The Nintendo Switch is littered with indie games, but here are the five that you have to own, right now.

Cuphead: It’s one of the toughest games of this console generation, but it’s an awesome throwback.

Celeste: If you love games that make you feel, this is a must-own.

West of Loathing: A stick-figured RPG? Yes! And it’s amazing.

Wrestling Empire: It’s the best wrestling game on the Nintendo Switch and that’s not just for a lack of respectable competition. It’s deep, fun and silly.

Hades: It was a blast before it was released on Switch, but the sexy gameplay loop feels tailor-made for Nintendo’s console.
