- Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (Switch) While its graphical downgrade on Switch is hard to miss, that doesn’t detract from the fact that Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is the best narrative single-player FPS experience you can have on Switch right now.
- Doom (Switch eShop) What is there to say about there original 1993 classic? Given that we’ve only had SNES and GBA versions before, this new Switch port of DOOM didn't have to do much to be the best version ever released on a Nintendo system, but since launch it has had annoying DRM, a smattering of small technical hiccups and an irregular framerate completely eliminated.
- Screencheat: Unplugged. Developed by game studio Samurai Punk, Screencheat is a first-person shooter Switch game that’s best enjoyed at a party. In the game, all the players’ characters are invisible.

- Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Edition. Initially released in 2011 for PS3/360, Bulletstorm received positive enough reviews but was a commercial failure for developer Epic Games.
- Superhot. If players are in the mood for something completely different, Superhot fits the bill and then some. Introducing a unique mechanic where the game completely slows down to a crawl if the player stops moving, Superhot has an extra layer of strategy not common in most first-person shooters.
- Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. The Switch is a capable handheld, able to render huge worlds and graphically impressive games like Doom: Eternal above. However, any dreams of a possible Red Dead Redemption 2 port may be dashed away, as that's a little too out of the realm of possibility.
