Detective Pikachu Returns – $50
A sequel to the 2018 3DS game, Detective Pikachu Returns is a simple, but really solid adventure game set in the Pokémon world. If you’re buying this for a younger child, just know that it will require some reading to get through, but it’s otherwise easy to parse. The game follows the titular Pokémon sleuth and Tim Goodman as they solve mysteries in Ryme City. It has puzzle solving, deduction, and an actually pretty great story without all the competitive battling that Pokémon typically centers on.
