@BrewsterTea Thanks for the tip 🙂 But it's not necessary a bad thing, I prefer not having my hand held in games. I think I have a quite good understanding of what I can do on the free time, I just have the feeling that I'm wasting time running around, especially on the world map, and that my recruits are under leveled. Eager to try to do better in the other paths!
I'm already 20 hours in FE Fortune's Weave 🤓 Only on Theodora's path so far. Feeling a little lost on how to optimize my free time, but I also like that I should figure it out on my own.
As someone not interested in Metroid and Kirby this direct was a bit disappointing. Eternal Anima looked really nice though. And I was happy about Layton and Starfox Adventures. Also maybe time to finally play the Resident Evil 2, 3, 4?
I'm playing Blue Prince. Filling in my little notebook on the side is pretty fun. Should also continue Sea of Stars with my partner, we want to finish it before Orbitals is released.
While recovering from a migraine yesterday I finished both Trails in the Sky chapter 1 and The House in Fata Morgana (main story). Want to get back to Octopath Traveler 0 and The Hundred Line - Last Defense Academy and hopefully finish at least one of them before new Fire Emblem and Trails in the Sky chapter 2 release. But this weekend my time goes to splatfest in Splatoon 3, Duskbloods network test and on PC some Kletka with friends and partner.
Really looking forward to this! But my partner and I haven't decided yet who will be which character. We rarely base it on gender, but more on personality, colors, smaller features like hair style, height and such. Leaning towards me being Omura and him Maki I think.
@Varoennauraa I'm a little ashamed to admit I haven't even tried the mouse mode yet, keep forgetting about it. But your comment made me intrigued, that sofa mode does sound nice. Do you have any recommendations for good mouse mode games?
EDIT: just saw your list, thanks!
@Ryu_Niiyama Ah, for some reason I thought this was taking place before Three Houses. But it has to be Seteth, right? Why else give him the same name and similar looks?
I used to be very excited for Kynseed, had it on top of my Steam wishlist and waited patiently for the full release. But after reading reviews I realised it probably wouldn't turn out the way I wished. Maybe I'll try it out on a sale sometime, but there are just so many other interesting farming games getting my attention these days.
Just moved on to the final chapter of Trails in the Sky. Such a nice and cute game, already looking forward to the next one. Will also play Splatoon Raiders and The House in Fata Morgana depedning on my mood, and some Unrailed 2 with my partner.
Today is board game day with friends though!
That "bargain price" used to be pretty high not long ago. I find myself being more selective with games now due to the price. But I will probably buy this before sale anyway, the Splatoon series is one of my favourite after all.
Back to Ring Fit Adventure and Fitness Boxing after feeling more energized when having played Fitness Ciruit for some weeks. Really enjoying Trails in the Sky 1st chapter and still finishing The House in Fata Morgana, should be pretty close to the end based on the hours, then there's also the extra stories I'll probably continue straight away.
I love board games and card games, and the art style is appealing to me. It is a downside with no local multiplayer though. At least we have several switch systems at home so we can still play together, but it's not as cozy. Is the lack of local multiplayer because cards should be hidden from other players? We've played the digital Wingspan version with open cards and that worked pretty well anyway.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Have you played the Zero Escape and Danganronpa games? The House in Fata Morgana if you're into historical romance that spirals into something else... not too many choices, but there are some different endings.
@Morsel I was wondering last weekend weather you'd like PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid's Curse. Good to hear, I played the first one and will get this eventually
This weekend will be alot of splatfest in Splatoon 3 (when I'm not outside in the nice weather). It's the only time I play turf war, my least favourite mode. This splatfest theme is really interesting as fighting styles meet each other. Finishing up The House in Fata Morgana. I really did get hooked, now almost 30 hours in. Some more Fitness Circuit, at rank 20. Sea of Stars with my partner. Oh and I finally got Trails in the Sky 1st chapter on sale. Hope to squeeze in that as well, haven't started it yet.
I was torn between speed and tactics. Always speeding around, but throwing bombs in carefully chosen positions and surveilling and protecting my team mates. I prefer team tactics in the end!
@TerribleTerabytes I can understand your point, but I think pure co-op games get a freedom to become even better at co-op:ing. Otherwise it can feel like co-op is just an option which might not suit the game or isn't that fun.
I've never been someone who has the newer phone versions, so finding out that my phone wasn't compatible was a bummer. I remember my friends just suddenly had to run away somewhere to catch some rare pokémons.
I got The House in Fata Morgana on sale a few days ago and I'm hooked, already 10 hours in. Love it in handheld mode. It doesn't yet feel extraordinary, but I enjoy reading historical romantic novels anyways, and I'm eager to continue to what I've heard are the better parts.
Also got Sun Haven but a little disappointed there. It's very much fantasy Stardew Valley with a few things that are bothering me.
And I'm trying to do some Fitness Circuit every day.
Currently in the lowest sale so far and almost a year ago since last one. I'm curious but also taken back by some of the comments: that it contains sexism and that it seems big parts of the story are boring. Is it actually enjoyable throughout the game or only when you get to the end?
I'm still not sure. Really like the co-op aspect of regular Splatoon, the feeling is just so nice when a team plays well. And I never were that excited for the single player dlc:s. However, this looks more appealing with the treasure hunts and upgrading things.
I'm still exploring older Fire Emblem games, since I completly missed them during my childhood. Playing FE: Path of radiance this weekend, about 8 hours in and I think the story is coming along. Finished FE: Sacred Stones recently. I never understood how to raise the support levels so all my characters ended up solo, haha. Also playing BIG big run in Splatoon 3!
Would have wanted the Switch 2 version if I hadn't already played through the first Xenoblade twice, on Wii and Switch. But quite excited to replay the second and third. And super excited for the fourth!
I'm curious about this one. My mum and I played the newer games in the Tomb Raider series, and this looks similar and like something we would enjoy playing together.
I think I've completed the main story in Pokopia but still want to find more pokémons and do side quests. One thing that threw me off a little was when some pokémons moved into houses and my environment level dropped because they disliked it 😫 Next game to come back to is DQ XI S. My latest save was early 2021! I think it looks better now on switch 2? Also playing Octopath traveler 0 after a smaller break.
Reading some of the comments here got me more interested. I'm just not sure I'd like the building aspect (at least if it's "aimless", just pure creativity without goals is not for me). And the price is definitely an issue, would have given it a try for half the price.
This weekend my mum is visiting. We like to play scary or cute games together. She thought Planet of Lana looked nice so we started that yesterday. We'll also try to finish Silent Hill 2. Next up maybe some Resident Evil game? We only played Village before.
I like the starters but it feels like we've seen them before. The grass owl, the water lizard... The dog is new though, but dogs have previously been early game pokémons.
@Divide_and_Wander I consider my backlog to be all the games I've never tried yet. Over 200 games on steam, mostly because I buy bundles and trade keys... It used to stress me out a lot, but now I'm trying to be more chill and play games I really want to in the moment. On switch 2 I actually try to avoid that kind of backlog. I only have some games I'd like to get back to and finish, which I've started to do this year.
I will play Reanimal with my partner, and continue Paranormasight. Also got back to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy that I didn't play since 2020. I've only played through one and a half game of the triology, feels nice to be back!
Played the demo with my partner, we'll probably buy the full game day one and play during the valentines weekend (if we can take a break from Nightreign). I also like to support developers from my country Sweden : )

