Like others are saying, I got bored as well and put the game down. I'm probably only 5% complete. I do plan on going back to it though. It's a less colorful version of botw. Just felt too much like I'd already been there and done that. In theory, it seems logical to use the same world map. It's a great map and, it's the same world. In reality, it makes for a bit of a duller replay.
I've gotten the most value (time played/money spent ratio on this game more than any other game. I'll find myself playing another game like Subnautica for example, and I usually end my play time with some dicey dungeons. Great game and I'm glad its getting expanded.
My biggest gripe is the length of time it takes the computer civs to take their turns. Granted, it's faster than playing against humans but I'd love to see the AI do its work faster.
Really enjoying 2 point hospital since I got it on sale. Also playing Mutant League Football ever since my real NFL team was knocked out of the playoffs.
Personally I'd love to see Nuts and Bolts released on Switch. I've never understood why that one didn't eclipse the first two....definitely my fav, spent hundreds of hours discovering the secrets of that game.
Typical paradox initial release. If it follows the pattern of their other games, this will be a fully developed fun to play game 3 years from now....at least the pc version.
I dumped 100+ hours into the last picross release several months ago , and for a couple reasons I will not be partaking in this latest round.
1. Burnout. Quite simply, I'm just burned on picross. Somewhere towards the end of that last binge, I found the point where I had had enough.
2. Too many easy to medium puzzles and not enough hard. The easy, small puzzles are great for beginners learning the game, but after a while you find those tiny little puzzle boards no longer satisfy. The balance should lean towards the more difficult puzzles for those of us sticking around for the latest incarnations of picross.
2 days ago I lost my switch along with several physical games for 24 hours. It was just misplaced, but it made me decide that from now on its digital copies only for me. I'm too much of an absent minded professor.
Looks like they are building and improving on past success, very cool. I'd like to see twice the amount of ballparks, but Im hoping there are 30+ original teams or so. With no real sports available at the moment, this is the best alternative.
Im sure theres a niche market for this...it probably isnt me. If youre going to sell me on furries youd better bring tight, innovative gameplay...not sure I see that here.
@dew12333 When you take a close look at the actual document that this article is linked to, what you find is that it is well documented and supported by links to other reputable sources. Im still reading through the document. There's no doubt that China is using these despicable practices.
What I havent found so far, and keep in mind I have quite a bit still to read, is the evidence that links these specific companies. I have no reason to believe the companies listed are saints and are not involved. On the contrary I believe they probably are. But Ive yet to see the evidence other than allegations in the article. If Ive missed it, please point it out.
Edit: Ok, Ive read enough now that I am convinced that the article is legit. Do some basic research on Foxconn if youre unconvinced. Shame on anyone who turns a blind eye on this and wont at least acknowledge that it is happening.
@dew12333 These are good points. The information in the reports are very, very well organized to the point that it doesnt seem possible it could be fake. However, I dont actually see any real evidence. At the same time ...it seems likely this really is happening. Whats the track record of the organization that put this report together,anyone know?

@InnerSound Oh well...it was a fun game and it's nice to still have a piece of gameboy nostalgia.

Re: Soapbox: Help! I Can't Stop Playing Card Games On Switch
I'm actually taking a break from Balatro because it's too addicting. It's been 2 hours since my last small blind.
I seriously think this game is going to cause problems for some people.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 2nd)
The question should be, what are you playing for the next 6 months? The answer would be Balatro. I'm hooked after buying it last night.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects & Readers' Choice (February 2024)

Re: Random: This Nintendo Switch Wannabe Runs Cyberpunk 2077, Costs $700
Well I'm willing to bet the Switch wins here in a category we like to make fun of, but at the end of the day really does mean something: stability.
Granted, that's not really the point of the article, but it's still likely true.
Re: Capcom's Switch And 3DS January Sale Is Now Live In North America

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2021

There are other trivial ports I could add but honestly what more would one need than this?
