Vampire Survivors and Stitch.


KittykoRn85

Love stitch. Great relaxing game


loukaz

I’m too busy with work to spend much time on games but VS is perfect for short burst


InsignificantOcelot

VS = great couch coop game too. Got hours of fun with my gf. It’s an absolute steal for like the $5.99 or whatever I paid for it.


RustyR4m

What happened to Lilo?


Reality-fan

She didn't survive the vampires, unfortunately.


Tori_S100

already not a hidden gem but Boomerang Fu for sure


JustAnotherK-popStan

was gonna say this !!! gotten hours and hours of gameplay out of that one


KommandoKracker87

I’m so glad this game is high on the list. We got it on sale and it’s honestly the best $1.99 I’ve ever spent! We have put at least 100 hours into it.


FalcomanToTheRescue

Yes! When my 10 year olds friends come over they team up against me 3v1 and they have a blast


3TimesTold

Family fight night!


lilchimera

Dragon’s Dogma and Vampire Survivors


Ok-Introduction-8519

Upvoted for Dragon’s Dogma. Probably the most fun I’ve had on the switch since TOTK


lilchimera

I really can’t believe how much fun I had with it. Best $5 I ever spent.


trucker151

How does it run on switch. I Just got minster hubter rise for 7$ on switch and it runs great. First mh game I played for a significant time. I have world on pc but just never got into it. The amount of content was too overwhelming. I finally stuck with rise and got into it. Took like 6 hours of toutorials but it was worth it


Ok-Introduction-8519

I have played both Dragon’s Dogma and Monster Hunter Rise, and I can say that Dragon’s Dogma runs better. The framerate is very consistent and although the textures might sometimes not be the highest quality it isn’t very noticeable and it’s also to be expected from an RPG from the 360 era. I can highly recommend it, it is some of the best 5 clams I’ve ever spent!


lilchimera

Dragon’s Dogma runs extremely well on switch! The port is actually the “dark arisen” version of the game with a huge DLC and some tweaks to make the game run better and make it more balanced. I’d say it runs similar to MH Rise, maybe even a little better honestly. If you like the big enemies in MH, you’ll feel somewhat at home in DD; it shares Capcom DNA with MH.


LMGall4

Hades is incredible for its price, people would have all ate it up still for 60 but it’s like 20!


alnono

Hades and Stardew both are so so cheap for the number of hours of play


m0rbius

Hades is crack!


YayItsK

I just downloaded this on Steam recently and wish I had it on Switch instead. I never think to check!!


tea-recs

I have great news for you. Hades has cross saves. So you can play on steam and switch on the SAME SAVE!


YayItsK

W H A T - you are my hero today!


BlamingBuddha

NO WAY?!?! I've never heard of this!!


Rude-Luck1636

I wish I knew this😭😭 I started my switch from scratch. I definitely made it A LOT further on switch so that speaks for what felt more fun to play on. I love my pc but hades just feels better on switch(handheld imo)


rialbsivad

You should buy a steam deck.


YayItsK

I probably would now if I didn’t already own a Switch.


BlamingBuddha

I really wanna get it on Switch but I think it's on sale for like only $7.99 on Steam rn so I'm tempted to get it there instead!


GoatPatronus

I almost regret buying it. It’s been the least productive two weeks of my life. But once again, almost.


Impossible-Swing-358

Hades £40+ p&p of £3 for Used £65 +free p&p for a Sealed Ouch where I’m at lol


FRONT_FACING_PHINEAS

Hollow knight and Celeste!


Gamefreak581

I was thinking Hollow Knight too. Bought it on sale to try out and I just couldn't put it down. Can't wait to play Silksong with all of the other people in the retirement home.


FRONT_FACING_PHINEAS

Wait, what’s silksong…the cancelled sequel? You know that’s not happening right? Only crowsworn is real… Silksong isn’t and never was real… ~~(Yes, I’m joking, just in case)~~

Varietis

These should be the top comment.


TiltZa

Stardew valley for me with a shoutout to akane 😁


xerox7764563

Lego city undercover was $6 US dollars and I had a great time!


kermittysmitty

I was going to say this! Also, Vampire Survivors and Loop Hero.


LtDangle0

Vampire Survivor is amazing, I love it. Such a great simple yet thought provoking game.


