I have Slay the Spire on PC an played a lot and liked it a lot.
It becomes repetative though if you play it that much, but certainly has great mechanics and is a game I will most likely come back again in between other games.

I really loved Wandersong - it was a heartwarming game I recommend to everyone it appeals the slighest too (even though I get that the artstyle and gameplay might not be for everyone). It is rather easy but has a whole lot of personality and is really relaxing to play.

I might be getting A Hat in Time this time around. I'm not really a platformer-person, but loved Super Mario Odyssey so maybe 3D-Platformers are indeed for me!

Also I'm interested in Ring of Pain, Forager and One Step from Eden.

This kind of made my day so far. Really well done parody and I liked the original song anyway.

I really liked the first one, so I am happy it gets a sequel. The trailer doesn't really spark my interest though. I loved the idea, the charm and the style of the first one. The puzzles were also good and the game was just short enough to keep my interest the whole time. What really made it special for me though were the musical boss themes - they were so hilarious and made the boss fights special. You almost wished for them to last longer so you could listen to their songs.
Though the song in this trailer doesn't really appeal to me I am confident the second game will be at least just as good as the first one.

I recommend anyone to watch the trailer for the first game to get an idea how creative the worlds are designed:

Also listen to the soundtrack, for example the spider theme song (song 3) for some neat boss battle themes:

"Dude"? I'm not a "dude".
You are stereotyping people and your previous argument was not only invalid regarding its causality, but also a dangerous way of judging a potential victim you never even met and turning it into the culprit.

@Edu23XWiiU
That's prejudice.

@Dezzy
How does the color of her hair and/or her being a radical feminist (what is a RADICAL feminist by the way? someone who is EXTREMELY in favor of equal rights for men and women?) have anything to do with her telling the truth or not?

Now I want at least an anime based on those especially the couples Ganondorf + Bayonetta, Pit + Daisy and Fox + Luigi!
Also I don't especially like Peach as a character, but the Boho-Look really suits her!
Didn't recognise Mega Man at all though!

It was so charming and fun! Loved the artstyle and writing as well!

Glad to see Yoku's Island Express getting an award! Great game! Charming, pretty, fun and innovative.

I totally get the Labo appeal and think the awards are well-deserved. If I was that level-editor kind of person or if I had kids this would totally be for me.

On the other hand I never really understood the attention and love "Into the breach" gets. It is definitely a good game. It has a fun mechanic, is well designed and everything. On the other hand there doesn't seem to be much more. Neither looks, charm, story/lore, ....? Still very recommended for strategy fans, but after all it isn't that special to me.

I'm stuck at the last level of Wargroove and right now have to take a break of it playing Apocalipsis: Wormwood Edition. Will try to finish Wargroove this weekend though (main campaign). Apocalipsis is not very long, so I might finish that aswell. Looks and sounds good. Like the artstyle and the setting. Don't really like the controls though.
Also I might continue Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition. I hate how the characters faces don't move at all while being fully voiced. Doesn't make any sense. But it was on sale and I liked the rest of the artstyle enough. Never played Final Fantasy before. The combat seems pretty basic in this. But it's fun and charming enough and won't take too long to beat. Probably will get Final Fantasy X/X2 as my next attempt in the series.

Being an actual graveyard administrator in real life, I am rather interested!
And my boyfriend almost bought it on Steam.
Let's see how it is prized since it got pretty mixed reviews.

I think this looks amazing and I don't have any issue with it being card-based. I like classical turn-based RPGs, but I also do like card-games and think Image and Form can hardly fail making this game great.
I must admit that I always liked, but never really got into the Dig-series (my boyfriend did though!). SteamWorld Heist was one of the greatest games on the 3DS-eshop for me. Loved the physics-based-turn-based-shooter-RPG it was going for. <3

Only disappointment to me was the vague "2019" release window. Suppose it will be rather autumn/winter then?

@BornInNorway81
I was in the same boat. Bought Brawl and didn't get it. Bought SSB for Wii U and kiiiind of got it, since the board game was fun to me.
Played it a lot with my boyfriend though we both sucked badly.
Then we found the Youtube channel of Jtails and discovered how to actually play Smash without falling off the ledge all the time.
I recommend the videos he did for Smash Wii U! Don't watch the Switch ones yet since they are less understandable. But the Wii U character tutorials opened my eyes and made the game far more interesting and fun to me. Though we still suck at playing Smash, but at least less than before .

