The former president of Sony Interactive Entertainment and current head of PlayStation Indies is also part of the industry figures who have decided to evaluate the year we have lived, with the intention of highlighting the independent titles that he liked the most throughout 2021. In addition, beyond publishing a simple list, he has also shared a brief commentary on how his experience has been with each of the chosen ones.
