Re: Best Cozy Games On Switch

Zimon

Personally I don't think Cult of the Lamb is very cozy. Cute yes - but not very relaxing. You might as well mention Hollow Knight and Hades at that point.
No Man's Sky on peaceful difficulty tho. Utterly breathtaking and very chill.
I'd also like to add Song of the Evertree. It's made by the Cloudcatcher team but you make little island worlds, collect resources to build villages.

I've not had many performance issues either. 35 hours played and 1 crash. Tera Caves stopped spawning for me one day but a quick adjustment to the Switch's clock one day forward and that bug was resolved.

I'm not saying it isn't happening to people but my game has been very stable. Much better than Sonic Frontiers performance wise. I'm not a blind fan boy btw. I'm just not experiencing the bugs everyone is reporting.

Re: The Oregon Trail

This game is super fun! Think death road to Canada but more relaxing. The music and and artstyle are very tasty! Highly recommended if you like the idea of a resource managing rogue-like.

Re: Poll: Is The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Good Enough Value Yet?

Zimon

It's such a slooow sparking drip-feed! I want to play Golden Sun and Luigi's Mansion and Eternal Darkness and Animal Crossing and Rythm Heaven and Wario Ware and Baten Kaitos but at this rate I'd be quicker to buy a retro handheld and just pirate them!
I'm not condoning piracy but I've waited for YEARS now for Switch catch up to the Wii U.

Re: Soapbox: I Might Be Too Messy To Enjoy Disney Dreamlight Valley Properly

You'd probably like Hokko Life then. If you can tolerate the snail-pace grind.
That game is aaaall about customization and freely placing items at whatever angle you want.
You can even design your own furniture and streetlamps and rock formation. The only thing you can't change is the water and hills.
This is NOT a wholehearted recommendation btw. Pretty much everything except the design tools are mediocre in my opinion.

Re: Review In Progress: No Man's Sky - Right Up There With The Very Best Switch Ports

Zimon

Spent 20 hours in this game over the weekend. I've not been so engrossed in a game since Animal Crossing came out!

I wish it had multiplayer tho. Me and my friend are playing alongside each other talking and exploring the crafting system and game mechanics together. It would really lift the game to the next level if we could travel together as well.

But for real, this is probably my Game of the Year and I did not expect that.

Re: It's Summer Time In Harvestella As Square Enix Shares A Heap Of New Info

From playing the demo I'd say the clock's time needs to be adjusted. Lets say you fix your farm in the morning. Then traveling to the dungeon takes away a big chunk of time. You can forget about shopping that day altogether. Then you get about 5 minutes to explore the dungeon before you are forced home at 6 pm. Maybe it's just me but I felt like I could barely get any progress done in one day.
I felt like I was playing Stardew Valley at 2x speed.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Return To Monkey Island

Zimon

I bought it. I played it. I love it!! Very much captures the feeling of Monkey Island. Having most of the original voice cast is a nostalgic trip in of itself. The comedic writing is brilliant too.

But..I'm not a fan of the art-style. Sorry, I just don't like it. Thimbleweed Park did it better in my opinion.

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th September (Europe)

Disney Dreamlight Valley is surprisingly good. Atm there's no in-app store though I know that will change. There is a battlepass but you can't buy additional premium currency right now so you get what you get from the founders pack.
My point is - currently - it's almost better than Animal Crossing.
I NEVER thought I'd say that considering I despise F2P glames and mobile games. It's actually really good if you like the life-sim genre..