@sikthvash @BenAV
It might refer to the fact that their world hasn't just passively ended, but is actively being ended by evil evilness. ;-]
I always though "The world ends with you" was a grammatically unsatisfying title aswell, though. Without context both titles just sound a little strange.

@Sammich
This doesn't give me hope for myself.
Got it on sale, tried it out once for maybe 10 minutes, was confused what to do, quit and never returned since.
I always think I should try again since it looks so interesting and is supposed to be great, but there are so many games I have, should return to and will buy at the moment...

Wow, he is that kind of boss you see in movies and games as the generic "bad guy" that you think nobody in the real world actually is like, huh?

Also it is quite the bad-guy-clischee to accidentally reveal you evilness on camera. O.o

@RainbowGazelle
Thank you! It's different and somehow strange that they changed it, but not creepier than anything else in the movie.

Unfortunately I couldn't get into the predecessor as much as I thought I would. Played it maybe three times. Didn't even leave the first island. I loved the artstyle and the idea. But for me there was just too many occasions where you couldn't do anything but to stand around and wait because you spend your money much faster than you get new money....maybe they fix this.

Can anyone recommend Valiant Hearts?

@nhSnork
Fair enough and the developers surely deserve support for their effort. And for the asking price the few hours refreshment you get from the great atmosphere and exploring something new probably are worth it. I felt a bit underwhelmed by the controls/crafting and the quantity of different islands coming from Don't Starve. Also wolves. So many wolves.

By the way: The Bridge is so great, but really surprisingly hard. I had to give up at a certain point. I got to a point where I just could not imagine a thing I could try to do and did not already fail at. Its crazy since the level is really small and seemingly simple. Usually I'm not that bad at puzzlers. Love the game for its originality and artstyle.

@nhSnork
Better grab Don't Starve if you haven't already (instead of Flame in the Floods). Flame in the Floods has a great style and I liked the music, but it got unfair and repetitive really quickly.

@nocdaes
Me too. I like the weirdness and generally like Pool.
The ugly artstyle and the mixed reception kept me hesitant though.

The first one was alright and had an interesting concept. I didn't find it nearly as touching as many people apparantly did. I might have liked it better if I saw it as a smartphone-game instead of a Switch-game. I didn't play the second one. A bundle makes sense though, but the price should be low, otherwise people might be disappointed by the games being short.

Wow, a lot of you Americans for sure pretty easy to bother with talking about politics. Why so?
Young people being frustrated and not voting is probably a 2st-world-problem though. In Germany this problem too exists. That's why the right-wing party gains power. If you see them demonstrate on the streets 70% of them are 60+.
Seeing that makes you recognise how powerful your vote can be. If their votes can change the face of our countries politics, so can everyone else.

Wandersong and Armello, both really great games!

Wandersong and Armello!
Both really great games!

Yes! I forgot that this game was still to come!
I love the style of Tomorrow Corporation. I binged Little Inferno twice. Loved Human Resource Machine a lot too, but unfortunately got stuck. Don't have a programmer's mind I guess.
Stangely enough somehow their biggest title World of Goo is a game I have trouble getting into. I'm just not patient enough.

Torna - The Golden Country.
It feel really sad playing this game and knowing that things won't end well at all for the people that grow on you during the game. Also I like that Mythra is even more of a b***h than in the main game. =]

@tonyhoro
I was there at the time and still it's hard for me to understand how it was even possible to find these graphics appealing at the time. When I saw Pokemon Stadium on N64 in the 90ies, for me that already felt like HD-graphics. Now I cringe just thinking about it.

Edit: I think everything before and after aged better. I personally do not like NES, Gameboy and everything even older graphicwise, but somehow I get how the simplicity has its appeal.

Does anyone find the graphics from that specific era appealing at all? That era is by far the least appealing one to me regarding video game graphics....

I like it for having a rather simple design. Also, it's cute.

I loved the style and storytelling of the first game. The gameplay was fun aswell if you are into Sims.
I tried maybe three times choosing the right things to avoid being shot by one of the two mafia gangs, but failed.
I even restarted the whole game because I was unsure if I messed up before the gang war even started.
This was the point I just stopped playing. Maybe I should consider a walkthrough aswell. The game had a great concept and atmosphere.

