    Alright?

    Last time I played the Switch was when Fire Emblem came out. I sold my Switch and Series X at the time to go on an amazing holiday with my partner, but now I've got some cash again and I'm eager to dig back into the switch

    What's come out since then that's an absolute must play? Luigi's Mansion looks good, so does Pikmin and Legends Arceus and also Xenoblade Three and Octopath Two.

    Hook me up friends :D

    The last game I played on Nintendo Switch was Fire Emblem Engage, the gameplay is enjoyable, the characters are nicely designed and the story is okay.

    I personally give it an 8 out of 10.

    The Switch has the best library of games of any system ever, pretty much. Octopath II is great, as is Triangle Strategy, but this might depend on your tolerance for JRPGs with huge amounts of dialogue. And Metroid Prime Remastered is must-play if you haven't played the original. Pikmin 3 is also amazing.

    I personally give a high recommendation to Luigi's Mansion 3. I think its the best game on the Nintendo Switch overall, over Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, which are also great games. Even the multiplayer, if you have online is fun.

    With that said, the last game I played was Xenoblade Chronicles 2 many months ago. I've yet to finish it, even though I think its a great game, because of the Switch's limitations performance wise. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I'm now used to playing games that are 60fps or above at 1080p at the minimum. And even games that run at 30fps at least have to be smooth without it dipping into the 20s which a lot of major Switch games do unfortunately. However, I'll likely return to the Switch when BOTW 2 comes out later this year.

    I would say the Switch is still a great device to play many indie and mobile games that aren't as graphically intense, if the Steam Deck didn't exist and did a better job. Even legacy Nintendo games run better on the Steam Deck.
