Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (Change)
Publisher: Ubisoft / Developer: Ubisoft
75% off – it was £ 29.99 / € 39.99, now £ 7.49 / € 9.99 until June 27, 2021
Mario + Rabbids Battle Battle it’s a must have for Switch-owning fans of turn-based tactical games. More importantly, such is the style and depth on offer that it’s also ideal for those who haven’t played much of the genre, for which “X-COM” sounds like a stupid acronym from a war movie. He introduces the concept in the best way possible, and then uses his ideas for what becomes a clever, surprising, and sometimes delightfully challenging experience. Although he doesn’t really like the Rabbids, this game – and its famous Mario cast and setting – is so good that Ubisoft’s mascots become cute. Well, almost.

FAR: Lone Sails (Change eShop)
Publisher: Mixtvision / Developer: Vertical
50% off – it was £ 13.49 / € 14.99, now £ 6.74 / € 7.49 until June 27, 2021
Without saying a word, FAR: Lone sails it conveys a poignant tale of hope and perseverance, masterfully balancing style with substance for an experience that feels as sublime as it seems. Of course, one could grumble about their relative relativity, the occasional obtuse puzzles and the very, very much minor control problems, but these problems resolve once invested in travel. We highly recommend you to give it a go.
The Talos Principle: Deluxe Edition (Change eShop)
Publisher: Digital Return / Developer: Croteam
75% off – it was £ 26.99 / € 29.99, now £ 6.74 / € 7.49 until June 27, 2021
Croteam, the creators of The Talos Principle, were first known mainly for their silly (but funny) Sam Seriu titles. The Talos Principle shows remarkable maturity and depth of scope which is perhaps surprising, but in a very good way. It raises interesting questions, allows the player to progress at their own pace – mostly in a non-linear fashion – and is a very satisfying game design piece. Absolutely fascinating and highly recommended.
Horace (Change eShop)
Publisher: 505 Games / Developer: Paul Helman
40% off – it was £ 10.99 / € 14.99, now £ 6.59 / € 8.99 until June 27, 2021
Horace it’s something very special – the only vaguely negative thing we can say about it is the fact that there are so many spectacularly brilliant indie games on Switch that are coming to your attention that we’re afraid Horace might fall a little down the road. If you have any interest in an excellent level concept, excellent storytelling, exceptional art, evocative music, great characters, fun situations and emotional twists, Horace is an intruder. He moves without being manipulative, intelligent without being playful, and nostalgic without being a lazy remnant. It’s a platform, but it’s so much no longer than what. Buy this.

Publisher: Humble Bundle / Developer: Greg Lobanov
75% off – it was £ 17.99 / € 19.99, now £ 4.49 / € 4.99 until June 27, 2021
If you want a unique experience, Cantu vagabondu it has completely covered you. The singing mechanic employs operas perfectly, and although it may seem a little too easy at times, the combination of visuals, writing, and various gameplay goals in a generous seven-act structure make for an incredibly compelling platforming experience that would be well worth checking out.
The Last Fire (Change eShop)
Publisher: Hello Games / Developer: Hello Games
50% off – it was £ 13.49 / € 14.99, now £ 6.74 / € 7.49 until June 27, 2021
The Last Fire it’s an unusually free-form puzzle adventure that fills its six-hour game time with puzzles of all kinds. While a few puzzle concepts deserve more time in the spotlight – or they could support healthy games for themselves – the game’s commitment to new ideas makes for a refreshing change of pace. He comes from the main creative team behind WiiWare’s favorite LostWinds, now with Hello Games No Man’s Sky fame, and this delightful puzzle-filled adventure is proof that the developer doesn’t have to build a universe from scratch for fun.
Hypnospace Outlaw (Change eShop)
Publisher: No More Robots / Developer: Project
60% off – it was £ 15.49 / € 17.19, now £ 6.19 / € 6.87 until 15 Jul 2021
Hypnospace Outlaw it’s really like nothing else out there; at the same time an excellent puzzle game, a sharp satire and a meticulously crafted slice of nostalgia of the early internet that can spend hours absolutely lost. It’s often funny things that are impeccably well written throughout the plan, managing to successfully bring out the crazy, lawless. , the first race of creativity that formed the pre-Y2K era of the internet convinces back to life. It offers a truly extraordinary recreation of the Internet GeoCities era that absolutely encapsulates its 90s aesthetic to present a living and breathable world that is a joy to spend time navigating around, absorbing the atmosphere and reliving the early anarchist days of the Internet as he slowly solved the puzzles at the heart of his narrative.

50% off – it was £ 4.99 / € 5.49, now £ 2.49 / € 2.74 until June 27, 2021
Florence it is an evocation of the beauty, sadness, and hope that comes from every human connection we make in our lives, whether with art, nature, or another person. It’s a succinct and incredibly successful exploration of moments you’ll recognize from your own life, and the way you reflect your thoughts and feelings through small game mechanics makes it one of the most affective experiences we’ve ever loved in Switch, or any other platform.
Firewatch (Change eShop)
Publisher: Weather in Campu Santu / Developer: Weather in Campu Santu
70% off – it was £ 14.99 / € 19.99, now £ 4.49 / € 5.99 until June 27, 2021
Firewatch it’s as fascinating and enchanting on Switch as it was the first time. From the warm glow of its forests in the light of the summer morning to the subtle tension of exploring a rocky gorge in the secluded silence of the night, the Shoshone National Forest is a character in itself. With a story that’s both fun and harrowing – and reinforced by some brilliant performances from its two central actors – this is an essential acquisition, regardless of whether you’re playing it for the first time on Switch or simply using it as an excuse to revisit an old favorite.
Ape Out (Change eShop)
Publisher: Digital Return / Developer: Gabe Cuzzillo
50% off – it was £ 13.49 / € 14.99, now £ 6.74 / € 7.49 until June 27, 2021
The Nintendo eShop would be a much more exciting and interesting place if it was full of games like that Ape Out. It’s an original refreshing experience that deserves more than a place in the library of any Switch owner. A difficult, frantic playing game, a strong art direction, and an even louder jazz drum soundtrack make this the kind of memorable game you can always keep coming back and forth for another little run in. arcade mode. We will give Ape Out a strong recommendation to anyone looking for a distinct and unforgettable game for their Switch collection; it’s a bit of a acquired taste, but well worth your time.
And with the growing trend of games rushing to just cents, here’s our sub-£ 1/1 € selection for a super good game that’s worth the memory space it takes up on your Switch …

95% off – it was £ 19.99 / € 19.99, now £ 0.99 / € 0.99 until July 22, 2021
A point-and-click adventure game with a brilliant 60s style and an intriguing story, we missed review Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise, even if Nintendo Life readers brought it to our attention. It’s a stylish little adventure and well worth investigating if you’re a fan of the secret agent not seriously intrigued by the classic (or should be cla-shic?) James Bond flavor.
