I see no issue with saying games are like other games. What I want out of a review is a pretty good idea if a game is worth me checking out, it doesn’t have to be super creatively written or anything.
I’ve played it a bit on PS4, if it runs well on switch it’ll probably be the best true MMO. I liked it a lot more than Onigiri but as F2P MMO’s are concerned I liked Neverwinter the best. Sky forge’s world building is kinda cheesy and they really lean into the fan service.
I’ve got a few off the list. My recommendations are Pan Pan a short but clever little puzzle adventure. Kamiko is like a bite sized fast paced take on vintage Zelda games, it’s one of daughters favorites amusingly a game that you can beat in an hour is 3rd on my switch for time played. Implosion is a pretty solid little action game with a cool sci-fi aesthetic.
@Heavyarms55 exactly the way I feel. I gave fortnite a decent shot but I just never found myself having much fun. I will give it that it’s better in a party but overall not my thing.
@Brumblescope Mana Spark is pretty legit and I give them props for a recent update that fixes most major complaints with the game. Devs who listen kick ass.
Not a fan of how small the player characters are. Other than that the game would need some depth for me to consider it other wise I have plenty of indie beat em ups. This really doesn’t look much like what I’d think of as a beat em up.
@Fake-E-Lee AAC is definitely awesome probably my number 2 next to Issac. Mechanically and aesthetically it’s better but I just love the amount items and gameplay modifiers that BOI has.
I get it’s hard to balance attracting new fans without alienating old ones but this isn’t great. I don’t really see my daughter going for this either. We’ll stick to Sonic underground and the Genisis games.
@sketchturner Momodora is one of my favorites, It’s a bit short but I loved the boss fights and overall feel of the game. Combat feels very satisfying.
Wasn’t a big fan of the demo, the controls don’t feel quite tight enough. The crt effect was also a bit heavy handed and made it harder than it needed to be.
Onigiri is alright, I’ve been wanting an mmo game for switch and Elemental knights wasn’t it. It’s not quite as good as some of its peers on other systems but for something I can play handhel I’ll take it.

Re: No Gravity Games Is Giving Away 11 Free Switch Games This Month (North America)

Re: Guns And Spurs 2 Attempts To Give Red Dead Redemption Some Cowboy Competition
The animation is rough but might be fun, the reviews on mobile look positive. If the price is right I’d consider it.
Re: NightmareScape Sounds New, But It's Actually A Renamed Port Of An Existing Title
The art style is amazing but doesn’t look like something I’d enjoy playing. Good stealth is a ton of fun but bad stealth is painful.
Re: No Gravity Games Is Handing Out 12 Free Switch Games This Month (North America)
Some of their games are pretty decent like Tanuki Justice and Wallachia.
Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Talk About Games By Comparing Them To Other Games?

Re: Random: Jealous Husband Sells Wife's Harvest Moon Collection To Stop Her "Marrying Virtual Men"
@RR529 I do think a lot of the AITA posts are fake, you can be so anonymous on Reddit
Re: Review: Blackwind - Hack 'N' Slash Mech Mayhem That Misses The Mark
Sounds a lot like Implosion

Re: Review: Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues - A Surprisingly Decent Belt-Scrolling Brawler
The trailer I saw made it look incredibly cheap and low effort. I wasn’t expecting better than a 5.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 9th)
Got fire emblem warriors a couple days ago and I’m enjoying it. I’ve never played Fire Emblem but this is the best warriors game I’ve played.
Re: This Switch eShop Game Is On Sale For Just Two Cents, But Should You Buy It?
It’s pretty bad, movement is slow and bullets are hard to see
Re: Twin-Stick Shooter Delta Squad Will Be Deployed On Switch Later This Week
@GhostGeneration yeah not too impressed with the trailer. As many twin stick shooters as I have they really need something special.
Re: Get Up To 90% Off Select Nintendo Switch Games With Merge Games' Anniversary Sale

