Pointless to do a physical release if it doesn't include all dlc on a CART! You know, the REASON one would buy a physical game. This has me boiling. It's so stupid and wasteful!
I'll be blunt here. Various Daylife is a port of mobile game and you can really tell. Sure it has no microtransactions but everything from user interface to sound effects to bland dialogue to tutorial popups just screams phone game. You know what I mean.
Mmm, I love a grindy game!
Having bland and repetitive dialogue is a big problem tho. I mean look at Animal Crossing. The lack npc personality killed it for me there. Still, I did get 300 hours out of it but it could have been five times more.
As a boomer I think it’s inceedibly sad that this news spawned 5000 videos and articles about how there’s no dlc and they phrase it like ”we’re missing content” or ”the game is incomplete” etc. No!! Nintendo released a finished, done, complete product. That should be commended, not questioned! We’re not missing content, we got what we payed for. Something that is getting rarer and rarer these days. No dlc is a good thing, not a bad thing!
Tough choice. One comes from a first party developor famous for releasing stable, fun, 98% bug free products.
And the other is Sonic.
When was the last time we had a stable Sonic game at launch? 2017?
Like I said, tough choice.
Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer a kick-ash Sonic game over a Mario game. It's just that...there's only a good Sonic game once per decade, you know?
I will still argue that this is the best looking game on Switch. I still can't understand how they got it to run at a steady fps while other, less intensive games, still suffers from frame stuttering.
For me being visually impaired the characters are too small.
I don’t think I could play it comfortably like Rayman Legends or Guaccamelee or Trine or Celeste or any other good 2D platformer.
The character designs are extremely unique. Even for a Dangan Ronpa game I was pleasently suprised by the art direction. And the city and voice acting are great too!
I don't have very much to complain about except my glossary has bugged out and always displays "New" even though I've read every entry and tutorial.

Personally I think Ubisoft should stop putting their NEW games on sale two-three months after release. Wait at least a year.
Because currently I know that if I wait two months I can get a Ubi game at 30% off. And if I wait a year problably 50%-60% off. And a little bit more it goes for 80-90% off several times per year.
@intergalacticNikolai I loved that game! This is basically Order Up! but you run around between stations freely and you can give orders to your other chefs too!
Recepies are complex with many steps but controls and UI are simple so it balences out difficulty wise. Recepies are based on real life techniques. If you know that pasta should go in pre-boiled water with a bit of salt you already know how to cook pasta in-game too. It starts simple and slowly ramps up so the difficulty curve is smooth.
One thing to note is that the clock in the game is always running. Meaning you can't try things out in "Free-mode" indefinitely or something like that. It's not a big problem. The game gives you A LOT of free time to learn new recepies and customize your kitchen. But it's not unlimited time and you also need time to prep dishes before opening too. In the end it's not very stressful and I thought Stardew Valley's days were stressful.
Runs very well on Switch. Text is on the smaller side so Lite players might struggle. (it's bigger than Two Point Campus's font tho).
I had a ton of fun playing this! I highly recommend it!
Meanwhile Playstation went from "Play your way" with a wide range of genres with minimal censorship to "everything is western open world arpg" and nothing else.
And there goes any hope of this series coming back. Sush a shame.
It should have had more pvp support like online rankings and room hosting for online. It could have found a new audience if streamers could easily challenge viewers. Not a big auidence, but still.
At €60 and barely any online features it was doomed to flop outside it's fan-base.
@Darthmoogle Yes, Final Battle makes AoT 2 obsolete. Okay here's how it works:
AoT 2 covers season 1-2
AoT 2 Final Battle contains all content from AoT 2 plus season 3.
Basically AoT 2 Final Battle is an Ultimate version for AoT 2.
I really want to enjoy this game but it crashes every time I try to open the main menu after around 1 hour of playtime.
I know it autosaves and I know it's early access but it's still super annoying!
Stop making season passses and make the game run decently first at least.
I totally agree with 10/10 but only IF you have played either Xenoblade 1 or 2
One can usually jump into any of the Xenoblade games without worry about the story but not this time.
Future redeemed is packfull of memberberries and callbacks to XB1 and XB2.
If you have only played Xenoblade 3 I can't in good coincidence recommend it.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Horror Games
"Deep into that darkness peering. Long I stood there. Wondering. Fearing. Doubting."
Eternal Darkness was so ahead of it's time. Best horror have I ever played. And I don't even like the genre usually.
Also, if you put Dark Souls on the list you might as well put Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak on the list. It has a vampire dragon.

Or if it that can’t run on Switch anymore then XI would be nice. You know, something with proper multiplayer.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Detective Games
The sexy brutale is a good game but it runs very bad on Switch.
