Topic: The Switch Recommendations Thread

Which is just Legends of Mana, on Switch, isn't it ...? @NintendoByNature Potentially, FFXV PE is pretty good, too?

@BruceCM I think legends of mana is different than the trials of mana remake no? I have the mana collection and the remake. But not legends of mana.

Yep, @NintendoByNature .... Just, as you have the other 2, that's the only 1 left! What else is currently on sale for us to persuade you to buy?

@BruceCM used up some gold coins and got FF8. I'll probably hold off on anything since it's about to get busy with releases and chrono cross is on my list. It'll be a bit before I fire it up though.

That's cool, @NintendoByNature .... I pre-purchased Chrono Cross on Steam, so I'll play that when it's out! Don't forget to let me know whenever you do get around to FFVIII, it's a pretty good game

Bastion is marked down 80% on the UK eShop.

If you somehow haven't played it, at that price...don't skip it.

Made by the folks who made Hades.

Gijoe is on sale for $10. I kinda wanna get it but the game got pretty mixed reviews. Anyone try it? Does it have multiplayer?

I know a lot of people like them, but I really did not like Children of Morta or Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. Morta felt too empty and the pixel art made the levels/monsters feel too similar to enjoy. Sword of Ditto also got obnoxious real fast.
Really did not like Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, it gets pretty hard and it just feels more like a drag then enjoyable. I'm at the point where I want to beat it so I don't have to play it anymore, not because I'm actually enjoying it.

Streets of Rage and Metroid Dread are freaking incredible though. A + for them. Almost every Nintendo first part game I end up enjoying and beating.

What Hyrule Warriors game recommend?

I can't decide in which HW game buy.
In general I like a lot the musou/warriors games, these type of games are one of my favorites.
In the case of the DE I like the list of characters and the amount of fan service it have, but a lot of people say is "too grind" the problem is I don't know exactly why.
In the case of AC I play the demo, and looks nice and fun. But I haven't play BOTW and I don't know nothing about the charaters or the story.

Gotta recommend 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Triangle Strategy

Both games exceeded my expectations, and deserve far more attention than they've received.

Doom Eternal is on sale. I really don't like FPS on consoles but took the plunge at that price and... it's just incredible unadulterated fun! Yes, aiming is difficult without a mouse but the game does help you a bit. And with a few upgrades unlocked jumping from one ripe fat demon to the next to pluck them for that sweet, nourishing glory kill feels awesome.

"nobody saves the world
this game just barely came out buuut with that said i am having so much fun with it i have some small nitpicks i dont like with it but it is so much fun

I have never played any of the splatoon games. The new one that is coming out soon looks interesting. Is the single player for these games fun?

@Moonfish The single player modes are great but quite short (at least in the first two games, we don't know about the third one's story mode yet). So they're probably not worth buying if you only want to play offline, but the online multiplayer is fantastic too and will keep you busy for ages.

Hi, i have some question please:

I like both but u cab buy just one at the moment:
everspace or rebel galaxy outlaw ?

another question
is dy smantle worthy ?

i like everspace it is a rouge like space game i would look up switch ups reveiw thats what made me not want rebel galacy outlaw and so i got everspace instead

I own and played rebel galaxy outlaw for a few hours. It's not bad, but kinda... boring? Ever samey? Wouldn't recommend. Why not wait and see how good No Man's Sky does for itself on switch? @aresius

I was excited for Switch Sports, then it landed with a whimper, but now I am still itching for some sports titles. I was thinking about Mario Tennis Aces, but it seems a little too complicated for me. Are there any similar exaggerated arcadey sports titles, but ones that are maybe more about the sports themselves, rather than systems layered over those sports?

New user here, first post. I signed up because I don't know where to ask this.

Can anybody recommend a game that offers free form building, sort of like Minecraft (or more like Dragonquest Builders) but without being restricted to cubes? I'd like to be able to shape landscapes freely. I prefer fantasy or primitive themes, but I'm desperate enough to consider sci-fi or whatever.

@Garsh Yeah, getting away from cubes is tough. Portal Knights is another cube builder.

I can only think of two games that skew toward what you're after, Claybook and Lego Worlds, but I'm not sure they have what you're looking for. I dont' know if claybook will offer the freedom you want. Yes, the latter is lego blocks, but it might have more types of building? I could be wrong. That's my best guess based on watching new releases since Switch launched.

@WoomyNNYes Thanks! Neither of those are very close to what I'm after, but they both look very cool and worth getting into for their own merits. Nice picks!
