1. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

This game did not just raise the bar, it blew it out of the sky. You’ll soon forget about real life with an open world that is so interactive and massive. This game has it all: cooking weird food combinations, surfing shields, getting struck by lightning for forgetting to unplug your metal sword, and more.

2. Super Mario Odyssey

Mario has been collecting coins for years, but in Super Mario Odyssey he takes the game to a whole new level. Cappy is his sentient hat, because why not? Mario can control objects, animals and even enemies. It’s strange, it’s fantastic, and it is peak Nintendo magic.

3. Animal Crossing New Horizons

Wanted to live on a talking island without having any responsibilities and with animals that talk? This is your chance. This game has taken the world by a storm. It proved that fishing and decorating your house can be even more fun than in real life. You don’t want to get on Tom Nook’s bad side, because he now owns your soul.

4. Metroid Dread

Samus returns and is better than ever. Metroid Dread is a fast-paced game with terrifying E.M.M.I. robots and the best 2D platforms in years. This game is perfect for those who love fast-paced gameplay and feel like a badass.

5. Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Pokemon was open-world and we were all thrilled. You can sneak up and throw PokeBalls like a Ninja at Pokemon instead of waiting for random encounters. It’s fun, refreshing and a great way to show that Pokemon has evolved (pun intended).

6. Splatoon 3

Imagine paintball with squids and killer music. It’s chaos. Splatoon 3 has a lot of fun, whether you play online or with the single player campaign. It’s also one of the only shooters in which “inking” on the floor can be a successful strategy.

7. Fire Emblem Three Houses

What’s not love about a game that allows you to be a professor and lead an army? And maybe even start a battle. This RPG is a must for RPG lovers. It has a deep storyline, strategic battles and multiple endings.

8. Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Classic JRPG goodness: open world, epic plot, characters who say “the power friendship” every 5 minutes. This game is great for those who enjoy deep narratives with action-packed battles.

9. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Do you own a Nintendo Switch if you haven’t yet played this game? It’s one the best multiplayer games out there, whether you play casually or throw controllers when hit by a shell.

10. Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Kirby has finally gone full 3D and it is both adorable and amazing. It’s strangely satisfying to watch Kirby roll around and swallow a car like a giant marshmallow.
