Funny enough rhythm games are the one genre I don't want physically because it's nice to have them at all times to dip in for a few songs rather than change the cart constantly. xD

@graviton

Glad I could help! I really hope you enjoy it
There's a very deep system and loads of content there for those who like tinkering with it, I respect it but my brain just doesn't work that way!

Completely agree! I've played and loved 11 and Builders (would play the others in a heartbeat if they were remade) But this and Treasures didn't do it for me. Didn't even buy that other spin-off that came out recently.

@Lizuka
OMG, this xD
Love farm sims but never played it before. Really excited to play it!

Roots of Pacha, fantastic so far!

@JohnnyMind

No problem! I would also like to add the fusing of monsters is a bit like SMT/Digimon and that really wasn't my sort of thing, so I've since left the game, I wanted something more traditional sadly. But that's more a me problem than the game's fault.

That was quite a hot take, so I'm surprised anyone agreed xD

Reviews are helpful and I appreciate them but too many people let them affect their decisions too much, or flare up when it's not what they expected them to be. Reviewers are just people, talented people, but people nonetheless and everyone is different and will have a different opinion.

@Hellaween
Mine came early yesterday, played for a few hours.

Performance is kinda bad. Lots of pop in and low frames for monsters that are quite close to you, rain makes it worse, textures feel very budgeted. Story is simple and pretty much non-existent so far.

Maps are small but the season changes makes them feel bigger because you essentially have to explore them 4 times to see all the monsters/access all the areas.

It scratches that pokemon itch well and I really like it despite the issues. Seems more simplistic than pokemon on the surface but I think there is some depth here with the fusing of monsters.

You can speed up battles and automate them for grinding.

When levelling up you can either choose new moves or put them into stats which I thought was neat.

In important battles you can't pick the monsters moves, just its tactics (heal, go all out ect) some wont like that.

If you are a pokemon forgiver and could see the good in scarvi you'd probably like this. But if that game was unacceptable for you then steer clear as it is better but still not that far off performance wise. No bugs yet though.

Ui is nice and clean.

Lots of paid DLC which is yucky.

@Not_Soos
Because people don't actually read reviews and just look at the number at the bottom. People are also unable to think and judge for themselves and if they don't agree with a score/review policy they have to make up reasons as for why the outlet is wrong before they've even played it for themselves.

I currently have that cold that everyone has at the moment, So I'll just be playing some pokemon charged red or liquid crystal. If I can manage it I wanna play some more Hogwarts Legacy

Objection, there are no 'worst' songs in this game.

@the_beaver
You put * at the start and the end of the word

It was really tough to pick which one to play first, but ultimately I went with P5T, but I'll be playing SMRPG as soon as I'm finished with it ^^

Never played it the first time around, I can't wait ^^
RPG fans are eating well lately ^^

@RSSR
Good on you for putting your grades first! I wish I did!
Hope you do well

Trails in the sky as well as Pokemon firered omega

Mine came today ^^ playing it now!

@Mince
This!

Looks good, gonna grab it!
I still need to buy mageseeker as well.

No Drifblim, for shame!

I'm gonna start Dave the diver methinks!

Darn I just bought this earlier >.<

I'm currently playing through the Blue lions route on Fire Emblem three houses, really enjoying it. I wanna see all routes, so I'm playing pokemon snakewood on the side just in time for spoopy season.

@Lony85
It's a blast. 4 abilities isn't as mad as it sounds because they all make sense for the Pokémon. The quality of life stuff is insane in the game too, being able to make a battle ready mon in a menu feels like a pipe dream. It's by far my favourite hack I've played so far. though saying that I'm stuck on Tate and Liza right now :' though I am playing on elite because I hate myself xD

Not sure. Might carry on my playthrough of pokemon elite redux as well as see what the backlog has to offer. Tempted to play fire emblem three houses as well

Gotta be Did you know gaming surely.

It was going to be Silent hope, but it sucked so I sold it on. I'll be booting up TOTK until my copy of Harvest Moon the winds of anthos arrives.

@CartoonDan
This reminded me that my partner jokingly called him 'gammon' in bed the other night and didn't know he was actually evil bacon (a pig) when he feels like it.

I never got into lego, and being an AC fan these didn't change my mind thankfully (I don't got that kinda money lol)

I want to buy this but their previous game Lonesome village constantly crashed on me on Switch so I'm aprehensive.

I don't care about the game, just came here to say how well than nose and 'stache suit Alex xD

@shining_nexus
Oh yeah its a beautiful game, the soundtrack is great and the writing is the best I've seen in a while (it's right up my street)
Maybe some patches could do wonders for it, in terms of performance but I can't see them fixing the core loop, but others seem to like it so IDK.

