Just picked it up on Switch based off the strength of Sea of Stars!

This seems like the obvious answer based off their history.

Thanks for the insight. I'll stick with the original, then.

Do any of the reviews mention anything about the UI? One of my issues while watching the first released videos and clips of this switch version was how boring and basic the UI was looking. Wondered if that was just a gripe on my end or if it effects some of the people to actutally play it. I understand it's a small complaint but it can really change how a game is for me.

It's why I've never felt the same ire as those who talk about Nintendo being generations behind. They generally make fun games that age well aesthetically, and I'll play those games often.

Yea, I wouldn't give them any money, though. The actual creators got fucked and any purchases of the game go to the people that fucked them. Great game, but I'd sail the seas for it.

I've been meaning to pick up Crystal Project (that price, wow!) But I learned it's coming to Switch so have held off on it. After Sea of Stars, I need me some new JRPGs!

Funny, I absolutely love Ys Origin and can't really stand the modern direction of the series. Been meaning to try the Trails games, but never knew where to start.

Now TF2 had some fun competitive matches. That takes me back.

I think you have a lot of good points here. One of the major issues is that Competetive esports meta bled into casual Overwatch.

Control was so good that, for me, it retroactively made Alan Wake better by their connections.

However, in my opinion, that didn't make Alan Wake good. It's a game that should have worked wonders for me, but the gameplay loop being the same from beginning to end (and truthfully, it being monotonous didn't help) and the controls being frustrating just made it a game I wanted to get through, rather than enjoy.

Unsure if I'm going to play Alan Wake 2, as it looks like the same gameplay that I didn't enjoy.

Finally beat Sea of Stars, and have gone back to play Megaman Battle Network Collection, starting with #1. Definitely not the best entry in the series, but it's got good bones. Looking forward to getting to #2.

I know a lot of people like them, but you just listed a lot of my least favourite Zelda games. Wind Waker (before the remake, I heard there were a lot of QoL changes that I had issue with from the original?), Phantom Hourglass and Skyward Sword. I would've beat my head against a desk if you said Spirit Tracks.

But people do enjoy these, so I hope you like them much more than I did.
