20 Best Nintendo Switch Games

20. Golf Story

Lets kick things off with perhaps the single most surprising masterpiece on the Switch - Golf Story.

This sports-themed RPG came totally out of nowhere from Sidebar Games in 2017, and immediately charmed players with its quirky story, delightful characters, and retro art style, fused with deceptively deep golf gameplay.

Even if you're no fan of golf as a sport, the game does a fantastic job of making it entertaining and accessible, albeit while offering a surprising level of pushback the further through the story you get.

And if that's not enough, there's also a ton of fun side content here to ably lure you off the putting green.

Though more of a modest commercial success than most of the games on this list, Golf Story remains a much-loved cult fave for doing something genuinely creative and adorable with the well-trod sports game formula. 

It's just a shame that Sidebar's spiritual sequel, Sports Story, was an abject mess on launch and failed to replicate its predecessor's success.
