We are quite familiar with Satisfactory here at Shacknews. At the very least, we know we're in for a rollercoaster of teenage dinosaur emotion, and that might be all we really need to stay on board. Such as the case, we're rather excited and curious to see what KO_OP brings to the table with this one. We haven't heard much on it since, but if the reveal trailer was anything to go by, it's supposed to arrive sometime in the year 2021. Goodbye Volcano High was a wonderfully curious and cartoonish premise shown off exclusively for the PlayStation 5 in 2020. We'll bet that you may have thought that game trailer about dinosaur teens, music, and high school drama was a fever dream, but we assure you it's real and still on its way in 2021. Doing a 900 as a chubby little cardinal is within our grasp.

We're still running hot on our love of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, so we're also happily chomping at the bit to see what Skatebird feels like when it finally reaches its eventual 1.0. SkateBird has long promised to bring us a lot of the things we like about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, but reskinned with determined little birds, their toy skateboards, and a menagerie of office and home furnishings repurposed as a skate park for their adorable shenanigans. We're still rooting for Andrew Shouldice to show us what Tunic's brave little fox can do, and we have a feeling we'll be happy with the results whenever they arrive. If anything, all Link's Awakening did is leave us wanting more of these types of games. There's still more than enough room for the fox-centered top-down adventure Tunic has promised us. But Nintendo hasn't entirely stolen Finji's thunder. It's been long enough, in fact, for a similarly styled remake of Zelda: Link's Awakening to be announced and come out. Tunic has actually been known to us for quite some time. Do we want to have in-person tournaments in Windjammers 2? You bet your sweet bippy we do, but if the online is perfected in the meantime, then we'll have a good game on our hands either way as we await the day of Windjammers 2 tournament events.

The world still isn't ready to go back to physical events and Dotemu knows it needs that extra time to give this game the netcode it needs to succeed in offline and online settings. This one actually got pushed back from late 2020, but it was with absolutely perfect reason behind it. The colors are splendid, the action is hot and fast, and the wind is indeed jamming as every tease has brought us closer to the disc throwing vs battle we crave. Windjammers is so very ridiculous in its premise and it always has been, but Dotemu is cranking it to 11 with this one in every way. Just in case you’re curious, we have another Most Anticipated Games list we specifically kept separate from the indie gems. Looking to fill your own wishlist? Check out Shacknews’ 25 most anticipated indie games of 2021!

Indie gaming has become so deliciously varied that last year we began a livestream show specifically dedicated to them here at Shacknews.
