@NRLPLSTCTY 50% off Dark Souls. Think I’m gunna nab it

Ahh the generation of the real Console wars. And I’m talking about the battles that were fought on the school playground, the school bus and in your local park . The constant arguing, bickering, shouting at/with your mates, ‘but Xbox is so powerful and has Halo’, ‘GameCube has the finest shade of indigo and has REmake and a…carry handle???’, ‘PS2 has everything else’. Actually had to buy magazines back then to keep upto date on everything as well as playground rumours. What a time to be alive.
GameCube was my fave (:

The Switch is a JRPG powerhouse! Love it

@BenAV
Dude I’ve done the same with Repentance, I’ve started a brand new save file as well. TBOI is my most played game on the switch and quite possibly ever and Repentance will easily triple my play hours.

Other than The Binding of Isaac, I will be playing Disco Elysium, Tetris Effect and Smash Bros.

An action packed weekend for me! Everyone else enjoy their weekend 😁

@MS7000 use deku deals to search sales my friend. It makes finding gold amongst the dirt so much easier

@johnvboy happy birthday! Have a good’n!

While I’m yet to decide whether or not Sunless Sea is a scary game, I’d like to thank the reviewer for highlighting it because I had no idea this game existed and it’s the perfect type of game I’ve been looking for. From looking at reviews and a few comments from people on here, it’s also a great game. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in tonight.
It reminds me a lot of my favourite (while not the scariest) horror game on the Switch, Darkwood. That game riddled me with the same anxiety and fear and dread I had when I first played Resident Evil on the GameCube and I highly recommend Darkwood to any survival horror fan.

Im hoping Cloud gaming is just an industry fad that will fail and inevitably fade away and join the ranks of 3D TVs and Minidisk players.

Metroid Dread, Smash Bros Ultimate, Tetris Effect: Connected and Dying Light. It’s going to be a fun weekend 😁

Had this on the Xbox One back in the day, never got to play it properly because the ex wife didn’t let me use the tv.
Different story now, literally just purchased this and going to rag it tonight and this weekend! ✌️ (Being single is underrated)

I reckon this game could be emulated in real life quite easily 🤷‍♂️

Open world or big open areas. I’m happy for either as long as the gameplay breaks and exceeds the tedious repetitive cycle of the main series Pokemon games.

Oooo that’s going straight in my basket

@mmakara81
Oh my, thanks very much for the offer. I honestly can not accept it though. I am in the UK anyways. You take care my friend ✌️

2 weeks until pay day. It’s gunna be a long 2 weeks but my god it will be worth it!

Took the plunge and got this last night. It really is like Dark Souls, Hollow Knight and Zelda made a baby.
I will be glad to see how the difficulty ramps up because most 3D platformers aren’t hard at all really.

Edit: after a day of playing this. I conclude that this game is sick and just the platforming challenge I’ve been looking for.

You spelt Baeyonetta wrong 🤩

This was my favourite game on the Xbox 360. A truly one of a kind experience that I hope Switch owners will be able to enjoy without being limited to a cloud version.

I was expecting to see Spelunky 1 or 2 on the list. Thought that game was more anticipated.
I’m still tempted by Slime Rancher. May pick that up soon!

Interesting you can also do this docked. There’s a few horror games I might get truly immersed in this way.

I’m getting Huntdown vibes from the trailer and that was my favourite sleeper hit of 2020. Will keep an eye on this.

Anyone remember Body Harvest (I think that’s the name)? Think that was one of the few N64 titles I did not complete. Would love to try again.
Never played Blast Corps either.
I don’t think Nintendo are going to charge more but if they did, I’ll be happy to pay extra for a good line up of other retro console libraries.

Calculator. All day long e’ry day

For thou who aren’t yet enlightened to the ways of the Spire. Do yourself the biggest favour and buy Slay the Spire. Best money I ever spent

For those yet to try. Horace is superb. Well worth the full price that one

Spelunky 2 & Monster Train: First Class. Having an absolute blast on them both

Anyone on the fence about this. I love Roguelites/likes, my switch is full of them. Ive played crap ones and I’ve played some excellent ones. This is leaning more to the excellent side.
Very original concept, gorgeous art style (reminds me of where’s Wally books), a lot of strategy (a lot of pre-planning with every move you take, combat, choices) and the difficulty is just right (some reviews have said it’s too difficult). There are risks around every action you take but you will be rewarded. The characters are interesting and it’s great to see a different bunch of heroes compared to the usual knight/Ranger/wizard affair.
The combat system did feel a little obtuse upon first playing it but once I understood the dice and how to get more dice, the combat system is actually pretty cool and it’s essential that pick your comrades well in order to get the most out of combat situations as well as random encounters etc.
I really enjoy the exploring side of things. It seems a little unfair at first but you’ll soon get the grips with managing your sanity (basically energy) and travelling will get easier with perks reducing your travel costs, increasing inventory space etc.
You can have dinosaurs as allies. Oh and you can mount them as well.
The only gripe I’ve had so far is that random perk events can be pretty unfair and can mess up your whole exploration party but I’ve learnt to deal with that situation if it comes to it now.
It’s such a chill game as well. And I’m hoping the content holds up as I go deeper into the game.

