The game is a surprisingly deep and entertaining experience that will keep you hooked for days. If you ever feel like kicking your feet up and taking it easy with a video game, Stardew Valley is your friend.

3) Terraria

Terraria has often been described as 'Minecraft, but a 2D side-scroller', and it is not fair to the game. Terrarria has brilliant, unique ideas of its own and does a decent job of creating a pleasant gameplay loop that will keep making you come back to it.

Terrarria is also a straightforward game to get into, but will take a lot of practice to master. It is one of the best indie games of 2020, and is worth every penny of its price tag.
