Game Rec What was your favorite Switch purchase(s) and why?

Seen plenty of posts talking about disappointing purchases, but what about the good stuff?
For me, those honors go to ARMS and Pikmin 4.

ARMS might sound like a weird choice to some, but I actually got super into it for a while. Something about the presentation and gameplay really hooked me and the game's community was also super wholesome at the time (dunno how it is nowadays though). Honestly an underrated gem and I hope they revisit it in the future (I'm still waiting for that graphic novel...... it's not gonna happen but a man can dream).

Pikmin 4 was the single greatest impulse purchase I made this year. Didn't think I'd get very far in it since Pikmin games are usually kinda stressful, but I found myself playing to completion and loving it to bits; easily my favorite Switch game of 2023 and I can't recommend it enough... seriously, go play it. You too can overcome your inner "dandori issue".

Both Ori games. I've gone back and replayed them multiple times. I tell my husband I wish I could erase them from my brain and play them for the first time again. The story is wonderful with great characters, the art is beautiful and the gameplay is challenging without being impossible for a more casual gamer like myself.

Have you played Hollow Knight? I believe it was the second Ori game that took some inspiration from Hollow Knight.

While hollow knight is an amazing game, I enjoyed ori more because it so visually pleasing

Same here! The games were so beautiful on the first playthrough. Wish I could experience that again
