Discussion Switch FPS Appreciation & Recommendation Thread

Any experience with Strange Brigade, from the same dev (I think)? That one looked like it could be arcady fun.
Haven't played that one unfortunately.

I also recommend Powerslave, it's a very good port of the original game (or originals as it mixes 2 versions) and is something like a prototype version of Metroid Prime where you gain different abilites in game to continue exploring, and you can return to previous levels with the new abilities to pick up missing stuff
 
Anyone play Slime Rancher? I could use more colorful FPSs on my Switch.

Also: adding my vote for the Turok games and BulletStorm, in addition to Doom, Quake and Alien Isolation. I own Project Warlock but haven't been able to get good at it yet. Neon White is on my radar.

Others that may be worth checking out include Superhot, Stranger's Wrath, Republic Commando. Wolfenstein and Portal are obvious mentions.
Give the demo for Hypercharge: Unboxed a try, it's clear the developers put a lot of effort into that game and it runs well in handheld mode.

Last but certainly not least, Boomerang X is first person, not really a shooter, but totally fucking awesome and worth the small learning curve.
 
I played crisis for the very first time. Very solid game. I have yet to play crisis 2 and 3 yet. All on the switch!
It's crazy that Crysis on a handheld a) exists b) runs well. Admittedly I don't really like the games that much but it's just really impressive to see it running on a 5 inch screen.
 
Okay Fami I ended up buying Doom Eternal Deluxe Edition. Got it last minute on sale at Argentine eShop, for the price I would get the game without DLC on the Brazilian eShop sale.

I might still regret it lol. Had to archive a lot of games to fit on storage so maybe I won't play it for long before having to uninstall. Anyways I better love it and love the DLC too now lol. Thankfully my funds saved on the Brazilian eShop will stay on hold til the next big Nintendo or Atlus sale where I get something.

Yeah I've had that on my radar for a while because it looks intriguing. How is the shooting stuff - being lost ratio?

Great suggestions, hadn't heard about a few of those so that's good! =D

Hope you like it. I'd recommend picking the easiest or second-to easiest difficulty modes for the first playthrough. This way you get to learn (and enjoy) the game without it burning you out before the end =P . I wish I'd done that on my first playthrough, but I picked ultraviolence because that was my setting for Doom 2016. Waaaay too hard =P . The difficulty descriptions are outta whack on Eternal, even the easiest one I wouldn't call easy by a long stretch.

The shooting sections are good, regardign getting lost it's really low, as it's not one big area. The game is separated by levels, with multiple exits, but the secondary ones are reached only once you have your upgrades and its structured so that they are usually in the last (maybe 2) levels back and its very easy to remember (like "here is a giant path of lava you can't pass" and then in the next level find the upgrade to walk on lava). There are hidden collectibles that may need some backtracking to initial levels, but are more of an extra thing
 
DOOM (2016) is on sale for $10. imo a good price for this port, and I already own Eternal so I'm familiar with how the engine runs.

Even though I acknowledge many ways in which Eternal is better, I prefer the first. It's the vibes for sure. I own it on PC but gyro aiming is too good to pass up, feels like playing with a lightgun sometimes.
 
I've had Doom 2016 on PS4 for years, but couldn't get into it until getting the Switch version and playing with gyro aim. It's a shame developers aren't implementing it on other consoles as well, although the portability of Switch is a big plus for me as well.

Doom Eternal is also on sale. The only thing left to decide is whether to get the deluxe edition or just the standard package. Any thoughts on the DLC?
 
I'm playing Doom Eternal, and while that can be extremely hard even at the easiest mode, it's great to get new abilities and the atmosphere of the game is really great.
Motion aiming on handheld is stellar.
 

I'm so glad this was posted, genuinely forgot about this and had an interest once upon a time.

Also while it's not quite as a demanding type game, I think Paladins deserves a nod because it is a smooth 60fps with many different characters, the artstyle holds up really well, and the gyro works pretty good. Plus it makes Overwatch (and inevitably Overwatch 2) seem a tad worse due to the 30fps cap that gas.

I have to toss my hat in the ring and recommend both Doom and Doom eternal. Absolutely stellar they are.

I would also recommend Bioshock, DUSK, Quake, Amid Evil, and Borderlands.
 
Crysis Remastered Trilogy is a very worth addition: Somewhat faulty when it first launched, the version that’s out post-patches is great and solid, and just amazing having Crysis in the palm of your hands.
 
I picked up Doom Eternal without the DLC. It seems there's 15-20 hours of gameplay in the base game already, and I don't think I'd have time for the DLC any time soon.
 
Dusk is basically a perfect port and runs great. I enjoy it for being a modern doom clone that doesnt feel as archaic as the genuine article, but still has a nostalgic feel to it.

boomerang x is great, but i had some issues with the motion controls that i couldnt tweak so i fell off it.
 
Amid Evil,
Have been wanting to play that one for ages, is the Switch port still in limbo?

Oohh might pick that up for novelty's sake. Curious how the patched up version fares, DF was quite positive about the launch one if I remember correctly.

The DLC is on par with the main game quality-wise, but I can see some people feeling fatigued after the base game. Personally I only got the DLC after I'd really found my groove replaying the main game.
