I really like tactics games and also short, in between epics, games. I'm not a big 'must have AAA super graphics' guy but these screenshots look really blurry, aside from the simple aesthetics. Wonder if it looks as bad 'in the flesh'.
This game is great but be aware that it does not run well on Switch 2 (yet). A lot of very annoying screen flicker when some enemies appear on screen and also in the menu section. I was glad I did not sell my og Switch yet so I can play it on that. Slow movement is sometimes annoying coupled with less than optimal placement of fast travel points. But besides that I really, really enjoy the old school Castlevania vibes done right.
Playing it on PS5. I like it, but the camera is very frustrating in tight spaces, corridors etc. when fighting enemies. Basically everywhere but open spaces. Made me ragequit more then a couple of times.
Check out Slay the Spire Downfall on Steam where you play as the boss characters from the main game! I've spend so much hours on both the original and the add-on. Still do, I just keep coming back. Can't wait for part 2.
@a_brave_new_geek Oh man, I remember getting the Atari ST version of Dungeon Master for Christmas way back when Loved that game and still love these kind of games. Legend of Grimrock was great. Could not get on with the second one. Kept getting stuck about halfway through because I did not know how to proceed. The 'open world' approach got a bit vague because of all the riddles.
Played Trails in the Sky and was hooked. Such a great game, story and characters. Best I had played in years. Currently playing part 2 and already bought the physical Switch duo Zero and Azure. Read in a different review that the story of Reverie is almost incomprehensible if you did not play the Cold Steel and Zero/Azure series. So I'm probably ready to play this chapter in 10 years time with the time it will take to finish those.

I'm a sucker for these kinds of puzzle games. The puzzles in the trailer look a bit too simple though.

Re: The Lara Croft Collection Will Finally Launch On Switch Later This Month
Come on, coincidentally (?) at the same time as this announcement both games together set you back € 4,50 in a temporary Steam sale....
Re: RPG Puzzler Might & Magic: Clash Of Heroes - Definitive Edition Heads To Switch Next Month
Played it on DS back in the day and recently played it again due to a Steam sale. Great game and a follow up would be awesome!
