@Druidsbrook Yes, I feel the same way. Caves, dungeons, and evil team bases were Pokemon staples growing up. Coming back to the series during Gen 8 and finding that Galar had no dungeons at all in favor of open zones never sat right by me. Let's not even mention the bland emptiness of Paldea.
Don't get me wrong, freely exploring is also a series staple. But it should be balanced by some good old fashioned dungeon-crawling. Modern Pokemon games just aren't the same without it.
It's almost funny at this point how Bethesda have a consistent track record of new updates breaking Skyrim and needing follow-up patches to fix the issues introduced. The Anniversary Edition release was exactly the same. I never had any crashes on Switch before that DLC came out. It's good that they do fix these things though, credit where credit is due.
Still playing my purple Switch Lite and loving it. The Switch 2 is just too rich for my blood unfortunately, it's going to take some saving before I can finally pick one up.
In the meantime, I'm in the exact same boat about the backlog. There are so many games that I've barely even touched! More than enough to keep me busy for the foreseeable future. It probably doesn't help that I keep making new characters in Skyrim, doing an archmage run now.
I think that now is a fine time to get down to playing all my unplayed Switch games. I have so many, though not as many as most people here, I'm sure. First time commenting, though I've been on the site for years. Hi everyone!
I also think that I'll be buying more indie games over the big releases for the foreseeable future. Metroid Prime 4 is a must, I admit that. But otherwise, all of the games I'm looking forward to the most this year are indies: Witchbrook, Silksong, Hades II. I am SO excited for Hades II! Supergiant can inject it into my veins lol.
And I'm just as glad that all of these games are coming to the original Switch, because I'm certainly not getting a Switch 2 day one. Maybe a year or two down the line. We'll see what the prices look like in future.

Re: Diablo II: Resurrected Announces New 'Warlock' Class, And It's Available Today
A new class after all these years? That starting price is crazy, but I'm sure it'll be down to $10 on sale in no time.