I have been finding lately that the influx of life sims (specifically farm sims) hasn't been good for the genre. I haven't found one I've absolutely loved in such a long time, just bits and bobs in all of them that I like but no complete package.

I discovered VN's a couple years back and I have to agree, only problem is I enjoy psycological horror VNs and they are few and far between. What one's do you enjoy/have you played?

@shining_nexus
Most welcome
Even if they fix the performance issues and bugs I still really didn't find the gameplay loop fun at all, and life sims are my fave genre, so... xD

This game was fun at first but it got SO grindy, I couldnt finish it. It seems I had a lot more performance problems than the reviewer, and it turns out it couldn't even be finished, it doesn't deserve that much high praise imo, hope I can post my hot take here:
https://x.com/Nidorom/status/1707840164377117081?s=20

Got burned a lot on Switch with Faefarm, Mineko's Night garden and monster crown dissapointing me. So I'm going to cry into pokemon emerald trashlocke to soothe the pain until I have faith to start something else on Switch.

This is the best thing I've ever seen/heard in my whole life.

I remember seeing the trailer for the game on here and that's it, had no idea it was releasing this week o.O

Also didn't know it was a series, can I start here?

@SpoonySpoons
This made me chuckle this morning xD

I am a grotesque human being and appreciate the humour, and subject matter xD

P.S The graphics are hardly realistic. xD

@Leecpfc
I saw the game on Eshop and brushed past it because of the thumbail, @nintendolife really helps in that regard.

Not sure to be honest still torn between starting either slime rancher or Fae farm.

Picked this up pre reviews because the combat seemed cool and this review just confirmed that. Looking forward to getting around to it ^-^

Yeah they need to leave the hell alone. Nintendo aren't perfect, far from it but they are a damn site better than most companies out there, they are doing fine without any interference.

MS won't be happy until they own everything, a company like that can't be trusted.

@AlienigenX
You have great taste
p.s I loved that game so much, GOTY for me.

pps, me and my partner did the exact same with that dungeon, but with rockets. He's usually amazing at puzzles//dungeons so I enlist his help if I'm stuck and he was like yeahhhhno and yeeted up and cheesed it xD

Not sure what my plans are today, don't really want to start anything because my partner is going to be off work for two weeks starting tommorow, so I will be roping him into co-op shenanigans before I lose him to FIFA (or whatever it's called these days) with Unravel 2, Vampire Survivors, Nobody saves the world and god knows what else.

Maybe I'll just continue my playthroughs of Pokémon stone dragon and Sword and sheild GBA. If I'm feeling frisky, I might start well, a fresh start because I really loved the other farming/vaccuming game; No place like home and they look similar. When I do let him free my next big game will be Faefarm which I'll start midweek no doubt.

Edit: Baten Kaitos should also be in the post today, will be hard not to boot that up, but I'll resist. I need to play more of the Pokémon DLC when I can be bothered, after such a gap I forgot how annoying encountering small Pokémon underneath you was, and as I've been playing roms at 4X speed it feels extra slow to me now. Also need to swallow my salt and get back to sea of stars because I got rekt at the start of it and it put me off of it completely, but I know there's a good game in there. TOTK will be played this week as well after a break of so many months, I love the game, I wanted to make it last.

I played a bit earlier and realised I was having more fun with rom hacks, so...
I will finish it though.

Yup have it pre-ordered going in blind, I have no idea if they will be good or not, but they seem cool!

That makes me feel really old, so thanks for that.

Bookmarking this for later, I picked Rune Factory 3 to be played first, but I just know I'm going to need this guide in the future. Thanks for all your hard work! Literally not enough time for all the farm sims releasing lately/soon!

There are like 50 farming games out this month/last few days but I decided on playing Rune Factory 3 Special first, I'm enjoying it so far. If I can claw myself from that I've started pokemon stone dragon only up to the first gym on it so far. My partner is away with friends (we are never apart other than work really) so I've been picking up drawing again as well because the time seems to pass quicker.

We shouldn't be rushing him but he shouldn't have announced HC that early, could have worked on it in secret, and unveiled when he felt comfortable to do so. :S

Options hurt nobody and I'm sad for those who can't play as the gender they want to, but at the same time I see why they kept the integrity of the original game.

I'm a 90's female and gender has never bothered me in games. Did I choose to play as a girl in pokemon Crystal? Of course I did, but I would have loved the game just as much if it hadn't been an option and I still feel the same way today. I played the AWL remake as a male because that's how I originally played it, and I usually go for a batchelorette over a batchelor if given the choice, I feel like female characters just have better designs overall in Japanese style games.

As long as the game is good I literally don't care what gender you play as.

Looking forward to getting stuck in when my copy arrives.
