Id pick BOTW. Skyrim didnt really grab me, no doubt it is a good game and has deeper character mechanics but I just found it all a bit dull. Zelda has better gameplay and better world exploration.
Skyrim didn't hook me (so far). I'm conditioned to collect 100% and max out my character in video games. This doesn't seem to work in Skyrim. I need to approach it again, differently.
I gather, steal, and hoard everything and clutter megaloads in my seemingly-infinite-storage super-laggy potato-sacks. In every dungeon I need to warp back and forth travel points one or two times to secure all my newfound loot.
Collecting 100% and maxing out my characters was a very enjoyable and addictive task in my 300+ hours playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and my 300+ hours playing Zelda BotW.
Zelda grabbed me from the first moment and didn't let me go for 2 months. I revisited her as well, with every update and DLC to complete the new content.
Xenoblade 2 grabbed me after 50 hours and the third update. It started to turn from disappointing into really awesome. So I guess I have to invest a few more hours into Skyrim before it gets really awesome?!
I mean Skyrim definately has its moments. I had some tense experiences in my 40 hours with it and I wanna continue when I have more time. Xenoblade however, once again, addicted me physically, and impacted me emotionally.
Can anyone recommend some good 4$ (3£, 3.2€ I think) or less games? I have gold points I want to spend. I was thinking of Knight terrors but wanted to know if there were any other good budget games.

I've heard many people say Zelda botw is too easy overall and isnt challenging,is it? I'm no expert gamer and haven't played open world games like Zelda before.
@WestTexan Yeah it's DLC. It also includes a bunch of new items, a fairly lengthy new main quest, and a combat challenge called Trial of the Sword. You can buy it by going to the BotW page on the eShop, it costs £18 which I think is about $20.
I'd say don't worry about getting it just for the hard mode though. If you're new to open world games then the normal difficulty should be enough for you. Maybe wait until you've finished the game to make sure you like it (I'm sure you will) before buying the DLC.
Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music
Xenoblade 2 grabbed me after 50 hours and the third update. It started to turn from disappointing into really awesome.
Hmm... Might have to give XC2 another shot then I stopped after about 30-40 hrs in, also disappointed... What made you like it eventually?
I liked it because the characters and storyline began to unfold in a much better way than the first four, five chapters would make you believe.
Also, the bugs and map and blade cutscenes were updated and other extras were added to make a better gameplay experience.
The feeling of getting stronger was another cool thing. Unlocking all of the chests or burning down bushes (etc.) was one of the things that turned from an annoyance into an addiciton.
Combat was at first unexciting and slow, but it turns into to a deep, fast, action-packed version as well. Just level up and get stronger weapons, better skills, arts, and a better understanding of the combo system and the elements.
Yeah, it's an excellent game if you keep at it.
I have enough money for a 2nd Switch game and am undecided between DOOM and Wolfenstein. This is a question for those who bought both for the Switch.... Which of the 2 do you prefer more and why?
@oninowon Wolfestein isn't even out yet... and I think there isn't a release date.
On the other hand, Doom is available and you can probably find it discounted.
If you want the game now, you'll have to go for Doom. And if you can wait... then you'll have to decide between them.
Personally, I'd buy Doom now and enjoy. It's a lot of fun with motion controls!!!
I know this is kind of random but has anyone played Hototogisu Tairan 1553: Ryuuko Aiutsu? It came out this week in Japan and I'm kind of intrigued. It looks like some kind of Fire Emblem and Nobunaga's Ambition card game hybrid. I'm just wondering if someone has played it and could tell me more about the game. If it's any good and how hard would it be to play it if I can't read Japanese. I know katakana and hiragana + couple of words here and there but that's as far as my Japanese goes. I don't expect to get an answer but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case.
