2020 sucked hard but one bright spot was in video games. There was no shortage of amazing things to play while you were stuck at home. Rather than do a traditional top 10 this year, I decided to forgo talking about AAA games altogether and make an unordered list of 10 varied indie games from the year that I think are worth checking out. They're all different and they won't all be for everyone but I liked them and I think they're at least worth a look.

The music in the podcast is selections from the incredible soundtrack to Chicken Police. Check it out on Bandcamp here.

Here is the list with links to buy the PC versions. I highly recommend listening to the episode first and if you do decide to buy the PC version, please use the affiliate links in the titles to support me:
