Which Switch game should I play next?

[ExhaustedWalrus]

I am trying to beat some of the games I have on switch, but never got around to. I've never played any of these.

I'm in the mood for something long-ish, don't mind an RPG but I like games with exploration and open worlds. I've never really played a DQ game either.

 

[julia crawford]

DQ11 is literally a gift from god.

 

[Leo]

Dragon Quest is amazing, and will get you into the series, so you will have several incredible games to play next.

 

[Faiyaz]

If you want to play the best jRPG of this generation, I would recommend Dragon Quest XI.

 

[tim1138]

Dragon Quest for sure!

 

[Fanuilos]

I'd recommend DQXI. It's a good, cozy game for the winter months.

 

[Fat4all]

where's undertale

 

[JustTom]

I'd go for Luigis Mansion 3 or Astral Chain (which I am playing right now). The latter is an underrated game imho. Really enjoying it.

Already played it my friend. Amazing game

 

[Fat4all]

but for real, Luigis Mansion 3 is both satisfying and chill

 

[Borgus]

I'd say go for Okami HD. Its got its flaws but I appreciated that it wanted to have Zelda in its DNA without just straight up ripping the series off. Such a great world to immerse yourself in.

Yeah - as someone who just completed it (it was my Halloween game) - can't recommend it enough. Challenging, fun, doesn't overstay its welcome, really great visuals (Luigi's animations are worth it alone), and great gameplay.

Just an all around great package that really doesn't leave you wanting for anything.

 

[Diogo Arez]

Xenoblade is my GOAT RPG probably, DQXI is great but playing Xenoblade DE this year after only playing Xenoblade X on launch was a godlike experience

 

[King Kingo]

 

[KeyChainDude]

Luigi's Mansion 3, for the halloween vibes.

Also, it is my favorite game on the Switch to date, so I can't recommend it enough. Really clever puzzles and fun exploration.

 

[giapel]

Luigi's Mansion 3 is essential and the length is perfect. There's some fine games on your list but they skew a bit on the too long.

 

[dipship31]

If you've never played Xenoblade previously on Wii or 3DS I'd say go for that.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Luigi's Mansion 3 is the best game on that list. Go for it.

Okami is also incredible and heartwarming.

 

[Deleted member 63122]

Three of those games deserve more sales and exposure, them three being Astral Chain, DQXIS and Xenoblade. Can't go wrong with either one.

 

[NioA]

Astral Chain if you want the best action game of this gen, Dragon Quest XI if you want the best jrpg of this gen, Xenoblade Chronicles DE if you want to play the best jrpg of last gen.
I'm actually quite envious, I wish i could experience all of this for the first time myself (since I played Xenoblade something like 5 times)

 

[Deleted member 41178]

I'd say Xenoblade, it's one of my favourite games of all time and if I'm honest I'm not the biggest JRPG fan anymore.

I really should give DQXI another go though after all the praise it gets, I just found the first few hours very dull and the combat so simple.

 

[Deleted member 23158]

My gut reaction is Astral Chain, however since you want something longish I voted for Xenoblade.

 

[Mbolibombo]

That's some great games to pick from. If I had to play them I'd go like this

Xenoblade Chronicles
Astral Chain
Luigi's Mansion 3

 

[9-Volt]

Get the short ones out of the way before going in on longer stuff. Luigi, Astral Chain and Marvel. They're the shorter games. Rest could count for at least 250 hours in total.

 

[Aki]

Okami is such an amazing game. Go for that one!

 

[Deleted member 10737]

i'd say okami, but those are all great games, can't really go wrong. except maybe mua3.

 

[mrfusticle]

Voted for Luigi out of those.. would've been DQXI of it wasn't for the god awful music.... And sexism ofc

 

[StayMe7o]

I haven't played any of those other games, but Luigi's Mansion is fun to go through and doesn't take too long to beat (if you don't grab everything). My biggest gripe is with the camera/right-stick controls as I've never gotten completely used to it, so I'm not always able to do what I want and have to struggle a bit.

 

[Pyro]

Based on your description, Xenoblade. DQ11's world doesn't compare.

 

[blame space]

based on your parameters, you should get n++.

 

[Pascal]

You should play Okami.

 

[Liliana]

If you've never played Xenoblade before then easily that. Amazing game!

 

[criteriondog]

Xenoblade Chronicles. I just finished it for the third time last night and the game is truly amazing.

 

[Bushido]

Played most of these, my favs in order:

1. Xenoblade Chronicles
2. Luigi's Mansion 3 (was my GOTY last year)
3. Astral Chain
4. Okami HD
5. Dragon Quest XI
6. Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Apart from Marvel I think you can't go wrong with any of these.

 

[Rapscallion]

it's between Dragon Quest and Xenoblade. Both games are top tier JRPGs. I suppose if you have never played a DQ, why not take the dive?

 

[Booya_base]

DQ11 is a 9/10 but Xenoblade is a 10, play it all the way through you won't regret it.

 

[fiendcode]

You can't go wrong with any of those. Well, except MUA3.

 

[Dr. Mario]

1. Luigi's Mansion
2. Xenoblade
3. Astral chain
4. Dragon Quest
5. Okami

Haven't played MUA, but I'm pretty sure it would end up number six anyway.

Luigi is not particularly challenging, but aside from that it's the only one that's great from start to finish, constantly surprising you with new things. XB1, AC and Okami have great highs but also stretches of tedium (and XB2 and Bayonetta 2 on the same system are better, yes I said XB2 is better). DQ I really want to like because it's so gorgeous but the whole game is just kinda there, you already played this game 300 times even if you never played a DQ before. Anyway it's still well liked, and the top three I heartily recommend. Okami is the only one I couldn't really get through, but that could be me.
