Our Take
Banner Saga and Mark of the Ninja coming to the portable platform are highlights from a decent Nindies Showcase. Light Fall, with its aesthetics and platformer difficulty that are akin to Ori and the Blind Forest, is perhaps the most interesting of the newer games. It's also great that Switch owners can look forward to these games this year.
