Here's a thread for game related talk, such as for stuff that people might feel wouldn't be worth creating a specific thread for.

I'll start it with a query. I'm about to get a Switch. So I'd like recommendations for games for the system that you feel are must haves/are really good. It doesn't have to be switch exclusive games, just stuff on the switch. At this time, I'm just far more likely to play a game if it's on a portable system like the switch.

Also, is anyone here playing or has played Omori?

I've not played Omori but I have heard only good things about it from people who have.

In terms of Switch games Bayonetta 1 & 2 are excellent character action games and Pokemon Sword and Shield are good interations on the formula.

I might consider trying those. I was also just reminded that Sakuna: Rice and Ruin exists and is on the switch.

Animal crossing is the obvious Switch title that hasn't been mentioned yet. And albeit I haven't played it, I've heard good things from Breath of the Wild

And as a Pokemon nerd I find Sword and Shield to be really good in some aspects but to really fuck up others, I think it's worthwhile to give it a shot but don't expect a good story nor narrative, as that aspect of the game is clearly rushed. You can still have a lot of fun though, despite what others might say the new Pokemon are where all the thought put in the game went to, and despite the linearity of the games the design of Galar as a region is pretty well thought out.

Yeah, Nier Automata is good. It was one of a number of games around 2017 that made me want to get back into gaming at that time after having lost interest in it for years. Since then, I've admittedly become a fan girl for the the DrakenNier verse. Plus, Yoko Taro is someone I'm going to have a soft spot for simply because he once responded to a question about why he had Emil be gay and why Kaine is intersex with "Because these sorts of people exist".

Anyway, I'll be collecting my switch tomorrow. After that, I think I'll probably get Sakuna. From what I've seen, it looks like it's a good mix of relaxation gameplay and combat.

I've loved the DrakenNier verse since I played Drakengard 2 back on the PS2. Which says somethign about the writing and themes (even when Yoko Taro isn't involved) because the gameplay sure isn't what made me a fan. Though getting to be a dragon never got old.

Oh other great Switch games! Hyrule Warriors 1 & 2.
