I just finished Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and was thinking about getting another puzzle game for the Switch (for portability). Sounds like Baba Is You could be a fun one to check out.

It is one of the most unique games I've ever played. But if you get it, just be aware that it is insanely hard. It will melt your brain. But if you stick with it, you will find it so rewarding. If you give in to looking up solutions, it will send you down a path where you will lose appreciation for the game. Because, if you look up one, what personal drive will stop you from looking up more. And when you look up more, you have removed the game from the game; there is no real story or dexterity required...it is 100% puzzle. You won't have the desire or patience to suffer while your brain explodes staring at the same level for 3 hours, so you'll just look them up in less and less time, and you won't get these euphoric rushes as the solution finally clicks after hours. You will take the easy way out. Only get Baba Is You if you have the fortitude to put your brain through hell. The level design for the game is some of the best I've seen for a puzzle game; nothing feels repetitious. The game is constantly adding new mechanics, and keeps using them in ways that feel fresh. And if you do plan to get it, don't look up anything in depth about it. One of the things that kept blowing me away was how deep down the rabbit hole you start going. I just kept wondering when or how or what the end of the game was going to be, and it kept doing things.

It's not a game for everyone as you can see from the feedback here. The game will lull you into this false sense of confidence with the tutorial levels where you get impressed with the novelty while solving stages in 5 minutes. Then it crushes you. If you do play it, make a topic here about your ongoing experience!
