Your caution is warranted. I like most of his works, but I do think his story telling might not be his strongest suit. Don’t get me wrong it’s great but I think where he excels most is in combining music and animation like no other.

I would suggest monster hunter rise and splatoon 3. I found some games are better on the switch with its portability and quick resume feature. Games that has some amount of grinding or 5-10 minutes burst of game play, like the ones I mentioned, works very well.

Just started Zelda TOTK, slow burning it at the moment, will probably play persona 5 after this.
