I'm only so far into it, but it's a game I'd recommend for anyone looking for something to mellow out too. Dialogue is amazing, gameplay is fun and easy to pick up on. Visually looks stunning too. Everything can be interacted with and the joycons shake all the fuckin time.

Jeeze there's a lot of games out tomorrow.
Is Deemo basically Voez with a tilted perspective? I really like Voez, but I could probably just stick with it since I've barely scratched the massive tracklist.

edit: I'd love to play Golf Story, but looking at footage, watching golf top down where you can hit a ball, like, diagonally down a screen kinda makes me queezy.

I don't get the insane appeal y'all are having for Golf Story either but Night in the Woods, a game that's like an inch away from being a visual novel, is still my GOTY even after a game like Mario Rabbids so go ahead and like your weird golf game!

they could announce Switch F-Zero and Animal Crossing and have them out for 2018 holidays, and y'all would still push the narrative that Switch has a limited library and people are starved for things to play.

I haven't been following Golf Story as a joke. That's weird in a world where stuff like Stardew Valley and Undertale have been widely accepted for years now.

edit: As for Picross, I'm still playing 3D 2. I reset after any mistakes in that game, so it's taking a while.

I just don't get it. We've had at least six high profile releases so far and they're all generally agreed to be well made, along with a number of smaller releases that have been well received as well.

I'm just wondering by what standard this console has "no games" on it.

it looks pretty chill but it has more of a mobile game vibe than those two do, esp with the weird cheap looking non pixely UI elements that clash with the rest of the art

that said the video I saw showed a surprising amount of variety in the "golf" missions and for $15 I kiiiinda wanna pick it up, it does look like it plays well and 2D golf games are never a bad time

E: actually undertale is pretty rough around the edges too now that I think about it, but comparing it to this type of game is apples to oranges

I'd consider a good sudoku game on the switch, especially if it had kakuro as well.

Then again my music library of late is hella Tangerine Dream and Suzanne Ciani so maybe I'm just in the mood to chill.

Steamworld Dig 2 is way more fun than I thought it'd be. I think I'm coming up on the ending and it was definitely worth the purchase.

It's a chill easyish puzzle game great for soaking up little bouts of free time. That's all it is. It doesn't loving own but you get a ton of puzzles for very little money (the 3DS ones, anyway.)

Yeah it's bloody great. Fixes every little niggle I had with the original. Especially the way they sped up progression helps keep it fun.

On another note, after I finished it I started replaying Heist on PC. At some point it got DLC so now I have Fen, the blue sprite that hangs with Dot, in my party. It's awesome that they put in little details like that between games.

There is a huge glaring issue though, the port is terrible when it comes to fps in later Lands that you travel to. Severe slowdown at night when monsters are attacking, or during the day when the weather kicks in. It gives me a bit of vertigo, I guess, but I don't mind it enough to stop playing.

Luke from Raw Fury Games tells me that a patch for Kingdom: New Lands "should be available by Friday or early next week at the latest."

Picross is definitely my favorite puzzle and it's a crime there isn't one printed in the paper every day and books full of nonograms in the game section at book stores.

There's a couple crappy Android games, the good Jupiter games, and a few decent picross ones by third parties.
