The best Nintendo Switch games - Super Mario Odyssey

What is it? Mario's biggest 3D adventure yet, taking him all over the globe for some hat-themed adventures.

Why should you buy it? If you're only buying two games for the Nintendo Switch, it has to be Zelda and it has to be Mario. Thanks to Mario's new friend Cappy, Super Mario Odyssey manages to successfully bring the series up to date by gifting Mario a ton of new moves.

By moving out of the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario feels fresh and new while still retaining every ounce of its nostalgia and retro charm - there are still ground pounds and green pipes don't worry. This is very much Mario as his best self so far, and his latest adventure looks absolutely beautiful on the Switch.

1. THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE BREATH OF THE WILD

The biggest and best showpiece for Switch. Link's world of wonder is one of the most polished, effortlessly inventive open world games ever made.
