If it starts to feel like a job, well, maybe that’s the game’s point.
Even after realizing this it’ll take many minutes and many lives to finish everything you know you need to do, tiny bits of incremental progress in-between passages of rote, mundane, repetitive busy work. After all these minutes and all these lives the true story reveals itself, and to reach the end you have to collect item after item, life after life, to eventually have the skills necessary to grind the factory to a halt. Behind it all is a maniacal manager prioritizing productivity over all else.
After enough stop and start minutes you’ll realize a factory is running roughshod over this place, polluting the land and working some of its employees to the bone while firing others whose jobs can now be done by machines. Minit is an adventure with a twist and also a critique of capital split up into tiny bite-sized chunks and told through adorable animals in a sparsely drawn fantasy land. A lot of co-op games barely require you to acknowledge your partner, but Snipperclips practically forces you to talk through each scenario, like you’re working together on a jigsaw puzzle or at an “escape the room” style event. That might mean perfectly filling an outline on the screen, or snipping one character into a point that they can use to pop a balloon, or even just balancing a basketball or pencil as you carry it from one edge to the other. You can rotate and tilt them freely into the necessary positions, and even use them to cut each other into different shapes in order to accomplish whatever goals are before you. Snipperclips is an adorable puzzle game that focuses on partnership and cooperation, as you and a friend control two papercraft buddies who are trying to arrange themselves in specific shapes or perform certain actions in order to move on to the next screen.

The Switch’s digital eShop is full of games that you can download, and the Switch racks at most retailers easily outnumber the Wii U’s at its peak. With success comes support, and the Switch has consistently seen far more support from other companies than the Wii U ever saw after its launch. With a constant stream of great software, and the addition of an OLED screen, there’s a lot of juice left in the Switch.Įverybody with a Switch knows about Animal Crossing and Super Mario Odyssey, but there are many great games for the system beyond Nintendo’s core classics. Like, Disco Elysium, one of our favorites of 2019, and, if anything, a game we actually underrated at the time, recently found what might be its ideal home on the Switch. Not only does Nintendo continue to pump out some of the best games for its own console, but the Switch has become home to some of the best multiplatform games released over the last few years.
Animal Crossing and the pandemic helped kick it into overdrive, and that momentum has kept up throughout 2022. The Switch might have just celebrated its sixth birthday, but Nintendo’s little box is still thriving.
