I see tons of games that are interesting, but the price tags are crazy. I want a game I can pour hours into and my expectations are sky high for the 100 dollar price tags. The games gotta be peak, but peak is subjective and I wonder what you all consider worth it in the Switch II library as of today.

Which Switch II games are actually worth picking up?

    I think Kirby Air Riders kicks ass but some people bounced off it pretty hard. If you have the ability to try the first game it’ll give you a good idea as to if you’ll like the second.

      Agreed. I almost bounced off the first game, but after seeing Sakurai’s Direct for Air Riders, with a better understanding of how the game mechanics worked, I went back to Air Ride and warmed up to it. Air Riders completely won me over, especially with Road Trip. Such a seamless integration of the formula into a roguelite-esque single-player campaign!

    My wife got her money’s worth out of Pokopia. If the idea of a Pokemon/Stardew Valley/Minecraft hybrid appeals to you, it should be worth the money. It wasn’t developed by Gamefreak so it’s actually good

    I mean, game pricing isn’t solely a Switch 2 problem. They cost the same as any new game on any other platform, beside for Mario Kart, which I agree is a mistake and not a good look.

    I enjoyed Bananza and Pokopia. Bananza had me wanting to keep playing the entire time and Pokopia held me for 100 hours. Depends what kind of games you like. I also enjoyed Mario Kart, but you’d probably want that and something else, like DK to split your time.

    Unfortunately there just isn’t a lot of games for the Switch 2 specifically right now. A lot of games have an upgrade for the Swtich 2 like, Subnatica, Skyrim and No Man’s Sky.
