Gaming Your Switch game recommendations?

[The Real Jdbye]

@The Real Jdbye thanks man I'll take your aforementioned titles in consideration.
Octopath traveler, no matter how hard i try to like that game i just can't Lose motivation reallt quick. On top lf that it's so hard for me to see things in the game without having to squint my eyes at the screen.
Yea sure it can be played on the dock but i play my ganes on handhelds most of the time.

I hold the Switch pretty close to my face, since I'm nearsighted but I prefer taking my glasses off when I'm reading or playing handheld games, so that I don't have to hold it so far away from my face. I actually found it to be harder to see things in Zelda BotW, all of the UI elements are tiny on such a small screen. But I can live with it. Rather that than dumbed down inferior versions of games/franchises like we always get on dedicated handheld consoles.

I actually haven't touched Octopath in a long time. Kinda lost motivation as well. But I intend to resume playing it at some point, I just started playing other stuff instead and kinda forgot about it. Haven't beaten Bravely Second yet either so that's another JRPG I'll have to resume at some point. JRPGs are just such a huge time sink and I lose motivation in anything quickly if I'm not hooked, which is a rare occurrence for me. So I completely understand. I still like the game though, just not enough to get hooked.

I usually play handheld as well. It's just more convenient. But when I want to immerse myself fully, I use docked mode. It seems like most people prefer either one or the other and very few people actually regularly use both handheld and docked mode, but it's nice to have the option, especially in couch multiplayer games.

That's a quite a lot of games.

A more satirical take on your tactics style games. Encourages grinding and makes it fun with a level cap of 9999 and the ability to reset back to 1. Story is fun and I got about 85 hours in before the real world shouted at me and told me I had other things I needed to do lol

Alas i cannot play it then.
A video game with such a ridiculous grinding system that needs you to solely dedicate your free time to it isn't my cup of tea.
Much like you I've got other things that keep me occupied and that i need to be dealing with.
with that being said..i might give it a try during christmas break wherein I'll get plenty of time to kill.
By the by i shamelessly confess that I have to use cheats to get around this game. ;O;

 

[aykay55]

Firewatch
Outlast 2
Unravel two

Yeah it's scary, kinda gross in some scenes. But fun to play and runs well on Switch

You can play it quite easily and enjoy it without the grinding, it just sets itself up for it to allow for more content and replayability. It has a 'cheat shop' in-game to adjust the difficulty, which was nice because I accidentally grinded early on for a reason that escapes me lol, it meant the game was still a fun enough challenge.

ah i see then. I have to say it's kinda neat that grinding isn't a necessary for the story to progress onwards.
Might do my first blind playthrough just to enjoy the story and then get back to it on NG+ for it's gameplay elements.

It really is a brilliant game. I think my favourite thing about it is that you can ditch the isometric view and go for a standard grid. Just can't get to grips with isometry lol

 

[patjenova]

truberbrook is also a fun game

 

[CosmoConstant]

Fire Emblem Three Houses and Omega Labyrinth Life are my favorite two Switch games right now.

 

[NoNAND]

Done with DOOM 3 and i have to say well It's alright i suppose.

Now i might try this Disgaea, give it a shot and see what's it like.

Astral Chain is looking promising if you're into hack and slash games like Bayonetta. It's looking like a lot of good games are loaded for next year, though. But Luigi's Mansion 3 is coming out at the end of October and I think Panzer Dragoon the remake is releasing this winter. And that Mario & Sonic: Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 if you liked those previous titles. Just suggesting some games releasing soon since I haven't really been playing too much of the games out now.
