10 Incredible Nintendo Switch Games You Need To Stop Ignoring

While there have been several Metroidvanias that have been discussed so far, Hollow Knight may just be the best of them. The hand-drawn aesthetic that gives HK a look all its own is just scratching the surface. This art style provides a haunting feel, representing a world that may be full of terrors but is also full of personable, quirky NPCs. This is a title that grabs you right away and refuses to let go.

And that's without even mentioning the razor-sharp platforming and combat that keeps you moving, dodging, and striking. There are untold sights and encounters spread across Hollow Knight's melancholic world. Joys and frights abound throughout your journey that never stop surprising you. It serves as another example of how firmly the indie market has embraced the Metroidvania genre.

To top off an already excellent package, the game is only $15, with a runtime and quality level that rivals any full-priced title. Following its four recent free expansions, there's no reason why Hollow Knight shouldn't be your next purchase on the Nintendo E-Shop.
