I've played about 60 hours - which is litteraly all of the time I've had to game since it came out - and I don't think I've scratched the surface. I've done lots of side quests and side plots, shrines and towers, but only the Rito main quest. I'm in no hurry!

@sanderev I've been doing very much the same! I've completed all the memories, shrines and divine beasts, plus all the DLC content. I'm just pottering around on my motorbike now, idly completing side quests and then it's off to the castle to finish the job.

I was just about welmed by Temple of Osiris on PS Plus about eight years ago. If it was the full fat reboot / definitive edition then that would be something to get excited about.

Breath of the Wild! I started again from scratch a month or two again. I've completed the main story and all the DLC. I'm just working through the shrines now. Only 27 to go.

Diablo II and Diablo III together for £16.49 is a great deal. It's not very obvious that it's on sale though, because you have to hit the Prime Evil Collection tab on the Diablo II listing.to see it.

Diablo Prime Evil Collection can be picked up for £16.49. It's got to be the stand out deal of the sale for me. It includes both Diablo II Resurrected and Diablo III Eternal along with extra DLC! It's not an obvious one to spot. Go to Diablo II Resurrected on the eshop and hit the tab for the Prime Evil Collection.

Rive is on sales in the UK at the moment. £1.34 I believe. Bargain.

It's the first Metroid Game that I've ever played. I've seen the Game Over screen on this one more than any game I can remember.

I would love to play No Man's Sky on Switch. I was actually always really positive about the Playstation version when it first came out, and I'm really pleased to see that it's proven its detractors wrong and grown into the fine game that it is. I'd pass if it was a Cloud version, but if it's native (and it sounds to me like it is) I'm in.

I bought Pokemon Legends for the small people in my life. I had a quick go earlier, but I'm hoping to crack on with some Ni No Kuni when they go to bed.

It looks to be in a much better state than previous footage that's been shown, which is something of a relief. I'm happy to sit back and wait for reviews though, I'm not going to pre-order.

Life's too short for bad games. With so much information about games available from forums, review sites and review channels. I don't understand why anyone wastes their time with them.

I've added it to my Wishlist. It looks like something I'll enjoy.

Enjoying Brilliant Diamond, but might be tempted by something in the sales. If I did buy something new, it would be Death's Door. I put it on my wishlist along with The Wild at Heart.

Added to wishlist.

I'm actually enjoying Brilliant Diamond more than I've enjoyed a Pokemon game in a long time. It's a proper old school Pokemon adventure.

Nice! Loved the Fast Show.

I loved this game on Wii and Vita... I might buy it again!

A Boy and his Blob is a lovely game, I'll do well to stop myself buying it for the third time.

I've really enjoyed Horizon Chase Turbo on Switch. It has a really nice balance of nostalgic gameplay and modern finesse. I'll certainly pick this us.

@Ainze. Excellent points, well made.

I've been playing Metroid Dread and then using Animal Crossing to calm down afterwards.

@Dragonslacker1 It's my first Metroid and it's certainly not an easy game! I'm still making progress but I can recognise many of your frustrations! Rightly or wrongly, I'm just trying to "navigate upwards". I'm exploring everywhere, trying to fill in the map as much as I can. I'm enjoying it but yeah, it's pretty challenging.

I have an OLED Vita which has been used a lot. It has zero burn in. It's not something that would worry me on a new Switch OLED.

If I needed to replace my Switch, I'd definately replace it with an OLED. If I had loads of disposable income, I'd definately get an OLED. Sadly, I'm flat broke and my launch Switch is still working fine!

That's all me baby!

I've played a bit of Cruis'n Blast this morning which I really enjoyed. Mostly though I'll be romancing Leah down on the farm.

I've had quite a long break from the Valley but now I'm about 40 hours into a new save. I'm noticing lots of little changes. I love it, it's one of my favourite games ever.

I had it in my head that the next game I was going to buy would be Metroid Dread. Then Eastward and Cruis'n Blast both came out and reviewed really well. I've spent the weekend trying to resist the temptation to buy either one or both of them.

I love that John at Digital Foundry didn't even get a review code, he went out and bought it himself and enjoyed it so much that he made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qfz2_Eys3I

I love the game, but I've always found it... a challenge. I'm not too proud to take the funky way out.

It's worth following a few deal sites like Hotukdeals - which has a very active Nintendo community. There's always deals to be had, but often you need to be quick. From experience, many of the deals are honoured even if they are a misprice. I missed this one, but Curry's will probably have it for £34.99 either on the day of release or shortly after. That's how I've purchased my last few big Nintendo releases.

It's been discounted by 50% in the UK eshop, but £24.99 still seems like too much to me.

I love this game. I have it on Switch, on my phone and on Vita / PS4. That short day loop is so compelling. I'll just play one more day, so I can get the Cauliflower in. No, it's 1AM - in real life - get to bed!

I've played over 250 hours and completed only 30% of the game! I haven't gone mad for Koroks, or shrines but I have completed the main story and the DLC. I think my children play a lot on my save (although they have their own saves too) which may have inflated the hours without increasing the progress.

I really enjoyed New Horizon when it came out and happily ploughed over a hundred hours into it before I started to get bored. I haven't played it in a long time, but I still consider any game that gives you 100 hours of enjoyment a success. I might start over at some point, I'm sure with all the updates there's a lot of new content for me to check out.

I've just bought this in the current sale. I played it for a couple of hours last night and I absolutely love it. Like Alex says in his review, the writing is excellent. It really made me laugh!

Lovely Ghibli, that's genius. Made me chuckle. There's no mistaking that this site is based in the UK.

I was given a Game Boy for Christmas in the early nineties. The first game I had on it was Tetris, but my favourite Game Boy game was Monster Max. I could still hum the music to you now.

I'm enjoying playing the game again, but for me the controls are somewhat of a barrier to that enjoyment - both the motion controls and the analog stick controls have issues, but the motion controls are the better option. It's not until I started playing the game again that I realised how much of the game is built around the controls though. Having to slash the Piranha Plant / Deku Baba either horizontally or vertically depending on how they open their mouths, the way Bokoblins block attacks forcing you to attack from different sides, it's all built from the ground up with the motion controls at the heart of things. It's difficult to see how they could remove them without having to start over.

@blindsquarel I love BoTW. After completing the main story several times, I still just enjoy romping around Hyrule, raiding camps, playing around with the physics. I still see things that I've never come across before. I still love running across a hillside with the foxes at sunset. I don't get bored of it. I understand why people like a linear experience, but the gift of BoTW for me is that it is so open. It's like a Hyrule simulator, that just lets you exist in this wonderful fantasy place, where you can do whatever you like, whenever you like.

Is it any good? Like you guys don't know!

If Nintendo need any other new ideas there's always a front facing camera and a rear touch screen.

I'm fine with my launch Switch then. My wallet lives to see another day, thanks Nintendo!

Bit cautious about downloading updates after the last fiasco. Think I'll leave it a while this time.

To be fair, it's probably the level of celebration that this summer deserves.

I had no idea there were so many.

£16.66 is a good price for Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA on the UK eshop - https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Ys-VIII-Lacrimosa-of-DANA-1325712.html

I think I'll stick with Everybody's Golf on Vita then.

But it'll still be two days 'til I say I'm sorry?