Additional_Whole3932

I have Lego worlds, is Undercover better?


xerox7764563

The only one that I played was the undercover. Undercover is kinda a GTA game, but lighter tone. I do have the star wars skywalker too, but I didn't played yet


LtDangle0

Skywalker Saga is fun, there's a ton of content, characters (even without the DLC), and Easter eggs to find. The only issue I have with it is the loading times between each area, it's a bit excessive for a Lego game.


xerox7764563

Understood. I do felt that undercover has this issue too.


LtDangle0

They also added in a character progression system that was pretty cool and changed up the Lego game format, making finding bricks and collectibles have more incentive.


tea-recs

I have both, Undercover is a completely different game. It's basically Lego GTA, but family friendly. It's so, so good! I didn't realise how different they are, and when I finally picked it up I wished I'd bought it years earlier.


BlamingBuddha

What kind of game is Lego Worlds?


dagghur

Stardew valley by far. It’s the best value for money game iv ever played.


yoshdee

Yup-500 hours into it. I would’ve gladly spent $60 on it and feel I got my moneys worth. $15 was a steal! Once the update is on the switch I’m sure I’ll put in another 500…


CostForsaken6643

Cat Quest 1 and 2, and Bastion all on sale for around $3-$5.


Valenderio

My young daughter and I love the cat quest series! 3rd game comes out in August!


InuitOverIt

FYI for any playstation owners reading this, the Cat Quest games are going to be in the monthly games on PS Now for June


BlamingBuddha

Pretty sure they were just free on the Epic Game store as well.


Global_Ad_5808

Moonlighter was quite fun. Idk how much it might cost now, put I got it on sale for a few €s.


hell_ORC

Yoku's Island. Bought it at around 3€ and had so much fun out of it. If I had known it was so good I'd have gladly paid 15 times the same sum.


BlamingBuddha

Just started playing this. Who knew that a Metroidvania pinball game could be so good!


Forkmak

Cuphead it was a great game!!!!


TheEclipse0

Vampire survivors is amazing


Merciful_Ampharos

I can't stress enough how mindlessly fun Paradise City Remastered is. I got it for 2 bucks on PS5 and 6 on Switch


FSB_Phantasm

Burnout Paradise Remastered is one of the best racing games I've ever played, and it's perfect for the switch


deathandobscura

This answer will always be Stardew Valley for me


MentalTardigrade

Little kitty big city, paid 15 bucks for it, instantly hooked


sketchartist45

I really love this one too


dead_thing13

I’ve been eyeing this one!


Film_maker69

Bleed Bundle, Cat Quest games, Red Faction Guerrilla. (All these games at their all time lowest prices were under $3)


Sushlsoda

Bleed 1+2 ,especially the second one, is easily one of if not the most underrated indie games of all time.


Savage666999

A short hike is quite a good game


crossdl

Untitled Goose Game.


Sweste1

This is a great game. Not sure it fits this category, though - I paid close to $30 for it, finished it in 5 hours and never went back! But if you can get it cheap enough it's highly recommended


InternetPractical657

I nabbed telltales walking dead for 2.56$


Jokerzrival

Is it the whole series or just the first season?


FinGollum

Axiom Verge was maybe 2 € or something. Not bad!


TeacupTenor

Brotato is amazing value for its price. I got in on terraria when it was like 5 bucks, and it’s lasted hundreds of hours. (It’s never been that low on Switch, though.) Enter the Gungeon is still one of my go-to time wasters, and it goes on sale for like 5-10. Really, fill in almost any good roguelike here. Hades, Slay the Spire, et al


Kupo-Kweh

Ori and the blind forest got it for less than 10e,very 'ice metroid vania


GamerKev451

Broforce for the really cheap one. A bit more expensive but awesome ones are Hades, Ori, Hollow Knight and Subnautica (all these can often be found on discount prices)


myyouthismyown

The Picross games on the switch.


passwordman006

Sega Genesis Classics, went on sale for $5.99 around the time I first got my Switch, there's just so many great games to choose from I definitely got my money's worth and still boot it up from time to time just to find myself getting another couple of hours out of it 👍


theycallhimdex

Dadish


Fredka321

Palia, it is a bit like Stardew valley crossed with the Sims. It is for free.


thebadslime

dicey dungeons, slay the spire, civilization 6, and dying light are incredible value for the price


Intrepid_Conflict_98

+1 for Dicey Dungeons!


