NL giving a score of 10 to a not Zelda. That's new.

Boxed. Sad but true.
Because of one word.

DUST.

Instabuy! labyrinth of Refrain was a bomb!

No, no, no. I'm going in spoiler-free.

I love how it is "launched tomorrow"

Give me Rune Factory 5 already!!!

Is it just me or is the figure looking much more buff then the in-game model?

No character gacha. Thank gods or whoever.

Still does not mean there are no weapon or skill gacha, as was the case with Chromatic Souls (was quite enjoyable, by the way - while it lasted).

Here we go (again?)
Openworld Zelda
Openworld Kirby
Openworld Sonic

What next? Openworld Metroid?

I'll be taking Black Book. Backed it on Kickstarter and I'm very excited to finally get to play it.

I pronounce it...

FEUER FREI

Yup, backed it on Kickstarter and very enthusiastic about it!

Undernauts. Giving me a lot of SMT, Wizardry, Etrian Odyssey vibes.

@suikoden I'm not based in UK so...

Pricing discrepancy between PC and Switch in my region is immense. Switch version is almost 4 times the price of PC version...

Guess I'll be playing this one on PC after all.

I can rest easy now knowing that I won't have to buy this new model.
Maybe a few years down the line, when Switch Next is announced...

Yup, I went and got myself a full dose of a well-preserved SMT.
I have no regrets.

@BenAV I'm with you on the SMT IV side. I struggled with it on 3DS but having recently lost my console I decided to try again, emulated it on PC and enjoyed it immensely.

I know I started to struggle in Tokyo due to its complete lack of comprehensible map of the overworld. But having it on a bigger screen somehow alleviated that (even though the scale stayed the same).

I was looking forward to the dual release, but not at this price.

Hoooley moley. Day one buy for me, that's beyond any doubt.

@RupeeClock It's akin to Polaroid in that it doesn't use ink or toner cartridges but instead utilizes cards with prefilled ink pouches.

Honestly, looks visually nice but kinda-sorta barebones.
Is this going to be another uninspired roguelite? Hope not.

Wait what? Cloud version for a game with subpar graphics? What gives?
I mean, lookatit. Graphics is not at PS4 level at all. I can easily bet my arm that with even a LITTLE care it could run natively on Switch. Maybe even at 1080p docked.

A well-deserved score. It's been fun for about a month or two upon release but pay-to-win mechanics introduced soon after ruined it copmpletely. Also, it's always been mind-numbingly grindy.

Wow. I hate bullet hell and associated mechanics of ship's vulnerable 'core', scraping, dodging, etc. I haven't played a decent shmup in years.

Might actually get this one!

YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Utter nonsense! The gameplay is bland and item synergies are almost nonexistent.
Go play Binding of Isaac for the same concept but immeasurably better, or Hades for a superb roguelite experience.

Artstyle is kinda redeeming... Not enough for me to go on artstyle alone though.

The Dark Eye dilogy is so good. I might just buy it on Switch to experience it all again. I never liked Deponia so for me it's the pinnacle of Daedalic point&click adventures.
Sword of the Necromancer miiiiight do it too. Don't know yet. I've come to hating roguelikes as a whole class lately...
And oh, Heaven's Vault! My personal 2019 GOTY. Not going to rebuy it since I have already completed everything on PC.

The delicious fuzzyness of characters is gone in upscaling... Meh.

@Anti-Matter thankfully, not ALL of them. But it's very hard to find that 0.01% of all free2play games that are actually good and worthy.

I'd love to get Sakuna but short on spare cash atm. Will get later or on sale.

Wow NL, you've outdone yourself.

This is a very decent puzzle game. It's been out on PC for quite a while and I had a blast playing it. Rough around the edges, surely, but more than decent enough to warrant at least a 7, maybe an 8.

Shame on you!

NB: this is my experience from 2015. YMMV, especially so because with a few years of development the game might have changed considerably.

Skyforge was (still is?) a pretty decent game albeit it gets very heavy on grind in the later stages (or used to be as such a few years back when it just released). I dumped quite a few hours in without spending a dime.
What turned me off completely was a system where you had to spend craptons of cash or grind 24/7 to achieve any meaningful progress with a certain aspect of progression (or so I remember). It did not lock you out of content but hampered this aspect quite severely.

Gameplay used to be quite good at the time, both solo and party dungeons. Class and build variety were great but unlocking 'later' classes came at a cost where you had literally no materials left to power them up and had to jump on a treadmill of resource grinding. Or just swipe your card to get a 'starter pack' with those classes unlocked.

I just miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight try Let's Sing Queen. More likely if my wife wants this too.

I never knew about this. Now I somehow feel that I must get it.

Currently US only... Any notion of EU release?

You guys are missing the 'I barely ever get it out of the dock' option...

I have played this on PC but decided against keeping it. Controls are (were?) atrocious, and randomness regarding enemy placement was often unfair.

Managed to finally track down and pick up a copy of Ring Fit Adventure. Great stuff!

Even for two players a home would need two Switches and two carts. We only have one Switch, so to play with my kid I'll need to dig up $500 somewhere...

TAKE. MY. MONEY.

Wait, it's not a game but a gachatron? Can't describe what a huge letdown it is.

This is a very nice roguelike. But it's still a roguelike of which we have had tons and tons lately... Besides, it's been available on Epic and Steam for quite a while already.
Hard pass on switch.

Ugh... the 'art'style is an incredible turn-off. Even though I like the roguelike genre itself.

Make it a LEGO set but also an actual working console and I'm sold.

Moving on to Catherine, right after finishing Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. I got burned out at Alcamoth (first visit) on my 3DS a few years ago... But this version is most definitely the Definitive.

The star rating is vastly overrated and totally unnecessary

Only playing Xenoblade Chronicles. Until I beat it at least once, nothing else for me.

Sounds just about right.

Another TES game that I will never play...
