Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla seems like the obvious choice for an open-world RPG on the Switch 2, but I’m actually going to go with Odyssey. Developed solely for the PS4 and Xbox One, it might be a bit more technically feasible. Plus, despite Valhalla being a more robust (and certainly longer) game overall, Odyssey’s ancient Greek isle hopping is the experience I keep pining for. The protagonists are solid, the combat is decent, and the ship-based exploration gives it an air of adventure missing in some of the other recent Assassin’s Creed games. A cloud version of the game actually came to the Switch 1, but only in Japan. Now’s the time to fix that. — Ethan Gach
