Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 2nd)

MHR: Sunbreak on Nintendo Switch… but purposefully limiting myself to small sessions so as to prevent burnout! Only just kicked it off and excited to try the new Switch Skills for Greatsword (hear that they’re great) This will basically be my ‘travel game’ while I’m away with work

Then when home, still on that Platinum grind with Nioh 1 - finally made it to region 5 (of 6) and still loving it. IMO - not quite as polished as the FromSoftware outputs, but would argue that Nioh combat is far superior… just excellent fighting mechanics!

@Ravio18 Ah wow mate!

I love it when I can recommend this game to someone who hasn't heard ot it...... despite it's greatness, it somehow still remains an 'unsung hero'!

Seriously, I cannot praise it enough. In my opinion, irrespective of being 2D, it is THE best souls-like game to come to a non-FromSoftware developer.

Art style and character creation is fantastic, and the build diversity certainly rivals the original Dark Souls.

Normally you can grab this from the Switch e-shop at around roughly <~15 £GBP... which is a steal!! Really look forward to hearing your thoughts.

If you love souls, and especially those with metroidvania elements, then you're in for a ride

@Ravio18 If you don't mind games with 'Souls-like' mechanics...

I would highly highly recommend 'Salt & Sanctuary' - an amazing 2D side-scrolling metroidvania, which serves as a bit of a love letter to Dark Souls / FromSoft games.

Lots of focus on build diversity / skill tree, but great metroidvania elements too. Honestly one of my favorite games of all time, and amazing replayability! (considering different builds etc)
