Hi everyone,
I absoutely adored Child of Light and Valiant Hearts (which come as a double pack on Switch!) and they are games that I felt were so unique, have stuck with me, and just felt really meaningful to play. I loved the art, the music, and the story. They somehow got across beauty in sadness.
Has anyone got any suggestions for something else of the same vein on Switch? Games that are unique experiences with deeper stories.
I see Ori come up in conversations about being on the same lines, but the actual gameplay does not look interesting to me in videos. Not sure it is for me.
Spiritfarer has my consideration at the moment for a similar type of feel, but taking up suggestions for other things like it really.
Machinarium and Creaks are both great environmental puzzle type games, with gorgeous hand drawn visuals. Also Inmost is really good, it has an intriguing narrative, although kind of a bummer, it deals with themes of depression and loss.
That's tricky, @Mana_Knight .... The 2 you mention are quite different from each other in many ways So, just trying to clarify what it is about them you like? Problem with just saying 'unique' is there won't be anything exactly the same
Maybe Forgotten Anne?
Banner Saga? It’s pretty looking and it’s certainly pretty sad. Undertale has the story chops, and fantastic music - YMMV on the art. Valkyria Chronicles 1 & 4 are painterly RPGs, so evoke Child of Light in that sense.
Actually, if you like elegiac tone, shortish campaigns and great visuals and sound, try literally any SuperGiant Games release: Bastion, Transistor or Hades. In fact, try all of them, if you’ve missed any, as they’re very different but all excellent.
