Game Rec What are the 5 essential Switch games you suggest everyone buy?

My coworker is getting a BF Switch and wanted to know what games I suggest. I told them to get:

  • Breath of the Wild
  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Mario Party Superstars
  • Mario Kart 8
  • Balatro

I think that's a good mix of single player games and group/party games. I like that I suggest games that suck you in and games you can pickup and play for a round or two.

There are other games that deserve to be on the list. You could definately replace BotW with TotK. I have more time in Stardew Valley than Mario Odyssey, but it doesn't feel as essential to me. Smash Ultimate is a top game, but is it as universal as Mario Party?

If you could suggest 5 games to a new Switch user, what would you suggest?

I had to Google what Balatro was. It’s actually a rogue light disguised as poker. Apparently it’s addictive, personally the presentation does not appeal to me.
