got a massive headache playing outer wilds and i think i just need something more linear in general. likely an RPG or VN.

only real console i'm considering is switch

main options i'm thinking of:
- suikoden 2
- FFX (have played through 7, 8, and 9 since COVID; previously ragequit after dying to seymour because i couldn't stand sitting through the 30-min cutscene again)
- bug fables

open to other thoughts too
yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness

If youre suffering from burnout try Wanderstop
Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?
Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

FFX is solid but something like Path of Exile is also a great mindless grindy one

not really looking to grind, prefer something with more story. wanderstop seems like it might also be more recipe fulfillment?

Something relatively easy with a lot of story? Have you played 13 Sentinels?

Xenoblade Chronicles X on Friday if you've never played that

The other XBC games are great on Switch too. Decent to good stories, easy combat with difficult optional challenges, and will take up a lot of time.

No mule can match wits with me. Oh yes, many have tried, and almost all have failed!

I gave Bug Fables a try a couple years ago and was having a good time until I hit a softlock that was going to set me back at least an hour of progress. (I think I got myself stuck in a corner behind a tree or something dumb like that, after reaching a new area and not saving yet.) I never bothered picking it back up. If that's a dealbreaker for you like it was for me then I'd stay away -- otherwise, it seemed like a solid Paper Mario clone.
