The wizards at Panic Button are amazing. The game runs sooooo smoothly and looks absolutely amazing. When I jumped out of tutorial temple and saw the hell on earth landscape with walking giant my jaw dropped.
Huge improvement on the map and navigation... everything is very obvious where to go with colored highlights to help navigation so you don't get lost. THANK YOU!
Jump rope challenge is an awesome fitness game! It allows me to actually jump rope since I can't do it with an actual jump rope without tripping myself. LOL.
I am very impressed with the accuracy of jumping rope in this game. It actually gets my heart-rate higher than any of ring fit's exercises... or... jumping rope in real life. I have a very hard time jumping rope in real life because I keep hitting the darn rope... no problems getting heart rate up here!
This will be an amazing game to play 2P with my Wife. She loves short simple mini-games and the presentation/tips are super helpful for new games I haven't played before!
Ring Fit is an AMAZING exercise-game hybrid. I do daily AM swimming for my daily exercise... and then use Ring Fit as my SUPPLEMENTAL bonus exercise calisthenics in the evening after work (assuming I don't fall comatose after work). It is really great for having additional exercise in evening for fun and not have to go to a gym. It is not a primary exercise program but is great for motivating me to do extra exercise since I am also playing a game.
I am really looking forward to this game as a way to supplement my AM swim routine to add exercise minutes in a fun way at home. Funny week of releases... I could run across fields virtually in Witcher 3... or run physically in Ring fit! Physical all the way.
This game is the equivalent of a mug of hot chocolate and blanket on a cold snowy day. I love all the fan service and the tables are excellent. Career mode is a lot of fun and gives the game a nice "goal" to work towards.
I love the improvements and permanent upgrades (that are actually explained and accessible) they added to crypt of necrodancer format to make it accessible. Awesome game.
Thank goodness! I loved the characters of the first game... but the open world exploration of the first game was SOOOO CONFUSING! I had to play it with a FAQ open just to find my way around (yes I know it was trying to replicate N64 exploration levels... but ... give us a Mini-Map with objectives ... please!).
This is a much improved idea to focus on linear levels and focus on characters + platforming - the strengths of the team and characters.
Played game last night - it is a quality game. The controls and gameplay are good. The game is HARD but FAIR. I grinded the tutorial boss for cash to buy health upgrades. Feels great when you finally beat a boss.
Played it last night and each character is very distinct. Really nice mechanic between using using specials for points... vs... charging and not shooting. Very good risk/reward and skill reward system. Nice graphics BTW.
Really looking forward to co-op play with my Wife on this game. Yoshi Wooly World was amazing fun and the demo for crafted world was awesome. Love the arts aesthetic!
@Fake-E-Lee Great summary of why my Wife and I love the switch... it "fits" into our adult life so we aren't tethered to TV. Love the SLEEP and PAUSE anytime function. I can actually make progress in RPG's again!
Having bought and spent some quality time with the game this weekend.... Ape Out is a game that NEEDS to be played to be understood. The music is an INTEGRAL of the game and the game "feels" perfectly as an escape rampaging Ape running for your life as you play because of how the music responds to you.
Found a great interview with musical director that puts this connection in a much better language than I can.
Captain Toad was one of my top 5 games for Wii U.... So glad it found a new audience with Switch... and absolutely LOVING the COOP with my Wife and new levels.
Piranha Plant is so much fun to play as! I love his personality and that his solution to everything is "bite it"... long live Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors!
The Palutena Guidance for Piranha Plant is absolutely hilarious!
I am quite enjoying the Quentin Tarentino vibe I get while playing... it is a fun game and indie collaboration and wackiness really give it some character.
@Heavyarms55 No worries about the reveal... they do a 1-2 hour deep dive on each statue. Just worry about your wallet and display space. Someday... I would have enough to afford one.

Re: Review: Creature In The Well - You've Never Played A Pinball Game Like This
The graphics and art look soooo good in motion.
I love the pinball mechanics.
The creature and atmosphere is top notch. I love how creature taunts you and throws you out of well if you die.
Innovative and fun.
Improvements - a bit hands off in explaining mechanics. Hint - you can heal in pools in town after you die.
