The game is average at best (more mediocre to me), and the score it got on this site kinda reinforced my thought that on NintendoLife, many Nintendo games got a +2 from the real score out of this site fanboyism (and I am not talking just about the score, but the full narrative/tone in the review too).

That is why recently I am just looking at the news (for which this site is still great) but I basically skip every review, especially when the reviewed game is first party.

I know, may sounds harsh, but take it as a constructive feedback.

Amazing game. Played it a lot on PS4 and then double dipped on Switch.

Shame to developers to release a game in such abysimal state.

Agree that it is a pity, I have played this on PC and it is an excellent game

Very happy for Clair Obscur. Totally deserved!

While is concerning to me that of all the goodness revealed, almost nothing comes to Switch 2.

This is way better than Mario Kart World Tour.

Kirby Air riders is such a great fun. It is so chaotic and full of tension, every event got me on the verge of my chair. I am enjoying it way more than Mario Kart World, which I dropped almost instantly and only revive for some sporadic local multiplayer.

Happy that is still selling decently, even if it will never be a blockbuster

From the trailer I can only get that everything is about "Football"🤣......

Still looking forward to the game hoping will be good.

FOOTBALL!!!

Well.... Not true to me. Lot of third party games are still missing, other being delayed cos seems they are not optimized..... Plus (and for me is a big plus) many are coming just as game key card.... Which is an automatic pass to me.

The end sequence of Gates of Zendocon.... A great shoot em up on my beloved first console, the Atari Lynx.

Probably first game I have ever finished

Thanks for the review. Gonna get this physical soon.

One part of Musou games I enjoy the most is the strategical/tactical part of base control/army movement/battle strategies. How is this compared to other Musous? Does it lean mainly on combat or you may also thinker with your army and the battlefield?

Already preordered Hades 2 physical.

Since I refuse to purchase those game key cow$**t, I will definitely get the physical versions of Hyrule Warriors, Kirby and Metroid along the way, plus Octopath Traveller 0 switch version. Everything else eventually when they will be on sale on eshop.

Love how people complain about the game lacking quality and price skyrocketed but then everyone just buy it....

Got Absolum physical for switch (full game on cardridge) to add to my collection of physical games (getting very close to 200) and to send a message that people still love to OWN games.

Having said that, this is Hades level of being good.

A friend told me he uses a pretty beautiful Miiyo Mini for it. Might give it a try.....

I have it on PC. It is a very solid CRPG with a great tactical turned based combat system (similar to XCOM 2).

Not sure how much fan base can collect on Nintendo system, but a top game in his category for sure.

Alien isolation beat them all on this list for me.

What an amazing experience!

@mercilessrobot exactly. Considering that switch 2 is capable of running Cyberpunk 2077 (or Switch 1 any Xenoblade Chronicles), this game feels 2 generation behind

The desert is so barren..... Everything looks so low poly that really gives me a ps2/ps3 vibes.

This trailer kinda killed all the good vibes I had about the game.

Wow the desert looks so empty and ps2 era like.

My hype is really down on this

Does it come as physical too?

Really interested in getting it

On chapter 12 of Xenoblade Chronicle...great game but I start to feel the wear.

Aside of that SoulsVania fest for me: Blasphemous (I absolutely love the setting and the graphics), The Last Faith (that runs surprisingly good and it really gives me 2D Bloodborne vibe), Dead Cell (every metroidvania should control like it) and Castlevania Advance Collection.

Seems I am the only happy to know that Switch 2 will be an iterative console taking it from a great one. I have a massive, beautiful, physical backlog of games that I am ready to play already, now with the Switch, tomorrow with a Switch 2, hopefully with shorter loading times and upscaling on. 🤟🫶

Everybody has already revealed Switch 2 except Nintendo....Lol 😂

@Rockboy247 typical "just another run" game...and then you realize it is 3 am 🤣

@Rockboy247 welcome aboard!

Starting chapter 10 in Xenoblade Chronicles, conquering whole Albion in Unicorn Overlord (whatta sublime game!), having my b*tt kicked in Blasphemous and replaying Alien Isolation on switch. The latter is one of my fav games of all time and it is incredible how good it looks and runs on Switch!!!

