      how is dragon's dogma a hidden gem... it gets released on every system and has been for the past 10 years... in fact they make such a big deal about every launch of the game that absolutely nothing gets changed in that at this point it is just a cash grab for them form the 10 people that don't own it already or the gigafans that feel the need to buy every version of the exact same game

    Nier Automata and Astral Chain are the 2 best Action RPGs on the system that you missed, but other than that, it's a good list. I don't think Bayonetta 3 counts as an RPG even though it has a skill tree, but THAT is not only the best Action game on the switch, but the best Action game I've ever played.

    I understand why YS 9 is all the way at the start of the list. The game is too amazing to be spoiled. I cannot wait for a YS 10 game that will build up on the both games or even bring the old games into a new light. Seeing Adol take on new adventures is always a joy to see. I haven't played NEO yet but I replayed the original NDS game so many times I have to get my hands on it soon too

    Great list of Action RPGs here! I need to give Crosscode a try, as that looks really cool. I have the Witcher 3 on Switch, but barely scratched the surface of it lol. Need to try diving into that one again. My favorite ARPG on the Switch is Astral Chain. Such a sublime experience. Excellent video as always man!

  • @ophidianmind333
    @ophidianmind333 Před rokem +7

    My favorite Switch RPGs are Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster, Shin Megami Tensei V, Ys VIII, IX, & Origin, Persona 5 Royal, Sega Genesis Classics (which contains Phantasy Star II, III, & IV, Shining Force I & II, & Sword of Vermilion), the Sega Ages version of Phantasy Star, Trails from Zero, Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate I & II, Darkest Dungeon, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Langrisser I & II, Collection of Mana, Bravely Default II, Live-A-Live, Triangle Strategy, Cosmic Star Heroine, Vambrace: Cold Soul, Icewind Dale, Romancing SaGa II & III, Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, X, & XII, Octopath Traveler, and Dragon Quest I, II, & III.
    I'm sure some will read my list and wonder why the Xenoblade Chronicles games are absent, and that is only because I haven't yet played them. They look very interesting and they are on my to-play list, I recently obtained Xenoblade Chronicles III and I plan on beginning it later today so maybe that will be added to my list as well before too long (or after the 100+ hours I heard this game is 😆).

      You should try out legends of mana and trials of mana remake too, i see a few crpgs so you might like pillars of eternity, divinity original sin 2 (one of the best games i ever played) and Disco elysium. Judging from your profile picture you like SMT so you could try out tokyo mirage sessions encore. Also the disgaea games might be up your alley. A game i would very much call a gem that i recently got into is 9th dawn 3, it's a indie action rpg with a open world a elder scrolls like skill progression system, a ton of equipment and even monster taming and also multiplayer even couch coop i think definitely recommend it
