10 essential Nintendo Switch games you might have missed that are now under $35 / £25

Snuggle in this Christmas with these festively priced Sw♏itch game treats

December is here and that means time off work and school to relax, play video games and recuperate ready for 2019. If you’ve been holding off buying any new games recently because you🐭’re waiting to see what you get during the festive period, now is the💟 time to pick up something for cheap.

For all you Nintendo Switch players out there, there’s some fantastic 𒁃games discounted to bargain prices that you can pick up to tide you over till Cღhristmas Day. First party Nintendo titles don’t often decrease in price but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to play. The Switch is home to a plethora of great third-party titles, from indie games to AAA experiences, there’s something for everyone in this list of 10 essential Nintendo Switch games from the last year you can get for almost half price.

1. Rocket League

It’s available on every major platform since it released on Nintendo Switch late last year and it’s still just as fun as ♋the day we first played. Billed as “soccer, but with rocket powered cars” by Psyonix (the developers), there’s really no other way to put it. It’s so easy to pick up but hard to put down and incredibly tough to master. They say the first time a boy is subjected to a sarcastic &ldquo💃;What a save!” is the time they truly become a man.

  • 3. L.A. Noire

    While the original 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:L.A Noire is over seven years old, it finally made its way to Switch late last year when it was remastered for the current generation of consoles. One of Rockstar’s most popular games that somehow didn’t get a sequel, L.A. Noire has you play as Cole Phelps, a detective for the L.AP.D. in 1947. It’s the same concept as most 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rockstar games: third-person action, free roam driving, except you ౠhave to solve crimes and interrogate suspects. It’s just as great on Switch as it was when it first released, so it’s a great pickup for this price.

    4. Celeste

    For something a little different, consider picking up Celeste: an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:indie game where you have to ascend a giant mountain through intense parkour, all while finding yourself and overcoming your fears and anxieties. There’s just a small cast of wonderfully written characters, and while there’s no combat, the mechanics change ꦫfrequently and new concepts are added to keep the mountainous climb interesting. The controls are quite frankly perfect, and the story will have anyone emotional by the end.

    5. Jackbox Party Pack 5

    If the newly released Super Mario Party is a little out of your reach but you want something to plaไy with family and friends this festive season, you can’t go wrong with Jackbox Pa✤rty Pack 5. Anyone can join in the fun by using a smartphone as a controller, so if you haven’t forked out for extra Joy-Cons, it doesn’t matter! Featuring six minigames including a versus rap battle, pitching creative inventions, and conjuring up “What if?” scenarios, Jackbox Party Pack 5 is fun for all the family.

    A brand new toys-to-life game in 2018? And it’s recommended?! That’s right: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starlink: Battle For Atlas is like a “distilled glass of No Man’s Sky with a twist of Destiny.” Much more accessibl💝e for kids than either of those two titles, it manages to maintain a difficulty level suitable for adults at the same time. The toys-to-life proposition can be “complicated to understand”, but the core gameplay means it was more than deserving of a four star rating when we covered it a couple of months ago. You’ll just have to stretch a tad higher than our self-imposed price limit.

    7. Moonlighter

    When you look at the dungeon crawling aspect of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Moonlighter, it’s a solid experience that sees you fighting monsters and searching for loot through procedurally generated caves. But you only do that at night. During the day, you’re a shopkeeper, selling the items you’ve acquired on your dungeon dives to other adventurers preparing for their own journeys. If Stardew Valley is your jam, Moonlighter is that but with more combat.🅰 It “betters the gameplay loop Stardew excels at.”

    8. Overcooked 2

    Cooking a meal in real life with multiple people contributing is difficult at the best of times. If that will be the case with your Christmas dinner, perhaps you can get some practice in by playing Overcooked 2? Up to four players can work together to producꦕe meals in a fast paced restaurant environment, in locations much more dangerous than your kitchen at Christmas. You’re under a stri﷽ct time limit each time and some truly wacky things can occur in the hustle and bustle of Overcooked 2’s scorching scenarios.