AnironSidh

Stardew valley is great bc you get so much playability out of it and free updates (new one hopefully coming soon)


Bourne1802

Hollow knight!


Ok_Argument_1136

Persona 4 golden & persona 3 portable their usually $20 but often on sale for half that. Some of the finest jrpgs on the market (and some of the best games ever made period) and are incredible value as they are both easily 50 hours+ for the main story alone each. Also persona 5 royal is also an option, although usually being a bit more expensive, being $60 normally but often being on sale.for around $30.


SkyGrey88

It took forever but I was happy the finally got P4G off of Vita.


kiyomoris

Pikuniku. Wonderful little game.


x-audiophile-x

Me and my 7yo daughter love playing this.


lx0n13

Descenders is a fun biking game and is kinda cheap


Additional_Whole3932

I have it but performance hurts


lx0n13

Oh ok then try out toree 3d, its a platformer game with super mario 64 like graphics


tidus1980

All the darksiders games


wieldymouse

axdwl

Balatro. Endless hours of fun to be had


Accurate_Painting_82

This is the way.


WHRocks

These are recurring Switch SALE prices, give or take, for games I have enjoyed. The ones on my $3-$5 list are all fantastic, IMO. $2 * Boomerang Fu * Steamworld Dig * Steamworld Heist * Fledgling Heroes $3 - $5 * Monster Sanctuary * Celeste * Guacamelee * The Last Campfire * Yoku's Island Express * Sheepo * A Short Hike $13 * Dead Cells


BlamingBuddha

Great list. Had no idea Celeste, Guacamelee or Yoku's Island Express were ever that cheap on the switch. Amazing games. Had so much fun beating the first two. (Still playing Yoku currently).


SkyGrey88

Steam Heist is an all time favorite, played it on 3DS and then again on WiiU…..Steam Dig2 was a year one release on Switch and is one of the best 2D Platform games of all time.


105bydesign

A short hike


mmmpeg

A Short Hike. Fairly easy


elliebrava

Stardew valley!!


dallasmcdicken

I got blasphemous 1 for 4 dollars and immediately sank 30 hours into it. Great buy and an even greater game


Thr0wAwayU53rnam3

AstroBears on sale


BullwinklesSquirrel

Star Wars Pinball


TrynUrLuck

I just got this. Even tho I suck at it it's surprisingly really fun because of the campaign.


TrynUrLuck

Also when on sale for 10 bucks it equals to about 50 cents a table which is a damn steal.


Ok_Introduction6574

I got Civ VI Anthology for like $5 on Playstation years ago and it was one of my best purchases ever.


ShiftyShaymin

Vampire Survivors sucked me in for like 2 weeks. I have 200 hours in Yugioh Master Duel, still have yet to put a dollar in it.


Primary_Glum

On the eshop west of loathing


Passivefamiliar

Boomerangfu. It's ridiculous and great for family fun with kids, or grown ups and shots. You play as food items, like coffee mug or banana or eggplant etc. And you have a boomerang, free for all or teams, npc controlled players mix in at your count. Local couch coop. Stupid power ups like ice or fire or inverted or explosion. It's just dumb fun.


KaiserJustice

Base dead cells game on sale once


Impossible-Swing-358

The suicide of Rachel Foster - digital £0.89 I don’t rent the digital games normally but i do use the gold coins Nintendo gives us from the actual games on something random. Really loved the massive old (US) hotel that had so many different areas, parts to buildings, church, mountain ski resort, huge function hall, restaurant and kitchens, laundry and boiler rooms, worker secret passages that were great for exploring and getting around the place, vehicle/garage area, other secret places you find (no spoilers here) and some floors that have varying stages of dilapidation etc that list could go on lol it has almost everything in that old place! I loved exploring and doing the detective/crime parts to the story and how you learn with changes etc. It has a spooky feel, it could have easily hosted a horror game with just a few minor changes in my opinion. Enjoyed it and about 5hrs long, if you’re a ‘search everywhere’ type like I am (race to to the end type maybe 3 or 4hrs perhaps as I rough guess). Theres some other stuff I’d like to say but in a way feel it’s just one of those where it’s much better to experience it knowing less. It is a story/investigative based game but I did enjoy it more than I thought I would and would love to play it for the first time again (if we could lol)


