MODERATORS
If you like RPGs, I believe you can play all of the Xenoblade Chronicles games on Switch now (besides X, which is an offshoot anyway).
Granted, these three games will take a good 300 hours to beat. But they are excellent. If you simply don’t have time for that (and that’s totally understandable), then watching a big recap of XC1 and XC2 and playing XC3 could also work. I don’t know if I’ve cried harder in a game than I did in at least two occasions in XC3. It was easily my favorite game of 2022.
If you like strategy games, then Fire Emblem: Three Houses is my favorite on the Switch, there. There’s a newer Fire Emblem, but it’s not as good (so I hear).
Pikmin 4 is right around the corner as well. There’s a demo you can try to see if it’s up your alley.
Big vouch for Xeno series. Easily some of the best 400+ hours I've spent gaming (I completed new game + for each title as well).
I really liked Xenoblade 1 on Wii but couldn’t get into 2 and I didn’t even try 3.
The first game felt so massive and it wasn’t too heavy on the anime tropes (I could be misremembering).
XC2 is definitely the weakest link. And it has the most anime stuff (giant boobie girls for no reason. I mean, I like Pyra and Mythra as characters, but their designs are silly).
XC3 doesn’t have any of that. There’s some “the characters are fighting and having conversations” stuff that’s maybe a little anime, but all three have that. I just think XC3 has a wonderful story. You get the main cast of characters pretty early on, and then have 100 hours to get to know them, so when the story really kicks into gear you really feel for them. Or at least I did.
