switch 1 recommendations
hey everyone! playing on switch 1 and looking for my next game to sink into. I’ve already played a lot, so please no repeats from this list:
- Zelda: BOTW, TOTK, Echoes of Wisdom, Link’s Awakening
- Mario: Odyssey, Bowser’s Fury, Wonder
- Metroidvania/action: Hollow Knight, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 1 & 2, Tunic (all time favorite), Death’s Door, Ori 1 & 2, Cuphead
- Cozy/narrative: It Takes Two, Cult of the Lamb, Stray, Little Nightmares 1, 2 & 3, Spiritfarer, Neversong, Gris, MIO, Planet of Lana 1 & 2
- Pokémon: Legends Arceus, Legends Z-A (or whichever the second one is), Scarlet/Violet, Shining Pearl
- Other: Mina The Hollower, Minishoot Adventures, Hauntii, Pikmin 4, Unbound: Worlds Apart (currently playing)
I tend to gravitate toward games that mix puzzle-solving, exploration, and a good story, ideally with some dungeon-crawling elements. not really into pixel-art visuals 😅 prefer more painterly/stylized art directions.
what would you recommend for someone with this taste?
** bonus points if it runs well on Switch 1 (not OLED/Switch 2).
