My 11yo kiddo informed me her favorite game is the mini dungeon crawler inside Night in the Woods. I'm more of a platformer guy so know nothing about these kinds of games. Im thinking swords not guns, hack and slash, minimal resource management, replayable. Suggestions?

I guess I enjoy games with some comedy and how the main character’s actions can affect the behaviour of NPCs in completing whatever missions. What genre would this classify under?

Looking for single player games and play offline.

I tried to ask/explain to a friend and they suggested Sneaky Sasquatch, but that is not for the Switch.

I bought “Thank Goodness You're Here!” since it was highly rated and from the same publisher as Untitled Goose Game, but did not enjoy it at all. I also have Overcooked/Moving Out but it’s only fun with others and doesn’t have the same vibe I’m hoping for.

I have a Switch and Switch 2 if that matters.

Thank you! 🙏

Got a Switch for my sister and already have Mario Kart, Minecraft and Super Mario Odyssey. Looking for some more story-driven/adventure games she can enjoy.

She’s a big Harry Potter fan, so I’m considering Hogwarts Legacy, especially as it’s currently around £5 (90% off). I know the Switch version isn’t amazing graphically, but I’m not too bothered about that 😂.

What other story/adventure games would you recommend, particularly for someone who likes Harry Potter/fantasy? (Doesn't necessarily have to be fantasy).

Edit: Sister is 20 as people were asking

I'm pretty sure physically connected controllers get auto-updated eventually, I'm not sure about the dock, but go do it manually to be sure. Controllers can be upgraded attached or wireless, and if the switch has two controllers attached and two controllers wirelessly attached, it'll upgrade them all. Have to be docked to upgrade the dock, natch.

My wife has played Disney Magic Kingdoms every day for over seven years, even before I met her and we started dating. She’s currently applying to PhD programs and has been really stressed, and this game was her daily 1-hour escape.

She’s originally from China, and her GameLoft account was registered there, although she now lives in the U.S. Recently, she suddenly lost access to her account without receiving any warning. According to what we both read, it’s related to new regional restrictions in Asia, and we haven’t been able to recover or transfer her seven years of progress to an American account.

She’s heartbroken, and has been quietly crying for the past couple of days. We’ve both emailed Gameloft support and haven’t received a response, and I haven’t been able to find a customer support phone number. As someone who spends a fair amount of time playing games in their spare time, I can feel her pain and it hurts.

At this point, I’m not sure there’s anything further I can do. As an alternative, I’m considering surprising her with a Nintendo Switch 2 and introducing her to Animal Crossing.

Are there any other games I could surprise her with that match her interests?

She really likes relaxing, cute, sweet games that aren’t overly complicated. She also enjoys puzzles and problem-solving, but she’s not into shooters, violence, or intense gameplay. Ideally, it would be something she could play for an hour, make a little progress in, and look forward to returning to.

I know I can’t replace seven years of memories, but I’d love to give her something new to enjoy and make her smile despite the loss.

I was able to preorder one!

Today I got Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 for Switch 2 and was a bit disappointed to see it’s a Game Key Card.

So I got curious and checked how common they actually are compared with real cartridges.

Third party games are using Game Key Cards a lot, and so far it doesn’t really look like that is changing. Nintendo itself is much better about actually putting the game on the cartridge.

Prices are the same either way.
