SteamWorld Dig - Best Switch Games Under $10 I’m putting the original PICROSS S here, but the whole series is great. Picross is a kind of logic puzzle game where you’re trying to create a picture by using clues to deduce which spaces on a grid should be filled in and which should be left blank. It’s a surprisingly absorbing game that’s a perfect fit for the Switch and a great game to wind down with at the end of the day. Given a certain set of structures, each which award points depending on their placement and proximity to other buildings, you try to get the highest score possible.


ISLANDERS is a stripped-down city building game that plays more like a puzzler than it does a fully-fledged simulation. Which approach you take will determine the ending you get, and there are plenty to discover. Built around a single puzzle, Fatuma Betula has you wander around a lo-fi, eerie world in search of something with which to water the roots of a mystical tree. If you’re looking for something a little slower paced and unsettling, Fatum Betula fits the bill. It takes everything great about games like Super Metroid and compresses them into a tight experience while adding some little twists of its own, like the ability to climb out of the suit to crawl around in vents. Gato Roboto - Best Switch Games Under $10Ī 2D platformer where you play as a cat piloting an armored suit, Gato Roboto is a quick and breezy adventure. The simple gameplay - based around performing basic tasks or trying to sabotage and kill the other days - is straightforward but enduring. The social game that became an online sensation, Among Us can be a blast to play with friends or strangers. Note that this list only includes games that are $10 or under before sales, and doesn’t include free games - we’ll have another list of those soon. If you’re looking to pick up a new game without breaking the bank, here are some of the best Switch games under $10.

But the console is also home to a number of games with substantially lower price points that are also great playthroughs. There are plenty of full-price retail releases on the Switch, many of which are excellent games worth checking out.
