Let’s start with one of the most obvious bad buys for many players: 1-2 Switch. The small minigame collection according to the comments it was quite nice, but definitely not worth its original price of 50 euros. Players would not want to spend more than 15 to 20 euros on it.

The stealth game Hitman just doesn’t work for youflowerybitch on the Nintendo Switch. She writes:

The fun multiplayer game Overcooked may be acclaimed by fans, but it has one major downside. AtomicstereoZ10 writes:

On the Switch port of Ark, Puzzleheaded_Item_53 writes:

“(…) Yes, the graphics are bad, but I could overlook that. My main problem with Ark is this high price. And the many glitches and bugs in the game. And the fact that the port will probably never get an update again.”

Fortunately, you can now get the game for around 20 euros instead of 60 euros.
