Based take. If you’re just jumping back in, there’s a fat backlog of GOATed games to go through. Here's a quick essentials hit list:
- **Metroid Dread** – tight af gameplay, slick visuals, a true return to form for the 2D series.
- **Luigi’s Mansion 3** – beautiful environments, fun puzzles, and oozes charm. Sleepy underrated.
- **Fire Emblem: Three Houses** – if you're into tactics + anime drama, this one slaps. Edelgard supremacy btw.
- **Xenoblade Chronicles 3** – cinematic af, amazing worldbuilding, emotional as hell, expect 100+ hrs.
- **Mario Kart 8 Deluxe** – no brainer, peak party game, and it has all the DLC now.
- **Smash Ultimate** – literally everyone is here. Peak roster, tons of content, and still active online.
- **Animal Crossing: New Horizons** – chill vibes, time sucker, good for relaxing if you're burnt out.
- **Tears of the Kingdom (Zelda)** – you’ve played BOTW, now play Daddy TotK. Crazy building mechanics and pure sandbox fun.
Bonus:
- **Bayonetta 2/3** for some stylish action
- **Astral Chain** (criminally overlooked Platinum gem)
- **Triangle Strategy or Octopath II** if you fiend for retro RPG vibes
Don’t sleep on indie bangers either-Hades, Hollow Knight, and Dead Cells run perfectly on Switch too. You're in for a beefy ride.
