I spend my free time anonymously posting theories online. You can listen to me sob on Twitter friskbee! Find Bianca Versoza On: Twitter. Best Minecraft Puzzle Maps 1.

One of the best things about this game is that you can set individual difficulty levels for the players. You can set the game to an easier mode for a young child and a more difficult model for an adult. That means people of all ages can play together and the game will be fair, making it a great game for families to learn new things together.

ESBR: Everyone. Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics allows you to play different board games, card games, and other traditional types of games virtually. As they master each game, your child will become well-versed in the strategies and principles behind them. The video game includes games popular to an array of different cultures and countries, making it a great way to combine cultural exploration, strategic thinking skills, and a fun gaming experience.

In the game, your child will create and design their own island. As they explore the island, they'll learn about different aspects of the world through the different challenges offered in the gameplay. For instance, your child can discover insects, fish, and fossils all of which have a real-world basis , and bring them to the island's museum.

When they donate the items, the owl in charge of the museum will teach them about what they brought. Your child will also have to work to distinguish between real and counterfeit pieces when curating the museum's art gallery, so there are opportunities to learn about works of art too. If you have a kiddo who is always creating and building something, or want to encourage them to do so, you'll want to consider Nintendo Labo Variety Kit.

The kit includes five IRL, tangible cardboard toys that your child will need to construct: two remote-control cars, a fishing rod, a house, a motorbike, and a piano.

Rather than following a set of paper instructions, the game will walk your child through the process of building a functional version of each toy. Once the building process is finished, real-life and virtual worlds collide as the cardboard creations are incorporated into gameplay , with each toy having its own place to hold the Nintendo Switch and its Joy-Cons. For instance, the Switch will sit above the keys on the piano, and when you press on the cardboard keys, the Switch will make music.

Your child essentially helps design components for the game, making this kit great for tying STEM concepts and creative thinking into playtime. And not just any goose, a horrible goose. An asshole goose that makes life extremely difficult for everyone around it. Untitled Goose Game has absolutely taken the world by storm. Even Chrissie Teigen got obsessed with it.

But is it good? Very good. This one should absolutely be on any and all Nintendo Switch consoles. Stardew Valley is the perfect example of why the Nintendo Switch is a game-changing device.

Because of the nature of the Switch and how it allows you to just passively play while watching TV, or on public transport it's perfect for a game like Stardew Valley -- which is the digital equivalent of knitting a scarf. It's a genuine, proper masterpiece. An investigation story, essentially -- you arrive on the Obra Dinn, a ship where almost all the crewmates have died. Via flashbacks you try to piece together the story of what happened.

It's strange, innovative and completely unforgettable. If you've played a Paper Mario game before, you probably know the drill. The series is set in a 2D "paper" version of Mario, a theme used to create all sorts of hyper-stylized mechanics and slick visual elements.

It's all laced up with a self-awareness and charm that make the series irresistible to Nintendo fans. Don't believe the online hype: This is one of the best games in the series so far. It's also great to see Pokemon being available on Nintendo's premium console. Definitely check it out.

Super Mario Maker 2 doesn't quite feel made for the Nintendo Switch in the way it was perfect for the Wii U, but it's still a fantastic piece of software. It makes level design accessible for everyone and has a massively beefed-up single-player mode.

That's not to mention the endless replay value that comes with the insane user-created levels. Check Super Mario Maker 2 out for sure. It speaks to the quality of the game that people got excited when it was ported to the Nintendo Switch nine years later.

But it's also testament to the power of the Nintendo Switch as a device. It's simply a super fun and convenient way to play video games, particularly indie games like Fez, which are well suited to the smaller screen.

And if you haven't played Fez, you absolutely should. It's a genius, mind-bending thing that playfully messes with video game tropes. One of the best games of the last decade.

Splatoon 2 is very similar to the first Splatoon. It's barely a sequel in the traditional sense, but, much like Mario Kart 8, that doesn't make it any less essential. Splatoon's high concept is pure genius and extremely Nintendo. It takes the first-person shooter, traditionally a violent genre, and flips it on its head. You're shooting paint, not bullets. You don't score points for shooting enemies, you score points by shooting the environment itself.

Among Us is one of the most popular games in the world right now. While the Nintendo Switch might not be the ideal platform, I'd argue it's the best way for kids to play. There's no chance of them coming across audio chats with teenagers swearing at one another, plus the chat is censored. I can't believe it even exists. I also can't believe how good it is. It doesn't even make sense. Then it was released, and it turned out to be one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch.

Except you battle killer rabbits with laser guns. It's overpriced, but if you love Zelda, and you loved Link's Awakening , you have to play this faithful, lovingly adapted remake. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. Cadence of Hyrule is an indie rogue-like rhythm game based on the Legend of Zelda. In regular speak: a game that crosses Zelda with Dance Dance Revolution.

Which sounds like a completely bizarre proposition, but Cadence of Hyrule works! It really works. And you should play the hell out of it. Doom rules. This is known. Playing Doom on the Nintendo Switch also rules.
