Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour Times: This Week's Featured Po. (not right or wrong there, just something that seems to happen on average.) As opposed to the average Nintendo game which I have always felt puts gameplay first and story second. I picked these games as standouts because they are distinctly story focused. I honestly highly encourage people to play all 3 of them if they are looking for something story driven and different from your average game story. Their style of gameplay used to deliver the narrative is pretty unusual and their stories are the reason you would play them. Both are excellent narrative driven experiences that I highly recommend.

Rocket of Whispers and The Day We Found Earth. The game has a lot of odd and creative visuals, spooky but not 'horror' scenes, and a particular sense of humor that will be most enjoyable to basically my generation only I suspect.(or at the very least I think would be interpreted differently by younger or older players) Definitely the most unique and unusual game on Switch I have played. You never really know if there actually is supernatural stuff happening or if our character is losing her mind or perhaps both or even neither. A surreal experience that although it has a somewhat narrow target audience, it manages to keep the player guessing.

Not necessarily my favorite game, but I don't regret getting it. I was excited to have a game that used the Joy-Cons' gyros to simulate drumming, but after about five hours of play I haven't clicked with the controls yet, and I'm taking a break from Gal Metal right now.ĭefinitely an interesting game and by far the most offbeat ( cough) game I own for the Switch. I'm less enthusiastic about Gal Metal's controls, though. The songs you play are short metal versions of classical music pieces which, honestly, I'm not recognizing so far, but they are fantastic fun. A game I heard about on NL almost a year ago and knew I had to try it ASAP, Gal Metal is a rhythm game that is also a social management game where you play a mysteriously gender-swapped Tokyo teen tasked with defeating an alien invasion by drumming in a metal band. But gamers who are not into very dark humor, turn-based games or roguelike/lite games will not like it.ĭarkest Dungeon is, however, not nearly as strange a game as Gal Metal. Healing and stress negation can be paid for in the church, sanitarium, tavern and brothel, but many of the character quirks have them banned from certain establishments for unsavory reasons.Įxquisitely narrated and drawn in a charming, almost woodcut style, Darkest Dungeon sucked me in for almost 50 hours, and I plan to go back to it soon. Your 'heroes', for lack of a better word, become stressed and then lose their sanity as they adventure, acquiring multiple negative quirks until they are inevitably eaten by some Elder Thing and you have to recruit new adventurers. It's a very dark but riotously funny turn-based roguelite set in a thinly disguised Cthulhu Mythos.

The runner-up for my personal strangest game is also one of my favorites: Darkest Dungeon (Ancestral Edition). How about your weirdest, most offbeat and unusual experiences on Switch? No specific number and not necessarily your favorite games. We've heard the top ten lists for most played and favorite Switch games.
