Yeah absolutely, use the grim scythe/skeletal mage runes that up your attack speed, get some life steal on it. The season's set will give you 50% damage reduction most of the time, but even with a lot of armor sometimes you'll have to fall back and let your minions take care of the harder elites. I'm on torment 8 with essentially that build right now.

This is exactly what I was thinking - thanks!

A cursory search a while back turned up a post or two about the PC game engine being different enough that it would be a pain in the dick to add controller support, and probably also because:

This is legit the best grip case you can get.

It’s customizable and the carrying case is perfect.

How do you find the trigger buttons with something over the top of them? It's the one negative I've seen some people mention, but any grip I've found that doesn't cover the buttons seems to be worse in some other way instead.

Mario is a must even if some people ultimately are less than wowed; the Bayonettas seem well-liked if you're into that kind of thing; Xenoblade and Octopath both are pretty divisive but praised for some specific aspects so a) make sure you're into JRPGs and b) check out if you're into the kind of JRPG that each is, watch some video or read a longer review before buying.

Mario x Rabbids is the one you didn't list that I think a lot of people would point you towards -- also a little divisive (some people didn't like its more there's-a-specific-right-answer puzzly take on XCOM) but probably more consensus liked than anything you mentioned other than Odyssey.

I'd mainly meant "what should I look at other than these games" but thanks for the tips. I'll definitely take a look at Mario + Rabbids since I've mainly used my 3DS for strategy/RPG stuff, and I liked that Ghost Recon game Julian Gollop made.

Hopefully Civilization does well and they'll port XCOM!

The Switch doesn't come with an SD card, so you can just put in the one you got and go.

I would recommend putting your SD card in first, before downloading/playing any games. For one, if it's a SDXC card it will have to download a system update. But also, when you download games/updates/DLC it's preferentially stored to the SD card before on-board memory, which leaves space available for game saves and system updates. If you download games/updates/DLC before inserting a SD card, then those games take up on-board memory and you could run out later.

Yeah guess I didn't pay enough attention to to the system specifications, I figured it'd be like the DS where the only storage was on the memory card but I see now that's not the case.

I don't think this'll happen because XCOM 1 and 2 use an older version of Unreal that doesn't natively support the Switch... but I'd be more than happy to be wrong.

They are a little more firm to press but I don’t find that to be an issue at all. I’ve seen some people who didn’t care for it cut stuff away to make it more to their liking but besides that possible issue it’s a great case.

Also can’t overstate how awesome the case it comes with is. It’s a hard shell case with plenty of storage for games and cables and poo poo.

They're more difficult to press, but not dramatically so.

This is completely outweighed by the awesomeness of every other facet of the product. Buy it immediately.

They completely redid encounter design (mostly by lowering enemy counts but upping hp) to support controllers.

If they patched in controller support they'd also have to put in the encounter changes which would make the game even easier with mouse and keyboard.

I got Lumines so my Switch is officially a bigass PSP.

In the Coming Soon section 2 things caught my eye - Project Highrise, the SimTower revival that my $40-for-Cities: Skylines rear end is an easy mark for, and a BattleZone revival. The BattleZone revival appears not to be a B98 revival, but rather original BattleZone. Looks neat and fun. Might get it.
