The Nintendo Switch has become one of the most beloved consoles in recent years. Its portability and wide selection of games make it an ideal choice for gamers looking for a little bit of everything. But there’s one genre that often gets overlooked on the Switch, which is point-and-click adventure games. These titles offer up a unique puzzle-solving experience that can keep players coming back for hours, and with so many options available, there’s something for everyone.
Machinarium
One of the best point-and-click adventure titles on the Nintendo Switch is Machinarium. Developed by Amanita Design, this charming title follows a small robot named Josef who must navigate various puzzles and challenges to save his girlfriend from an evil dictator. The puzzles are varied and creative, rewarding players who think outside the box. The game also features unique visuals, with hand-drawn animations that give it its own distinctive style.
A bonus feature of Machinarium on the Nintendo Switch is its multi-touch controls. This makes navigating through its world much easier than with traditional controllers. Additionally, Machinarium includes an autosave feature so you don’t need to worry about losing progress if you take a break or run into any technical issues while playing.
