WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "INDIKA might have been hit and miss with some of its gameplay elements and had some pacing issues, but one thing is certain: it’s definitely a game that swung for the fences and took a lot of risks. It’s weird and bizarre in all the best ways. It’s a game that hooks you right from the start and will hold your attention until the credits roll. I can’t say it’s a happy experience, but it’s one with a very clear vision and strong message, controversial as it might be. INDIKA is one of those rare games that takes you completely by surprise and sticks with you long after you’ve finished it."
Clair Obscur and Nintendo Switch 2 were also winners.
Publisher 11 bit studios and developer Odd Meter will release a Switch version of third-person story-driven game INDIKA this fall, the companies announced. A physical edition including the official soundtrack will be available via Silver Lining Interactive.
