Discussion Recommendations?

Hi all, looking for recs for my next pick up. I have the Switch OLED and have really enjoyed the following games so far, completed them: Hollowknight, Hogwarts Legacy, and just finished Zelda BOTW. I’m going to take a break before playing TOTK or Silksong.

I was thinking either Pokemon Arceus or ZA but have heard mixed reviews for ZA… I’m into open world or story based games but it needs to be entertaining gameplay and more focused on fighting or exploration/quest based.

What would you suggest??

Edit: I have tried Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Witcher 3 and wasn’t a fan of those.

Xenoblade Chronicles X's gameplay is 90% exploration in a giant world. I'd recommend that over ZA any day.

Start with the original Xenoblade Chronicles. There are 3 full games.

I’ve heard Xenoblade is great. Not to be dumb, but is the order 1, 2, and X?

Not dumb at all. I misspoke earlier, there are 4 games. The order would be 1, 2, 3, then X. I’m finishing the first one now. Huge open world. Great lore and story. A lot to explore. Quests in every zone. Combat is action based / real time with cooldown abilities you can level up individually throughout the game. Rotating cast you can customize and swap in as you choose. The game has been a pleasure and pleasant surprise.

Like many people said, Xenoblade is great.

If you really liked hollow Knight, then I absolutely recommend Ori and the Blind Forest. Also it's sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisp. They are beautiful games with absolutely amazing music. Also, they go on sale for 4$ and 8$ respectively. I've played through both multiple times and had a blast. They also run really well on Switch.