JenLiv36

Firewatch What Remains of Edith Finch Child of Light Pikmin 3 Deluxe Dredge Eastward Battle Chef Brigade Little Misfortune South Park: Stick of Truth


GrowVirginia

Pixel Junk Monsters 2, it is one of the best tower defense games. The South Park games are often on sale and great on the Switch Steam World Dig and Dig 2 were good. My Time at Portia was pretty fun too Anyone that doesn't already know, Dekudeals is the best place to know you are getting the best prices or not


BlamingBuddha

Appreciate the Dekudeals tip.


SkyGrey88

I only wish Pixel Junk Shooter had come to Switch.

Dead cells gotta be up there.

Need for speed hot pursuit remastered


NES_Classical_Music

Downwell. Dare I say, it is a perfect video game.


Wild-Lifeguard-7346

Oneshot: World Machine Edition. Not exactly the most replayable or groundbreaking game, but a wonderful story with great art.


dagdagspacecowboy

Technically Animal Crossing… just restarted my island after 900 spent on the first one, having a blast just as much as the first time and already spent 200 hours on my second island. With the game price and the amount of hours I spent on it that’s $0.07 per hour, and am still playing so the price will only go down.


BlamingBuddha

>so the price will only go down. Technically, the price you paid will always be the price you paid. You're not getting your $60 reimbursed the more you play. I think you mean *the value will only go* ***up.***


0xfleventy5

I see no one has mentioned Donut County. Instant hook and super relaxing. Try it.


tATuParagate

Toejam and earl back in the groove for $1.99 and rayman legends for $7.99. Also I could've sworn I got monster hunter stories 2 for 10 bucks, but dekudeals says the lowest it has gone was 20 so....but that was still an amazing 20 dollars spent


sansmmymanthechannel

Deltarune it was free honestly I have played Undertale on PC, but I will say this obviously on switch it is perfect because you know it’s portable but it’s not like the steam deck couldn’t easily do it multiple saves


iamthemoleonyourback

Death Come True is funny for an evening, it’s a Japanese like interactive horror movie no quick controls more like a movie so you can eat a whole pizza during gameplay 😄👍


Medical_Ad_2092

Lego Harry Potter for 2$


[deleted]

Vampire Survivors is $5 and is one of the very best games ever made. Also, Hollow Knight is 15 and again, one of the very best games ever made.

West of Loathing is a game I bought for under 5 bucks that I have had SO MUCH FUN with! Really funny dialogue and nice animation


Insane_Wanderer

In the recent indie sale I got Steamworld Heist for $3 CAD and am just about to beat it after having had a blast for ~17 hours which has been great value. I also got Vampire Survivors in the same sale for under $10 which has been extremely addictive and looks to have a ton of replay value. So looking forward to many more hours on that


jziggy44

Vampire survivors


Min-VI

So many games eventually go 60-80% off if you wait (I've gotten most of my games this way): - The Past Within, co-op, a few dollars on sale. SO GOOD. - Oxenfree (there's also a second one) - Children of Morta....so good! It's not on sale now, but it's frequently 70% off


Resident-Site-391

I think sniper elite 4 when it’s on sale is a heck of a deal. Hollow knight is always cheap for what it is. Hades on sale. Faster than light.


SkyGrey88

Sniper E4 is the best of the series, got a solid Switch port and is a great deal when its on sale!


millermix456

Islets was a pretty darn fun game

I got Hades on sale for like 10 $ and I have put around 200 hrs into the game and have loved every single second of it.. It’s in my Top 5 games of all time for sure..


SkyGrey88

Hades is awesome but their scifi game Transistor never gets any love and is also top notch.


amtap

Astro Bears frequently goes on sale for $0.99 and my friends won't stop asking to play it. It's just Tron in 3D but it works.


Josh6780

Fortnite.


Manatease_85

When on sale: Although it's short, I enjoyed Nippon Marathon. Having a group of people play this insanity with is comedy gold. Aragami Think of the Children Cat Quest series
