Nintendo Switch over the years has had some really good games. Third-person action-adventure games, social simulators, first-person shooters, and driving games. It basically covered a number of genres, and most of those games were praised very highly.

Now that Nintendo’s hybrid console has completed one more year of its life, years of mostly staying at the top of sales charts, Let us take a look at the 5 best-reviewed games for Nintendo Switch that were released in 2022.

The Portal Companion collection – 96 on Metacritic

This collection features two first-person puzzle games. Both are full of numerous physics-based puzzles and the kind of meta-commentary that still holds weight. The first part is a brilliant puzzle game. While the second adds a bunch of brilliant voice actors and a very dark story to the mix.

Also, let us not forget the excellent co-op mode in Portal 2.

Persona 5 Royal – 94 on Metacritic

Persona 5 Royal is the latest in the series of Japanese role-playing games with social simulator aspects to it. This game has a story that is just mind-blowing. It has gameplay mechanics that are just way too engaging.

Its visuals look just too good for their own good and its music is something people literally listen to while playing other games.

Neon White – 88 on Metacritic

One of the trippiest games on Nintendo Switch. It’s a first-person game where players parkour through stunning levels and defeat their enemies using a combat system that is a mix of card collection and shooting.

When someone says genre-bending, this is what they are usually talking about. This game just surprises you in every way.

With its visuals, with its music and with its fast passed gameplay.

Tunic – 88 on Metacritic

In Tunic, you play as a fox. It is exploring a world that it does not understand. It does not know the language of that world and it does not know where’s what. We explore it and we unlock the map. We defeat enemies and bosses and we start understanding the place a little better, as we learn its language.

Aside from being stunning to look at and having very satisfying gameplay, this game has a very defined sense of progression to it.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe – 87 on Metacritic

This might be one of the most creative games ever made. It is mostly a walking simulator where players interact with stuff now and then. This interaction progresses the story, and during all this, there’s a narrator who keeps narrating the story.

It eventually leads towards a crossroad where players have to make a choice.
