Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash

One of my all time favorites, one of the games you should get as soon as you get your switch. I got the game in 2017 for Christmas and that is what I call a Nintendo game! The main gimmick is that Mario's hat (Cappy) can be thrown at things, animals, and people to let you control them. It works very well and lets you get around easily by throwing Cappy around, the controls feel natural and throwing Cappy feels great. The best level in the game is New Donk City imo (the reason I wanted the game in the first place). The soundtrack is great, and it's fun to go through and unlock the OST and listen to it through the music player. It's very upbeat. The game was challenging but not frustrating, just the perfect level of difficulty. I love how Nintendo kept their tradition of having a new gimmick or mechanic specific to one game, like Mario Sunshine's F.L.U.D.D and Galaxy's ability to use your cursor to pick up items and shoot them, and the whole galaxy thing. It's a great game, worth picking up 100%

This game probably changed my life. It was one of the first video games I've ever played (I played when I was around 4, my cousins brought a copy of the game and put it on our xbox), which opened a whole new world to me, of what a video game could be. I was familiar with racing cars endlessly without story, Minecraft which was infinite, and other stupid iPhone games that I had. None of which had a real story, or objective except "get through it". This game completely flipped that around, having a story mode with lots of chambers. I'm not gonna spoil it, since it's one of the best stories in a video game I've ever played, but basically, you are woken up in a facility, you meet this crazy blue sphere and accidentally wake up a killer robot who tries to make you test and... well... just see for yourself. But really, this game has so much content and so many hours of fun to be had. The steam version lets you download chambers from the internet (SOME OF WHICH ARE INCREDIBLE), the soundtrack is INCREDIBLE (especially the ending Jonathan Coulton song, but I will admit I am a sucker for anything JoCo), and after you finish campaign, there's a co-op mode. Valve really outdid themselves with it though, it has a completely different story, new levels, new characters and mechanics compared to the campaign. Do play it. This has to be my favorite game of all time, thank you Valve.
