Just as a heads up, there are a good couple of Switch games on a pretty good discount right now on Amazon and GameStop.
I'm seeing a lot of $24.99-26.99 prices for games like Splatoon 2, Breath of the Wild, Paper Mario: The Origami King, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, etc.

Fire Emblem Three Houses is a lot of game for 27 dollars. Kinda wish they'd put up Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as part of this sale instead of the remastered original. I've toyed with the idea of sinking my teeth into the sequel but not at 60 dollars.
 
Have they done a reprint of XC2? I just want a physical copy...

Edit: Yeah Fire Emblem: Three Houses is easily worth it at that price.

One of the weirdest but simultaneously most interesting narrative-first games I know of. I watched my wife play this and went from extremely lost to very invested :laugh:

I do wonder how well it will perform during the battles. It made the PS4 Slim chug a little at times if I recall correctly...

Really like it so far. It's the perfect game to pick up and put down during intermission of a game or on a commute.

One of the few modest but perfectly designed games, IMO, and one of my favorites.

I loved it when it came out just focusing on using the default squad over and over again, but I recently played through all the other squads and the game opens up even more in interesting ways.

More Sea of Stars. Man, I love how much nicer overworlds can look in modern 2D indie games.


I'm sort of simultaneously excited/intrigued by it (purely due to aesthetic) and bracing for a let down. RPG mechanics alone usually can't carry a game for me, I need storytelling to do the heavy lifting, and there haven't been many Indie RPGs that nailed storytelling, in my view (hope it's better at it than Eastward). Didn't really love the Messenger's writing, either, but I've heard that this has been their actual passion project from the start, so that gives me a bit of hope.

Looks great and I must be the only one that likes Lost Sphear and I Am Setsuna lol but I've always been a gameplay>story JRPG fan (took alot of heat back in the day for not liking Xenogears)
 
Saints Row IV is for sale for under $3.00 online. Never played the series before, but couldn't pass on that price for a sandbox to jump around in, though the gunplay is a bit wonky to me so far.

I have it for PS3 & PC, but I can't pass it up for that price.

1/3 of the music is dubstep, and it's not a game you want to play through for 15 hours straight but once you get about 30 minutes in it's some good open world mayhem. The super powers and driving are worth checking out. Motion control aiming is kind of OK too.

People disappointed in the GTA remaster should check it out.

I have to admit, it looks really cool.

I loved the Messenger, personally, but I wouldn't say the story was any more than basic and intended as humour. Be interesting to see what that team can do with an RPG.

I liked the mechanics and challenges of the first half of The Messenger a fair bit, but I found its aggressively meta tongue-in-cheek comedic sensibilities more annoying than charming, and I felt that the gameplay took a big dip once it started introducing Metroidvania elements.
 
I guess I’m not into 2D platformers anymore, as the two most recent that I played, Rayman Legends last year and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze recently, I gave up on both out of boredom despite their respective near universal positive appraisal.

Will have to remember that.

I find 2D stuff to be really hit or miss these days and that I cannot play them for long sittings. I think the last one I binged through was Celeste, but it is not that long of an example.