Getting my arse handed to me tonight. The deaths are pretty humorous

Monster Train has finally released baby! goodbye world

Curious Expedition 2. Really enjoying it so far.

@Eddy9000 I felt the same when I went into NG+ keep at it and you’ll get there eventually

It belongs in every avid gamers collection. It is up there as one of the best games ever made I swear @IronMan30

MHR and Subnautica for me.
They still can’t drag me away from Slay the Spire for long though haha

I just want to point out for y’all that Metro 2033 is about £2.40 and last light is about £8.20. Snapped them straight up. No idea if they are part of this sale though

Edit: I may have got them the wrong way round. Still an absolute steal if you want some immersive shoot em ups.

A sequel to the finest Mario game Nintendo never made 👌 can’t wait

Such a great game, real unique twist on the usual farming life sim. I really need to finish it!

While Subnautica follows the basic recipe in terms of survival games. It really is one of the most unique experiences you’ll ever have the pleasure of playing.

New Nintendo Switch Pro Hat XL Odyssey Edition confirmed

They’re getting ready to announce Stability Party 10

Nintendo Switch+

The problem I will always have with single player card games is Slay the Spire spoilt me with probably the best a single player card game can ever be until Slay the Spire 2 ever happens (and that might not even be as good).
Slay the Spire is a 10/10 masterpiece and best money I’ve ever spent and I recommend it even to gamers who don’t like card games. I’ve put over 300hrs into it!

Currently on sale £11.99 on uk eshop FYI @Burntbreadman

Superb game! I bought this game completely based on the trailer alone and it was my favourite purchase of 2020. Looking forward to the update!

Last time I played subnautica it was in early access on the Xboxone. It seemed ok then, I didn’t think it was an amazing game but I caught it in its early life.
I bought the double pack based off this review from game collection and it came yesterday (£40 is the cheapest I’ve seen physical anywhere for both games). The first 30 minutes, it felt like it wasn’t a game for me. But I stuck with it and didn’t get to sleep until 1am this morning, it hooked me in well and truly and looking forward to a good sesh this weekend. Great gameplay, great soundtrack and it really does look beautiful. The fear is also very real but once I got over the initial overwhelmingly intimidating ocean, the fear eased up (although I shudder when I read about the leviathan class creatures, and the fear will return then for sure). The UI/PDA (nothing worse than a laggy PDA in any game) is also incredibly responsive and easy to use and crafting was simple and quick.
I encountered some very minor pop up and very little frame drops but didn’t detract from the experience at all. This might change as the game progresses and areas get a bit heavier, but promising so far.

I will be jumping between Doom Eternal and MHR. I also picked up all the Outlast games to play in the evening. Great deals on the eshop, I couldn’t resist.

This is terrible news, means some poor parents will get tricked into buying it for their children without testing it out first.
Unethical business practice.

Well deserved sales. I haven’t been able to put it down and I can’t wait for future updates

REmake was the best video game remake in history imo. Nailed it on every level considering it’s base material was already amazing.
I know it will never happen with the great direction the RE series has gone with 7 and Village coming soon, but I’d love to see a new Resident Evil in this original style

I honestly think this game is nothing like Hades and it shouldn’t be compared. The only similarities are it’s a dungeon crawler rogue lite and it has an isometric view.

This game is very much its own game, it has its own ideas. You can adapt your build a lot more mid run, the curse system is great. You can parry and dodge roll. There is a stamina system. You can charge all attacks + weapon combos. Also a combo system that rewards you for playing better. You can plan your route along the dungeon. There are no permanent character upgrades, just unlocking weapons (and there is a lot), unlock new starting presets (which are randomised), and get rerolls. There are buffs like Hades however and that’s the closest comparison progressive upgrades wise.
It also feels incredibly well balanced and you get rewarded for playing well.
There is a lot here on offer that differs it from Hades.
Essential purchase for any roguelite fan.

What excellent news. This is such a beautiful game. Looking forward to it
