Best game to go for - Switch

mirrormatrix

Looking for some game recommendations. There's such a huge range of games on Switch it's difficult to know where to get started!

So far on Switch I mostly own indie releases (into the breach, thimbleweed park, hollow knight). Bought Mario Galaxy but just couldn't get into it. Gave up around metro city.

I hear BOTW is fantastic, but i'm concerned it'll be too much like Ocarina of Time (which was my least favourite Zelda game to date). I'm also quite taken by Fire Emblem Three Houses.

My favourite games (across DS/3DS)

Nine hours, nine persons nine doors
Big bang mini
Rhythm Heaven
Knights in the nightmare
Advance Wars
Fire Emblem Awakening (though it got quite predictable by the end)
Pocket Card Jockey

Basically, I like interesting puzzle games, tactical strategy and rpg (but not JRPG, too much of a grind). Bought Mutant Year Zero recently and didn't like it at all, so hoping to not get burned again.

Any recommendations based on this rather eclectic list?

Cheers.

BOTW is simply one of the best games ever developed and produced.

I would say that it appeals to the vast majority of people so you're pretty safe in getting it.

BOTW is an incredible game, one of the best ever made. Buy it!

How can anybody, especially a Zelda fan, not like OoT :D

But eh, yeah defo get BOTW, the game is littered with lil mini puzzle dungeons that should definitely appeal to your love for puzzles. It's a must try game at the very least. It does have one or two things i hated and as a result consider OoT and Windwaker better games, but i still really enjoyed it.

I also heard good things about the new Fire emblem on the switch, so defo check that out too

If you like fire emblem and advance wars, check out Wargroove.

Breath of the Wild it is so, cheers all for the feedback!

For the turn based strategy games side of things, Wargroove is definitely on my list, as is Darkest Dungeon. Also, that new Warhammer 40k Adeptus Mechanicus game looks interesting.

Do u like car racing games?
I play a lot of Asphalt 9. Its a bit "Pay-to-win" but apart from that, its a good game.

I wasn't mad on Ocarina of Time, but loved BOTW. You might give Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle a go for strategy. Death Squared is another interesting looking one, though I believe it's better fun played with friends.

I actually have Mario Rabbids and really liked it. It's an interesting switch from games like Fire Emblem or Xcom which are much more about slow and steady progress. You can really tear across the map!

Will have to have a look at Death Squared, never heard of it.
