My Top 3 Personal Picks

There are a ton of great games on this week’s Switch Best Sellers list, and I’m here to recommend my three favorite picks.

Limbo

Limbo is a short-but-sweet black and white adventure game about trying to find your sister in the depths of a foreboding world filled with puzzles and threats.

I’ve purchased this multiple times on various systems and the experience is always memorable, challenging, and fun.

Monster Hunter Rise (Deluxe Edition)

Monster Hunter Rise is the apex (pun intended) action game for the Nintendo Switch. Defeating large monsters solo or with my friends online, crafting cool looking stronger gear, and then repeating this loop is the most fun and accessible it has ever been.

A real time-sink and addictive experience that now ranks as my fifth most played Nintendo Switch game of all time (all within 30 days of launch).

Also comes in a deluxe edition with extra goodies.

OlliOlli:: Switch Stance

OlliOlli: Switch Stance contains two 2D skateboarding games that revitalized my love for the genre and sport. Honestly, OlliOlli is my favorite skateboarding game since the Tony Hawk series’ heyday.

OlliOlli feels unique and is crafted from 2D pixel art, relying on reflexive button presses that are challenging to master but satisfying to learn.

This is a great value package if you’re looking for skateboarding fun on the Nintendo Switch.
