 guys down the pub talking about games. Really enjoy your style and taste in games. Long may it continue.

On the first day of Switchmas, my true love gave to me…
Games without greed driven DLC

[axelatticus]

Hollow Knight is a perfect game that I bought and completed 3 times on 3 different platforms and it still costed me less than a single triple A game. What more can I say?

[FrecklyJon]

Loved this more casual style of video with you guys just chatting about each game. I have always stayed away from Cuphead for no good reason, and this may see me picking it up.

[carolineeasthope]

Brilliant list. My favourites from this year are Disco Elysium, Hades and Deaths door. I'm just starting Eastwood. What I love about indie developers is they put their heart and soul into games and build it from the ground up not just money. I honestly think the switch is a great platform for indie games. Have a great Christmas.

Eastward looks AMAZING, I don’t know how I could overlook this gem. Thanks for the heads up guys!

[Sobe]

Hades was definitely it. The was really well done from the engaging story to the excellent music it was just what every game should aspire to have. I've heard good things about Eastward so I'm definitely looking to add that to my library soon. Every game here was spot on, well done.

I really enjoyed the conversational style of this one. If yall ever made a podcast I'd listen to it.

[Gameitupchannel]

Sonic Mania was really a group of fans showing Sega how to use their own character. Editing was a lot of fun when listening to you guys

[mjroebuck]

Love the new format guys, you two really shine when you’re just having a chat. Great work! Definitely should be considered for some voice over work, hopefully the offers roll in soon!

Hades. It can be said again and again. It is absolutely fantastic in every way, art direction, music, gameplay loop, the shear amount of dialouge.

Eastward was a also a solid experience, and kept putting me in awe over how good it looks and use of graphics.

I have yet to try Deaths sport, but it is only a matter of time!

It is really hard to decide what to prioritize from all the good recommendations 😄

[chrys]

Reaaally enjoying the banter, guys. Hope you keep the same format throughout all Switchmas 🤜😌

[sevensyns]

I feel ORI needs a place on this list. Both games are amazing not to mention that they look and play absolutely fantastic on the Switch. Other than that, I think it a damn fine list that you two put together.

[NormanCampbell]

I do local radio in the town where I live, mainly for my passion and love of music, listening to this today made me think of my own shows, a hell of a lot of enthusiasm and deep regret of not writing down notes.

[jamescampbell]

I thumbs uped your video before watching it because you guys never fail.

[JoesCaribbeanVanLife]

I really loved this format. Very refreshing and original.

[nicknormandy]

This banter is the reason I watch this format of video on the channel ❤

[YourASMRFriend]

It’s fun to hear the back and forth between you two. It’s almost like listening to a chill version of Mr Sunday Movies! Cheers!

Great vid lads! Really enjoyed the chilled out casual conversation. Perfect for Monday evening viewing after a busy day at work.
Looking forward to what the remainder of 12 days of SwitchUp has to offer!

Also, when you mentioned the checkpoint flags in Demon Turf and wondering whether or not any other games have done so, Ori and the Blind Forest popped into mind. You could set your own checks from memory 👍
