haha that’s pretty great to be fair!

Oh my bad, I hadn’t heard of Short Trip and my brain must’ve got that mixed up xD

I saw the trailers for Squirrel with a Gun, and personally I thought it looked a bit gimmicky. Perhaps the sort of game I’d tire of after a few hours.

So you’re wanting to eliminate as many of these games as possible from your wishlist? The only ones I’ve played here are A Short Hike and Animal Well, and I can vouch for both of those being incredible.

A Short Hike is very charming. I had such a fun time playing through it one afternoon and finding all the little secrets. It has a lovely artstyle and is the perfect length.

Animal Well is simply a great metroidvania with some really unique items and beautiful pixel art. There’s some tricky platforming there if you want to get the collectables.

Sorry if that doesn’t really help with your conundrum, but if you want to cut down your wishlist I’d recommend keeping those ones!

What, how is this a win? Three authors lost a lawsuit to an AI firm using their works.

I’ve put a lot of hours into the 3 or so picross games I own (plus Murder by Numbers, which is excellent if you like both picross and Ace Attorney).

I believe it’s FF7 Remake, then Rebirth. Apparently some people online are calling the third one (not yet announced) Reclaim. We shall see!

The second feels like more of the same to be fair! There are some cool teleporter options which I’m yet to unlock but I imagine they’ll make things a lot easier. I think the first game added automation at some point after I’d finished playing it.

What do you think of the Slime Rancher games? :)

Hmm it’s been a while since I played FF7Remake, but yeah it’s probably about the same pace! Lots of cutscenes and distractions which I don’t mind at all, it just means it’s gonna be a while before I finish it.

I’ve been slowly playing through Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Slime Rancher 2 on the PS5 (enjoying both! FF7Rebirth is a very slow game at times though)

On Switch I’ve been playing a bit of Picross S4 whenever I get the chance. At some point I need to finish Steamworld Quest! But I’ve not had much spare time with several events on recently, and trying to raise a puppy.

That’s good to hear! I’m glad the shape of the joycons has been improved. I’d possibly be tempted to get a case anyway, to add more volume around the palm (rather than all the weight resting on the bottom of my hands). But hopefully I’ll get a chance to try one out at some point and see how they feel :3

You said it’s a little heavier than expected - how would you compare the weight to a Steam Deck? I find the Steam Deck quite heavy, but the ergonomics of the grips help massively. In comparison the Switch 1 wasn’t great to hold without a grip case in my opinion, but because it was so light that wasn’t a huge problem. I worry that the Switch 2 would be a bit uncomfortable to hold after a while if it’s a bit heavier and doesn’t have an ergonomic grip.

I think I’ll wait at least a year or so until there are more first party games. New 3D Mario and Zelda pleaseeee

Such a frustrating case. Only 8 months in prison…

The first 10 hours or so of Quest I really enjoyed. But I seem to have lost some motivation over the last couple of weeks. Once you find a setup that works, each battle becomes a bit samey. Hopefully I’ll be able to push through and finish it soon.

I’ve heard great things about Rebirth and I really enjoyed Remake, so I’ve got high hopes!

Not much on the Switch at the moment - I finished Mario Wonder the other week (excellent game) and I think I’m near the end of Steamworld Quest. So I’m flicking between that and Picross S4 when I get time.

On PS5 I’ve borrowed a copy of FF7 Rebirth off a friend which I look forward to starting later! I was also gifted A Short Hike on Steam so maybe I’ll give that a go :)
