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.
Game is fun. Multiplayer works surprisingly well! It has a good variety of pokemon. Graphically it feels like a gamecube game. Clothing options went from pretty good in the last entries to basically non-existent in this one.
I want the dodge roll back! And aiming my pokeball tosses! And the pokedex leveling! This is decent but compared to Legends it feels like a step backwards in my opinion. I like that the leader pokemon can follow me, the open world and the pokestops tho.
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.
I'll pick it up on release day but I have to say I'm a little annoyed it doesn't seem to include the short prequel. Just like To the Moon doesn't include the Christmas bonus chapter.
It's like comparing Pokemon Sc/Vi with Persona 5R... Oh they're pretty different allright. One is a masterpiece and the other is the video-game equivalent of a Big Mac.
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.
I think the ending is fine. What I would like is a prequel dlc to flesh out the villains and understand their motivations. Maybe we could play as a young Vandam. That would be cool.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@Phostachio I didn't mind the breakable tools honestly but omg the multicrafting and hold button to continously dig/harvest is SO GOOD in this!
The two things I miss most is real-time seasons and swimming/diving.
I can't put this game down. It's so much easier to decorate in this game than Animal Crossing and all characters have several side-quests too. Highly recommended if you like Animal Crossing!!
I agree it's a really bad practice to charge for essentially playing the beta-version. But....I'm having more fun than I had in Animal Crossing. And I played that for 900 hours. So yeah, I'm a sheep but I'm not regretting spending $50 for this. I'm having an absolute blast!
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..

Nope, I'm nowhere near the end so like the probably 99% of the playerbase I can't do it.

Ah phoey! I thought you meant in-game.

I would have picked grass personally but my friends picked water so water it is.
Re: Sonic Frontiers On Switch Will Be The "Same Experience" As Other Platforms
I don't trust 3D Sonic game to run well within the first two months.
I think Bethesda has a better track record than Team Sonic.

I love this game! Would definitively buy it again on Switch. <3
Re: Square Enix's New Farming RPG Harvestella Is Receiving A Day One Update
Longer days is good but I would have preferred that time stops while exploring dungeons. I hated being told to go back home while dungeon crawling.
Re: Sonic Team Head: Sonic Frontiers And Breath Of The Wild Are "Not Similar At All"
It's like comparing Pokemon Sc/Vi with Persona 5R...
Oh they're pretty different allright. One is a masterpiece and the other is the video-game equivalent of a Big Mac.

Excellent. Now we just need Ryan Renolds to be replaced with Sacha Baron Cohen as Deadpool and the apocalypse can finally begin!

Can you belive this and Xenoblade 3 are made on the same hardware? I can't.

I really want play Like a dragon but I guess it's not happening. It's a shame since I think jrpgs is best portably.
Re: Don't Worry, Nintendo Hasn't Cancelled Advance Wars For Switch
@5th313ment which also proves that Nintendo could offer refunds on digital games if they wanted. Clearly the technology is there and working already.
Re: Square Enix Is Now Part Of A Blockchain
I'm not touching an NFT even if it came with an FF VI remake. That's how gross I think they are.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Noah Voice Actor Thanks Fans For "Outpouring Of Love"
I actually like the voice-acting of all characters but Taion at the hospital scene is gold! I'm being vague here on purpuse.
Re: Nintendo Reiterates That Splatoon 3's 'Salmon Run' Mode Will Be Available 24/7
Yes, but will you be able to play with two friends without having to wait 45 minutes?
EDIT: I mean in Turf Wars. In Salmon Run you could actually make a room, join up with friend and then open for randoms to fill up the room.
