Re: Review: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III - Falcom's Famous Series Was Worth The Wait On Switch

I'm on the fence about this one.

Trails in the Sky FC/SC remain among my most favourite games, but I've never played Cold Steel I/II so I'm not sure I want to jump into this one without the necessary backstory.

Story/character development is majorly important in the LoH games so it feels kind of wrong to risk having a half-baked experience.

TBH I'll probably end up buying it. I'm a sucker for a good jrpg.

Mostly Fire Emblem Three Houses. I'm over halfway through the Black Eagles story and it's really kicking off, after a slow start.

I've also been playing a bit of SteamWorld Heist, the smaller levels are a nice change of pace from my lengthy FE3H sessions.

It's my last day of holiday so I'll try and play some Borderlands with my wife too.

Just finished the first Spyro game in the Reignited Trilogy. My kids have watched me play much of it and I had to resist turning the air blue during the final chase with Gnasty Gnorc.

I'll be starting Borderlands tonight with the wife and I'll find time after that for Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

@JoeDiddley Octopath Traveler is great. I was like you at first tbh, bought it on release and lost interest after about 10 hours. I've gone back, restarted and despite my limited gaming time I'm now about 125 hours in and gearing up for the endgame content.

I'm not usually much of a completionist but this game really got it's hooks in me after chapter 2.

Chapter 1 can be a bit tedious and the game is a bit too grindy at times but if your a fan of lengthy RPGs then the game is ultimately worth a bit of patience.

Playing ARMS free test and loving it. Definitely will buy at some point, will be great for family game time.

Trying out the Bravely Default 2 demo. Combat feels sluggish compared to Octopath Traveler but it's growing on me. Liking the characters and art design.

Still chipping away at the aforementioned Octopath Traveler and will likely play some Mario Kart 8 and Bubble Bobble 4 Friends with the kids.

Haven't played the original Bioshock in years, still one of my favourite all time games so I'm pleased to see the collection on Switch.

Never played Xenoblade, that'll be a day one buy for me. On top of that for me is Trails of Cold Steel III, Bravely Default 2 and Catherine. Spring/summer is starting to look busy for me.
