Topic: Best game under $20?

I was thinking of buying Rad, Cuphead or Stardew Valley though it seems radically different from one another, i'm really looking for a game with a long (but fun) playtime. If you have any suggestions feel free to share.

P.s. local co-op game suggestions would be great too

@Gmacqb I find Broforce, Death Road to Canada and Enter the Gungeon hours of fun and they're all co-op. (Gungeon is probably more survivable solo though.)

@Gmacqb It's hard to beat Stardew Valley for sheer volume of playtime, but if you fancy a bit more action I'd throw in Hollow Knight. It is easily one of the best games on the eShop; it's huge, challenging, rewarding and ridiculously cheap. I'll back up @Illusion with Enter the Gungeon as offering great value, though I've not really delved too far into it.

Superbeat Xonic for $1 on the US eShop is tough to beat.

But if we weren't considering discounts?

I firmly believe that Axiom Verge is the finest metroidvania since Super Metroid.

Stardew Valley will give you hundreds of hours of playtime if you're into it. Aside from being a great story game it's a great sandbox.

Hollow Knight is really worthy, too.

I also recommend:

Horizon Chase Turbo

Battle Chef Brigade

Hand of Fate 2

For local co-op: Overcooked

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

Assuming this includes the $20 price tag, my recommendations are:

Platformer/action: Sonic Mania, Cuphead, Mutant Mudds Collection

RPG/strategy: Final Fantasy VII or IX, Valkyria Chronicles

Can't really go wrong with any of these imo, all stellar titles.

The platformers might give you lower playtime but they are quite repayable due to collectables, challenges, etc.

Stardew Valley will absolutely give you the most bang for your buck. You can put hundreds of hours into that puppy. It does have co-op now, but I'm not really sure how it works.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 is $20 and has local co-op I think. Really awesome game, but I dunno how the co-op works.

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

I really enjoyed West of Loathing, which is a comedy turn based RPG. The RPG part is servicable, but if you don't enjoy reading through massive amount of text, don't pick this up. It's where the game pretty much shines.

@Gmacqb Forgot about Rocket League. Very fun, it's the game in this price range I've played most on my Switch so far. Can play local multiplayer too I believe.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

I can't recommend Golf Story & Minit enough. These are two of my favorite games of this generation.

@Gmacqb You really can't go wrong with Stardew Valley. I dropped over 200 hours into it and could easily pick it right back up and play another 100-200 if I had the time! Cuphead is really popular but I found it has a lot of... unpleasant... fans. A lot of the "gitgud" and the elitists who think a game is only good if it is extremely difficult. But it's got a hella good and original art-style and is bursting with creativity.
