Look at any year-end top seller list and it’s pretty much populated by big ticket titles — which is why it’s nice that Nintendo has released a video announcing which indie titles of 2021 sold best. While not ranked (for understandable reasons), it still provides a glimpse into what was a hit and what wasn’t this year. The games include the following:
- Cyber Shadow
- Unpacking
- Tetris Effect: Connected
- Stick Fight: The Game
- Curse of the Dead Gods
- Ender Lilies – Quietus of the Knights
- Doki Doki Literature Club +
- Spelunky 2
- Road 96
- Subnautica & Subnautica: Below Zero
- Littlewood
- Islanders: Console Edition
- Slime Rancher: Portable Edition
- Eastward
- Axiom Verge 2
Maybe you have a couple of these titles already, and maybe their presence here interests you a little more — either way, we can only hope that indies continue successes into 2022 and beyond.