@Zuljaras
Honestly: I don't think performance matters at all with this game and that is the reason they didn't put it in. It is a graphic novel/police sim. It's all rather static and the design is minimalist, so neither framerate nor resolution are important.
They put it in the reviews when it is an important part of the game.

@Mrrabbitpuncher
Alright, thanks! If the plot is similarly stupid to the one in Codename: Steam, it might be right up my alley regarding that!

Does this have anything to do with Cthulhu?
Otherwise I am bored by the theme.
Tell history or tell an exaggerated story. But both don't go to well together, for me.

@Arnold-Kage
Oh right! Forgot the Smash-Direct in August and got mixed up!
Still I love these announcements, though I personally don't care at all about K. Rool and not that much about Animal Crossing, knowing how many people anticipated this really made me enjoy them.

@maruse
Huh?
I think there are at least 3 save files?

I think I will get this. I played it on 3DS, because it came with the system, but wouldn't have been interested otherwise. The game is really repetitive and kind of boring, but somehow the franchise grew to me. I like the character designs. And I think on the go this will be perfect and not as repetitive as me trying to get 3 consecutive hours of playtime out of it. Also I hope it is open world and with much more to do. For example the stuff they had going in Happy Home Designer (which I really liked a lot!).

And I love the way Nintendo trolls its fanbase with Smash. The King K. Rool one at E3 was amazing, the Luigi's Mansion one was great aswell and the Animal Crossing one was fun to. They really like to mess with our feelings.
It must be great to have fans that passionate that you can play those tricks on them.

I love the looks of it. Reminds me a little of the general artstyle of Level 5 games.
To me it immediately felt like a mixture of Fantasy Life and Yokai Watch and that really floats my boat.

The animation looks really clunky and the artstyle is bland and generic. A pass from me.

Ugly brown Joycon, but otherwise lovely design.

@hatch
I agree with you!
I don't like the new titles at all. It makes it hard to distinguish between news and reviews. I almost didn't recognise this review, because the title made it look like a regular article.

This looks amazing! Hope the gameplay holds up.

@Pod
It feels novel and to me it sounds good. It also has some slight, but nice rumble. It is a lot more satisfying than it is frustrating and you really get the hang of the basic mechanics very fast.
It feels pretty fair to me.
Though so far I only got to Island Nr. 3 and didn't do the end boss yet. There could be more Islands, but for the price the amount of content is alright and the hazards and enemies don't get old.

Edit: I also like the animation of the enemies creeping out of the ground. It's pretty creepy, especially when you lose....

I downloaded this game almost immediately after the Direct although I also found the visuals almost disturbingly basic. Not only in regard of style, but also the design choices are really really average and boring (though I like that you fight insects).
I liked a lot that the battlefields have a compact size and every level is really short. Also the gameplay is SO rewarding. The mechanics really make for some great combos and are still not in itself complicated. Also I think it is really fair that you can reset your units if they didn't attack yet and reset a whole turn once every level. The different units really mix up the gameplay aswell.
The music is great too, nothing to distracting, to me it has some Metroid-vibes.
I think the upgrade-system could be better though, since you hardly can upgrade your mechs at all (or I missed how you get those spheres and the energy for it).
I would give this game maybe an 8/10 because it really lacks a story and charm (visuals + characters). Gameplay is really addicting though.

@DickeyWord
Also they only publish those games.
Since someone else developed them you can hardly compare them to the games they themselves developed. Though admittedly I hoped they announced new games developed by themselves aswell.

Hm, both look fine, but don't have any of the charm their own creations have. Pretty sterile looking creations, but to be fair their genres aren't my taste aswell.

Edit: This comment only referred to the two games mentioned here....Hellsomething and Lonely.....I don't know....the bikeriding game. Cannot even remember their names for more than ten seconds. The last three games in the trailer look pretty neat.

@Sabroni
Sorry, I just forgot that backwards-compatability was also a criterium. You are right about that.
But still: Wii U counts. ;-]

@TokuWaffle
And also the Switch pretty much. Only with added handheld functionality.
They never really dropped the Wii's concept, just added to it.

I love the design of the planets and wildlife. Reminds me a lot of Xenoblade. I really hope this turns out well. It certainly looks very promising!
