Topic: The Switch Recommendations Thread

@Coldsucks2022 it's rock solid. It's a traditional jrpg. I loved the world, story, and characters. It can get a little hard at times though.

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you could give me any recommendations for good 3rd person shooters on Switch. I fell in love with WinBack on the NSO Expansion Pack and have been itching for another experience like it ever since. Thanks for your time and have a great day!

@Fizza The Saint's Row, Sniper Elite and Resident Evil games are probably the best bet for you if you're not including the like of Splatoon 2.

@jump I've actually been meaning to pick up Resident Evil 1 HD on Switch for a long time there now, the only thing that's really stopped me is that the file size is bloody ridiculous so once I upgrade my SD card, I'll probably take the plunge. Also, I actually have Splatoon 2! I got it back in August 2020 and absolutely loved it, can't wait for 3.

@Fizza I've only played a little of saints row IV, but I'll second jump. Worthy of a 3rd person shooter rec. And the RE games. And while you can call RE1 and 0 3rd person, they're not Over the shoulder like 4 5 and 6. I'd go with RE4 of all of them though.

@Fizza

Risk of Rain 2 is the closest thing to Returnal we have on Switch, although it might be too difficult if you play primarily solo. But I enjoy recommending it at every opportunity.

Is Clubhouse Games 51 worth it if I don't like card games?

@WoomyNNYes Yeah, I think only about 10 of the games are card games so there's plenty else in there.

Toree 3D was a really nice platforming romp for 99 cents. It only has about a dozen stages and you can speedrun/collect all the stars in each stage. Graphics are low-res polygons kind of like Short Hike but even chunkier. The controls and hit detection for the platforming are absolutely spot-on, honestly tighter and better telegraphed than some much higher-budget 3D platformers.

I don't know If it's already mentioned, but I can recommend "Splasher"
A fun and challenging 2D Platformer filled with humor and surprises. You make your way with your paint cannon, try to save your companions, and stop your evil boss, Le Docteur.

I really liked Goblin Sword. Not a lot of replay value once you beat all the levels, but you there are costumes/abilities that you can unlock.

Not recommendation:
For me company man was hugely disappointing. I thought it had great potential based on concept and world, but just boring level design, enemies and simple fighting mechanics.

Has anyone tried Rover Mechanic simulator and do you recommend it?

I'm here to recommend an old game:
Rayman Legends Definitive Edition.

I'm in the middle of it and chances are high it'll kick Tropical Freeze from the throne of my favourite 2D jump 'n' runs.

@ophone Highly second this. The music levels especially are amazing.

If you are into Visual Novels, I highly recommend Steins Gate. Great graphics and story.

Most the square games are on sale. I currently have FF 7, 9, X/ X-2, XII, and neo: twewy. Between the rest of the FF games, lost sphear, I am setsuna etc. Anyone have some must buys out of the square sale?

I'm hesitating to buy FF7.
I beat the game back in the day and liked it quite a lot, but I'm not able anymore to replay it, one disc is broken.

@NintendoByNature I think you already got the best of it. You might give one of the mana games a shot or the collection, worth a try and i found some of them quite nice.
Edit. Oh, you are missing FF8. Then you should definitely get that one, especially for the price

Definitely FFVIII Remastered, @NintendoByNature .... Although I Am Setsuna & Lost Sphear get mixed reviews, you might still like them, too?
I'd recommend the Mana Remakes over the collection, personally but I dunno how much you want to spend, lol

@Solaine @BruceCM ok, I might grab 8. I forgot I already have the mana collection and the trials remake. But not the other mana games.