Loved the first one so I’ll be getting this for sure. Looks like one my daughter would enjoy too.
Re: This Limited Run Switch eShop Game Is Currently On Sale For Just 9 Cents
This game is pretty decent, a bit like an open world mega man or Zelda 2. If you like 8bit platformers id recommend it.
Re: Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Won't Let Force Users Invert Their Aim On Switch
@Heavyarms55 probably has to do with the circles you roll with, I’ve never known anyone irl who doesn’t play inverted.
Re: Roguelike Dungeon Crawler Soul Knight Comes To Switch With All Characters Included
I like this one pretty well and it will play better on switch than phone.
Re: SolSeraph Is The ActRaiser Spiritual Successor You've Been Praying For
Never played Act Raiser but sounds a bit like Dark Cloud.
Re: Realm Royale Is Now Available As A Free Download On Switch
@Heavyarms55 exactly the way I feel. I gave fortnite a decent shot but I just never found myself having much fun. I will give it that it’s better in a party but overall not my thing.
Re: Flyhigh Works Hosts ‘Summer Sizzlers’ Sale, 11 Switch Games Discounted
@Xelha if you enjoy 8 bit puzzle adventure games you’d dig it. It doesn’t give you much guidance though, I used a walkthrough a couple times.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 1st)
Been getting back into Warframe after a while of not playing and Dauntless on ps4.
Re: Fantasy RPG Legend Of The Tetrarchs Brings Turn-Based Battling To Switch Next Week

As long as it runs better than Onigiri I’m down

@Brumblescope Mana Spark is pretty legit and I give them props for a recent update that fixes most major complaints with the game. Devs who listen kick ass.
Re: Beat ‘Em Up Arcade Game Clan N Fights Its Way To Switch Later This Year
Not a fan of how small the player characters are. Other than that the game would need some depth for me to consider it other wise I have plenty of indie beat em ups. This really doesn’t look much like what I’d think of as a beat em up.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th April (North America)
@RR529 I grabbed it earlier, essentially waifu Implosion.
Re: RPG Sephirothic Stories Brings Its Turn-Based Battles To Switch Next Week
@Drac_Mazoku which one has been your favorite? I’ve only played Revanent Saga but I found it enjoyable.
Re: Review: Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Scarlet - A Sun-Soaked Romp That Loses Its Appeal Too Soon
Same complaint I have with Senran Karuga, they aren’t putting the actual mainline games on switch, it’s a shame the DOA fighters are pretty good.
Re: Review: The Princess Guide - A Rewarding Action Title Ruined By Obtuse Mechanics And Poor Design
ill probably get this one as I enjoyed Penny Punching Princess. That game had a bit of clunkiness as well but was still pretty fun.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 9th)
Switch wise grabbed the walking vegetables on sale the other day, also have been playing Penny punching princess.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 9th)
@Fake-E-Lee AAC is definitely awesome probably my number 2 next to Issac. Mechanically and aesthetically it’s better but I just love the amount items and gameplay modifiers that BOI has.
Re: Fantasy RPG Azure Saga: Pathfinder Sets Course For Switch, Pre-Orders Now Live
This looks decent enough, I might even be a fan of the marionette art style.
Re: This Is What Sonic The Hedgehog Probably Looks Like In His Upcoming Movie
I get it’s hard to balance attracting new fans without alienating old ones but this isn’t great. I don’t really see my daughter going for this either. We’ll stick to Sonic underground and the Genisis games.
Re: Battle Against A Royal Nightmare In Trine 4 On Switch This Autumn
I need to get around to playing the Trine series, it’s been in my backlog on ps4 for a while.
Re: Feature: The Best Metroidvania Games On Nintendo Switch
@sketchturner Momodora is one of my favorites, It’s a bit short but I loved the boss fights and overall feel of the game. Combat feels very satisfying.
Re: Review: Away: Journey To The Unexpected - A Colourful Roguelike Plagued By Bad Design Choices
The missuse of Roguelike and roguelite bugs me. It’s not like it’s that complicated, if it’s turn based it’s a Roguelike everything else is Roguelite.
Re: Awesome Pea Is Rolling Onto Switch At The Start Of March
Wasn’t a big fan of the demo, the controls don’t feel quite tight enough. The crt effect was also a bit heavy handed and made it harder than it needed to be.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 9th)
@Fake-E-Lee I play iron cryptical on ps4 it’s pretty good. Not the deepest but it’s super solid.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 9th)
Binding of Issac and Victor Vran mostly, might play some Onigiri. If I get the chance to play my PC POE.
Re: QubicGames Announces Crazy 90% Discount For Escape Doodland, More Titles To Follow Suit
My favorite game from Qubic is Mana Spark. Despite a weirdly function camera it’s a solid roguelite.
Re: Nintendo Download: 31st January (North America)
Onigiri is alright, I’ve been wanting an mmo game for switch and Elemental knights wasn’t it. It’s not quite as good as some of its peers on other systems but for something I can play handhel I’ll take it.