Re: Nintendo Direct September 2026 - Every Game, Announcement And Trailer
As someone not interested in Metroid and Kirby this direct was a bit disappointing. Eternal Anima looked really nice though. And I was happy about Layton and Starfox Adventures. Also maybe time to finally play the Resident Evil 2, 3, 4?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th September)
I'm playing Chained Echoes in handheld since my partner uses our TV for Dragons Dogma 2. Very cosy!
Re: 78 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In Nintendo's Blockbuster eShop Sale (UK)
Got Chained Echoes in this sale. I hope to finish it before the big release fest starting in two weeks!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th August)
I got Fields of Mistria on Steam right when it released from early access and I'm not doing anything else than playing that at the moment.

Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For August & September 2026
Day one buys for me are Fire Emblem and Orbitals. Possibly Trails in the Sky 2nd chapter if I can't hold on for sale. Suuuper excting times!

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Estimated File Size Revealed
I was getting excited to replay this, but it's hard enough to clear GB for new smaller games... and a new SD card might not be worth the price.
Re: 88 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In Nintendo's eShop Summer Sales (Europe)
This type of list had me discover Vanillaware, I first got Unicorn Overlord then 13 Sentinels. Loved both.
Now I got curious about Unsighted as I saw it has co-op. Will have to look up if it's good co-op.
Surprised Tunic didn't get more than an 8 here!

Re: Final Fantasy Resonance Gets A Stunning New Trailer Ahead Of Switch 1 & 2 Launch
Gorgeous, I love that art style! And the gameplay and world remind me of Golden Sun. I've not played many FFs but will most likely pick this up.

Re: Poll: Splatoon 3's Raiders-Themed Splatfest Kicks Off This Weekend, Which Team Gets Your Vote?