@WhensDinner i totally agree with what you said about the PS Vita.

That made me lose any hope that Sony will truly support an handheld again.

@Anachronism PS Vita is such a great console, a technical marvel for the time. It could have easily been the predecessor of Switch in term of success, if Sony did not stop supporting it so early. It has still plenty of beautiful game on it that would be great on Switch too (i.e. The Vanillaware trio: Dragon Crown, Muramasa Rebirth, Odin Sphere)

@N00BiSH we could argue that buying a Lenovo Legion go with running Microsoft Store on it and Game pass, is already like having Microsoft portable with plenty of great 3rd party AAA games on the pass.

I would really go that way + Nintendo Switch 2 than any unsupported expensive handheld sony will create.

I agree with the review. The art style is so bland and ugly to be completely off putting.

I wonder why Super Robot Wars are not localized for western market...

If you look at an amazing racer with great graphics on Switch, forget this lazy port and get yourself GRID AUTOSPORT instead (it runs great on portable mode too)

Gimme a Galaxy definitive collection (1+2) please!

Enjoying my escapades in Zelda BOTW and racing in Grid Autosport, it has phenomenal graphics on Switch, the driving model is quite fun and I like how AI is quite aggressive without being totally mad.

Zelda BOTW and Assassin Creed Odyssey for me. 2 of the most amazing open world games ever

Please give me Wind Waker and Pikmin 3 and I can happily bury my WiiU

@Xansies truth is that most of the Japanese devs (Nintendo excluded) are notoriously bad in optimizing their code. From software is a prime example, gorgeous artistic games that runs subpar compared to western releases.

That said they could at least done better. Or asked for a lower price, since they seemed to admit that this port was done with limited resources and in short time.

@sixrings you are right. 720p on a 55"tv is pretty bad.

@Baker1000 shadow of the colossus, crash Bandicoot n sane trilogy and ratchet and clank are all remastered with better graphics, better performances (ReC looks like a Pixar movie) and they were sold at launch on Ps4 at 39 $....

I am just saying that I am not going to pay full game price for a port of an old game with slightly better visuals that runs poorly on a new system. To me, it is still lazy port. It is full of great optimized ports on Switch (Diablo, Doom, Wolfenstein) that deserve more than this.

After saying that, everyone is entitled to spend his money as he wants.

Lot of hype for this. If the gameplay is fun I am gonna dip into it.

@mazzel I very well know what is pixel art. And I very well see how Zelda Breath of the wild runs way better on the switch than on Wiiu, since I own a copy for both systems....

You can exaggerate whatever, Xenoblade is a lazy port at its best given those numbers

Can we then call this Xenoblade Chronicle definitive edition a Remake in pixel art?

This news and the fact that it is sold at full price means "shelf" for me. I can still play the original at more or less same res on my WiiU

Please gimme a Switch remaster of Galaxy 1+2!

Splatoon 2 (go Mayo go!) and Zelda BOTW.

I wanted to get it for switch but is so much more expensive than any other platform, it is even free in Xbox gamepass now...

After finishing the first run of FE3H I started Dragon Quest IX while keep exploring the hotel with GF in Luigi's Mansion 3. Plus some splatoon 2 aside.

Fire Emblem 3 Houses & Fire Emblem Warriors.

Took a break from Dragon Quest Builders 2 after completing the 2nd island but I'll dive back to that beautiful crafted (by me) world soon!

Taking a break from Dragon Quest Builder 2 (NSW) after clearing second island, playing mainly Nioh 2 (Ps4) and Fire Emblem 3 Houses (totally hooked in the story and gameplay loop). Switch is becoming my main console during Covid time.

Nioh 2 (I simply adore its mix of Diablo and Soulslike, I could play it forever trying to improve my builds).

On Switch: Dragon Quest Builders 2 (totally addictive gameplay loop) and Luigi's Mansion 3 (coop with my GF), it is amazing how it looks great on the TV

Jeez they look ugly!

@Lord also Mario strikers
