Oh yeah, I still need to play Shovel Knight Is Hades out of Early Access? I liked Dead Cells for the first few hours I played it, but kinda lost interest after that...it felt like there wasn't enough variation or something Haven't played Dicey Dungeons or Slay the Spire Beat Guacamelee 1 and enjoyed it, but it felt a little forgettable...also keep forgetting it has a sequel I own Enter the Gungeon and was playing coop with a friend but that's on hold for now --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU <cite>VintageGin posted [p:944948914] in What are s...

skullbone 09/22/20 3:11:31 PM #10:	Shovel Knight is amazing and it's technically 4 different games at this point. I'm not sure how it would hold up trying to play through all campaigns back to back because I played them as they were released so there was a gap but it's still 10/10. Hades was released out of early access about a week ago and the devs said they're done adding content so you can jump in now. You might run into the same variation issues as dead cells but there are 6 distinct weapons with 4 variations each that can mix up gameplay. There's also the whole visual novel aspect which keeps updating after you finish a run which is good incentive to keep playing. Guac 2 is about as forgettable as the first but they're good short games (under 10 hours) if you can grab it for like $10 and need a palette cleaner. Those games are also co-op if you're looking for more co-op games. --- skull <cite>skullbone posted [p:944949090] in What are s...

Xiahou Shake 09/22/20 3:52:50 PM #15:	I don't know how any of these are on Switch but: Shovel Knight (THE indie game success story, basically four separate games in one as others have said, a ludicrous value) Thumper (Highly stressful but equally fun and mesmerizing rhythm game) Sayonara Wild Hearts (Palate cleanser for Thumper and life in general - I legit almost cried from the sheer beauty of this one.) INSIDE (Don't look up anything about this one, just trust me.) I was going to put Outer Wilds but apparently it's not on Switch. Bummer.

Xiahou Shake 09/22/20 5:55:46 PM #18:	Oh yeah lemme throw out another recommend for the recently released Carrion.

VintageGin 09/22/20 6:04:29 PM #19:	Should probably mention I've played Cuphead Ori 1 Undertale Outer Wilds Just not on Switch, so they weren't on my mind when asking for recs! I also have Stardew Valley on my PC, but haven't played yet. Was planning on doing coop with my wife at some point. Thanks for reminding me about Minit and INSIDE-- those are both games that have been at the back of my mind to try but forgot about. Yoku's Island Express I also remember hearing positive things about, so I'll have to give it a try! --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU <cite>VintageGin posted [p:944955933] in What are s...

VintageGin 09/23/20 11:48:04 PM #26:	Sayonara Wild Hearts was great. Really enjoyable experience, and I definitely want to play through again on arcade. Probably won't go for all golds though because that shit is ridiculous. Also can't believe it has Queen Latifah. Minit was kinda disappointing. I guess I expected to enjoy the primary mechanic more than I actually did. Seems like there's a new game+ which I may explore since I apparently only found 41% of what was there.
