#10 Game of the Year 2021 - Death's Door

Death's Door invites us to a peculiar world filled with gorgeous locations and unique characters. Though the game isn't incredibly long, there's so much lore that makes players feel immersed in this living, breathing, universe. The combat is challenging and satisfying, and the game's boss fights are a major highlight. Death's Door isn't just one of the year's best indies, it's one of the best games overall.

Death's Door is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam platforms. Death's Door also won the Shacknews Award for Indie Game of the Year 2021.
