12. Metroid Dread
The newcomer on the list is Metroid Dread. A fantastic throwback to the 2D Metroid games. We loved the new abilities like the Phantom Cloak that turns Samus invisible and gives an element of stealth to the challenging gameplay it takes on.
The Nintendo Switch hardware is a perfect 60FPS all the way through, with very little slowdown ever found within this epic gameplay experience.
Coming in at 10 hours to complete the main storyline, there’s lots to see here in Metroid Dread. With tons of goodies along the way to pick up if you’re a completionist, you can be searching for hours for that last missile pickup.
We absolutely adored Metroid Dread and it makes for quite the gameplay experience.
