Recommend me a Switch game
16th December 2019, 7:02 PM
Alright, my recommendation is a greatest hits list of Switch games then. Not all of these are exclusives, but if you want them portable, which you just told us you do, then you'll want the Switchy version of these.
Breath of the Wild: I think you already have this.
Mario Odyssey: If you don't have this, attain it! It's the most fun I've had with a Mario game since Mario 64, and the world design is more akin to Banjo Kazooie since you can just keep exploring on and on after getting each moon.
Sonic Mania: The most fun I've had with Sonic since Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Frankly, this is a return to form we've not seen since Genesis, and it's the first new "move" they dumped in a Sonic game that actually was fun and useful. It's only a shame that Amy Rose never joined the roster of characters.
ALL of the Jackbox party packs are gold, though not each individual game. Get that to have some simple fun with your non-gamer family and friends.
Axiom Verge is a Metroid style game done right- with no handholding and plenty of focus on learning the physics of the game and it's environments to discover new things.
Oni and the Blind Forest is another Metroid style game that focuses on the story telling aspect, and the first 10 minutes may just have you in tears in a very Pixar way.
Luigi's Mansion 3 is a return to form for the series. They once again have a gallery's worth of unique quirky ghosts instead of 2's focus on Boos and Boos alone.
Megaman 11 is just plain fun. Capcom's still got it!
Tropical Freeze is everything amazing about the DKC series and what's left of Retro studios. Even though that studio has a lot of internal issues right now, that game managed to be absolutely incredible. You know how good platformers will dedicate a whole stage to a simple idea and then itterate on that idea again and again as the stage goes on? Tropical Freeze takes it to the next level. Not only do stages introduce multiple concepts to you, they intermingle those stage elements into brand new combined elements that are more than the sum of their parts. A mine cart stage that's also a lumber mill, where not only are you learning how to traverse in the mine cart, you are learning how to deal with the lumber mill's hazards, which combine midway through the stage so that you are now mine cart riding on chunks of lumber as they are steadily carved into the next sections of the track, so now you are watching what's being carved knowing that chunk is about to be thrown ahead to become a section. It's brilliant, but very hard.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
