Got a Switch a Christmas present to myself. If someone can refer me to all the posts in this thread where people who’ve just got Switches ask what all the best games are that would be great.

If not, tell me what all the best games are!

  • Cat Quest. Definitely get Cat Quest, I cannot stress this enough.
#825

Is that the game with the trailer that showed you growing cats as a crop a few months back? If so, I definitely agree.

#826

I believe you may be thinking of Cat Tail, a mere pretender to the cat-based indie RPG throne. This is Cat Quest

You know when you’re playing Skyrim and you start wishing you were playing a game that works? Cat Quest is that experience.

I love my Switch. Last night I got trapped under a sleeping girlfriend for an hour. I had my Switch to keep me busy.

Also, Monster Hunter is great.

I broke my wrist at the weekend and thusly can’t play many of my games.

I know pokemon is a one handed game but that might be under the tree. So, and cheap one handed games? Picross would be ideal but it won’t let my rebind the left analogue stick to the right. Boooo

how about something slower and turn based, like Civ or Mario & rabbids?

#832

Ah rubbish, sorry mate.

Turn based like Mario vs Rabbids should be good. Maybe point ‘n’ click affairs like Thimbleweed Park? But they all still use the left stick I guess to move…

Into the Breach! Turn based, my favourite game this year, only a tenner or something.

#835

Are there any games which are suitable for local multiplayer with people who have never played games before and do not speak good English? Looking for something that will keep the inlaws entertained over the Christmas period.

#836

overcooked 1&2
snipperclips
smash bros :wink:

#837

Overcooked!

#838

Is there any substantial difference between the two Picross games or are they just different sets of puzzles?

#839

Some differces in ui, I think. Also a new mode

Starlink: Battle for Atlas (Nintendo Switch) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071G84MRS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PlKgCbFA08RN5

£19.99!!! Well worth it, I bought it at £34.99 and just play as Fox McCloud. You don’t have to use the silly toys either.
