MODERATORS
Since you're playing Mario Wonder one obvious recommendation would be Mario Odyssey, IMO the best 3D platformer ever made.
As for more recommendations, what genres/styles you like?
Thanks! I played a few minutes of Odyssey and was definitely intrigued — I’ll give that a go next. I have a good PC and steam deck, so I’m back with Nintendo for the experiences only they can provide. I’m not much of a platform gamer, but I have started to appreciate the higher fidelity variations. I should also add that I enjoyed BOTW and Golf Story.
For Switch exclusives I'd recommend:
They're both great for opposite reasons - Three Houses has a more interesting story and cast, while Engage has some of the best gameplay in the franchise.
All Kirby games are good fun, and this is one of their games best IMO.
Excellent remakes, but keep in mind that both are kinda short compared to recent RPGs.
A really fun Mario game that got a bit overlooked due to the WiiU's low popularity. Probably my favorite Mario game for coop play.
Fantastic game despite its age, and the remaster is absolutely perfect. The atmosphere and OST are fantastic.
Huge open-world JRPGs with very interesting worlds. Both game have some significant flaws, but the package as a whole is fantastic, with XC2 being the only game in the last decade I spent 200h+. Also, both have amazing DLCs, each including a 20h+ story with new cast, mechanics and world.
Kinda surprised this is still a Switch exclusive, but it's a fantastic Atlus JRPG. Unlike their more popular Persona series this one is more focused on gameplay and atmosphere as you explore a post-apocalyptic world and recruit demons to battle alongside you.
Appreciate the in depth recommendations. I’ll revisit this post a few times I’m sure
