Bad North
You wouldn’t think a real-time strategy game would be the best fit for a list like this, but that’s exactly what makes Bad North so good. It’s a game that strips the genre down to its bones, keeping the essence and urges of an RTS while ditching the need for lightning-fast reflexes and the bloat of gathering resources. And while it’s also available on PC, the Switch version is actually superior thanks to how effortlessly its touchscreen controls work. — Luke Plunkett
