Topic: The Switch Recommendations Thread

I was trying to decide whether Everything fit in as a 'nature' game but... it's everything which certainly includes a lot of nature.

After I played that game, I had to create a new category in my game organization files called weird/surreal.

A Short Hike is definitely my favorite game of the list I put above. Abzu is probably second. It's hard to call Everything 'good', but it was certainly an experience.

Looking for a good long game to hold me over until switch 2 is released. How's is no man's sky on switch.

I'm ironically waiting for Switch 2 to get No Man's Sky since it doesn't run perfectly on Switch from what I've seen/heard.

There is always Tears of the Kingdom for a long game. Or if you like Mario and building, Mario Maker 2 is a game you can dump 100s of hours into.

@Qwertyninty
A lot of 3rd party games on Switch have worse performance / quality than the PS4 or PS5 version.
You can try these long games.
1. Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles
2. Animal Crossing New Horizons
3. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
4. FInal Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age
5. Miitopia

@Qwertyninty xenoblade chronicles 3. this is a great starting point in the series. main story is abt 70 hours and to do completionist its abt 250. honestly a MASTERPIECE, but i know complex rpgs arent for everyone. but this games story literally made me teary eyes

@OctolingKing13 I don’t like rpgs

Any Dutch users has experience with this Switch gameshop? https://www.gameshopx.nl/nintendo/switch-gameshop

It's still on sale for another day or so, but I picked up Hazelnut Hex while it's 70% off. Technically 10% off when compared to the Steam price, but eh. The pastel art style screamed, "play me".

Good game. Recommended.

@Magician oh damn this looks hella cool. Love the artstyle.

@Magician I got that game on an earlier sale. I agree it's fun!

so is there any good eshop games that are $10 or less? im in kind of a gaming drought right now and id like something other than nintendo world championships ^_^

@OctolingKing13 type “collection” in the switch eshop search bar and see what you’ll find.

@OctolingKing13 In the mood for anything in particular?

@OctolingKing13 sooooooooo, hello again! ^_^
I feel really silly for neglecting a great 9.99 game. It’s my favorite 2D game and it’s called Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight, it’s a fantastic combat platformer with cute artstyle, fantastic bosses, great music and ambience atmosphere and a decent 3-5 hour length so not a huge time sink. It only popped into my head because I discussed it in a different thread and realized “oh damn I really should mention that here”. Here’s my more detailed description of the game: https://www.pushsquare.com/forums/ps3/what_ps3_games_are_you_...

@Yousef- nothing eye catching when searching up collection unfortunately:<
ooh that game sounds cool though ill look into it !! the title alone is entrancing. i need to explore more 2D platformers too. thanks for the recommendation! @Magician not exactly, avoding M rated games tho ^_^

@OctolingKing13 yeee, hope you have fun and enjoy. It’s a cool as heck game : DDDD

I suggest going to dekudeals (sounds like an ad but it's not 😆) The useful thing a lot of people on this site do is use deku as a way to search the eshop because the in-eshop search sucks. You can put in price range, genre, and sort by metacritic score for example:

https://www.dekudeals.com/games?filter[price_range][min]=1&am...

The above gives you platformers between 1 and 9 dollars with high metacritic score. I actually own about half of the first 20 that pop up and they're all fun games. I own several hundred cheap eshop games so if you are looking for something in particular I am also happy to suggest.

@FishyS oooh oki ty !!!! this is def gonna be helpful in the future when ive heard of dekudeals it always sounds sus haha 😅 i was honestly thinking about jumping on the suika game train cause im one of the only gamers not to get it :3

@OctolingKing13 Suika Game is great! I've put like 40 hours into it. 😆 I suggest getting the basic game first and only getting the online DLC if you decide you like the base game.

And yeah, the name dekudeals sounds sus, but I honestly don't even know how or if that website even makes money; I've only ever used it to list and search games and eShop sales. Edit: I just looked and it says 'This site uses affiliate links and earns a commission from certain links. This does not affect your purchases or the price you may pay.' So, yeah, zero effect if you are just going to use it to search.

How is PowerWash Simulator? It seems like something I'd like and it's kinda tempting at its current sale price, but idk. I've heard mixed things.
