10 Insanely Good Free Switch Games

10. The Elder Scrolls: Blades

We all love the Elder Scrolls games. Well, maybe not all of us, but even in this day and age you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t like them or, rarer yet, hasn’t played one. We thought it peaked with Oblivion, but then Skyrim released in 2011 and the gaming community went wild. Yes, 2011 Bethesda, almost a decade - where’s Elder Scrolls VI?

While we’re all growing more and more impatient waiting for another high-fantasy Bethesda release for our favourite award-winning game series, we are left with only a few options. We could always play Elder Scrolls Online; it’s constantly gaining new material and seems to be all that Bethesda is focusing on right now. Some people aren’t into MMOs however, and even for those who are there are arguably much superior MMOs out there.

Another option is The Elder Scrolls: Blades, which has you playing as a survivor from the legendary Blades, a group of skilled bodyguards once ordered to protect royalty, who are now in exile. Seeking revenge on those who destroyed your hometown, you’ll discover the secrets of a hidden crypt and the true motivations of the Bloodfall Queen.

This game is perfect for the players who just want to grind, slaughtering your way through dungeons to acquire enough loot to keep rebuilding the ruins that were once your home.
