Recommend me a Switch game

Just finished Axiom Verge tonight. It was terrific. I'm sad it's over. 
I'm a little taken aback by how easy the last boss was. Honestly, I had more trouble with the 3rd-from-the-last boss. Got my ass whooped good and proper so much that I went back and scraped through all the map to get all the health and weapon upgrades I could find. Once I circled back, I nailed the boss on the first try without breaking a sweat, with a good 1/3rd health meter left to spare.
Great Metroidvania game, a genre I haven't played any in quite some time and am delighted to revisit. Very addictive. There's a wealth of weapons to choose from, though honestly, most of them you don't need. The trusty old Axiom Disrupter did most the work for me, followed by the FlameThrower. Some of the other weapons come in handy now-and-then (like shooting through walls with the Kilver, shooting around corners with the Nova, or the Voranj's spreading beams), but most of them are just novelties that I used once or twice and shrugged off. Looking at the weapon's list, looks like there are quite a few I missed.
9/10, would recommend.
I played a bit of Donkey Kong's Tropical Freeze on my trip, but I'm a little underwhelmed. I'm only a few levels in, and while it's fun, it's just not grabbing my attention the way Axiom Verge did. Now that AV is over, maybe I'll be able to focus a little better on DK.
