Hollow Knight: Silksong - 2025


Best Indie Games Newsletter

By Clement • 06 April 2025

Hello Indie Game Fan!

The Switch 2 Direct was the big event of the week and man did they bring out some heavy hitters in indies (more in be video below), including, curiously enough, a 5-second mention in a sizzle reel for Silksong, with apparently the big news being that it has slopes which might have contributed to it's extremely long development cycle.

Singapore always gets delayed console launches which is why I tend to be PC only, but maybe, this time around, a Nintendo console might make a good Christmas present for the kiddo. Any recommendations for a 4-year old?

Other than that, various showcases and random drops over the past few weeks saw the return of Witchbrook and even the next game form Edmund McMillen, so all's good in the world of indie games!

Best Indie Games Summer Showcase will be returning this year, Tuesday, June 3rd 2025, 8AM Pacific!

This week saw the shadow drop of the long rumored Oblivion Remaster, which has absolutely taken over the conversation this week (to the detriment of some indie games) and seems like it is doing justice to the game, but unfortunately might explain exactly why we are getting so many remakes and remasters instead of new titles. Meanwhile, a turn based JRPG from a 30ish person French team is now the best rated...

Best Indie Games Newsletter By Clement • 13 April 2025 Hello Indie Game Fan! Relative to last week's Switch 2 Direct, it was a relatively muted week with nothing too crazy happening, with Blue Prince and Crashlands 2 really standing out for new releases, along with the Triple-i showcase and the regular news. My output has not been there as of late, I too have my struggles with sitting down to get work done, so if you are as well, you're not alone! Maybe next week will be better Best Indie...
