An adorable co-op puzzler where you snip each other into shapes to clear obstacles. Solo it loses much of its spark, but in pairs or fours it sparks laughter and chaotic coordination. Simple, clever and thoroughly endearing.

Snipperclips (Nintendo Switch) price, value & rarity
The brilliance of this puzzler lies in one disarmingly simple idea: two sheets of paper snip each other to match the shapes a level demands. Pitched as a modest launch-window title, it was overshadowed by the console's blockbusters and many breezed right past it. Yet in two- or four-player co-op its laughter and invention still shine. A treat for couch evenings with friends or family.
Better with friends
Slicing each other into oddball shapes to solve puzzles: that's the genius of this up-to-four co-op, where you only progress by communicating non-stop. You have to agree, measure your cuts, accept being snipped into a staircase by a teammate, and the laughter erupts with every botched attempt. Cooperative to the core, clever and adorable, it's an instant pick-up at any hour.
