Being someone who works mostly late shifts, I’ve recently found myself on the couch late playing my Switch. Every so often I’ll sift through the hundreds of games on the eShop, looking for something new to play that I haven’t really seen anyone talking about. Here is some of those, and some that are well-known. Basically, here’s some dope Switch games.

Death Coming is a weird puzzle game where you go around a massive map and figure out how to kill as many people as possible. It didn’t control great on the Switch, but it was passable enough for me to complete it. It reminded me of another game that I like a lot: Party Hard, but on a much larger scale. My favorite level is the very last bonus level, where instead of killing everyone, you want to try to kill only specific people and avoid killing everyone else. I’d love to see a sequel to this with more levels like the latter.

Dandy Dungeon is a beautifully bizarre game. You play as an ojisan who is a game dev by day… game dev by night. But at home, he’s working on his own unique RPG which you “test” for him. And he’s also got a crush on a girl who is way too young for him. It’s a strange experience with a lot of weird old men, and it’s a lot of fun trying to efficiently complete dungeons, collect outfits, and upgrade your gear.

Forager is much more well-known than the others on this list, but I still needed to say something about it. It’s a farming game, it’s a mining game, it’s an idle game, it’s a dress-up game… this game has everything. Towards the end, I had so many buffs going, making my global items work fast, that my friend thought it was a sick beat and starting rapping to it. Just try it, you’ll probably like it.

Songbird Symphony is a lovely, musical adventure that I both already like and want to like more. The first half of the game is extremely fun and adorable, with there being several cute sidequests to build upon the background music, and clever rhythm challenges. However, the second half of the game fell flat for me, feeling like the side quests went away entirely only to focus on main story quests, and the rhythm challenges hitting a major spike from being doable to near impossible to perfect with no difficulty settings. Luckily (?) there is no way to fail, so even if you screw up immensely you still pass. Regardless, I had fun exploring the bird world and meeting all the characters. Oh, and some of the songs are real bangers. There’s no actual singing, but I felt like I knew how the words were sang based on their creative usage of instruments.
