Yeah there might be some optional fights for bosses that aren't fitting for the main campaign.

Nintendo likes to do games where you team up with former foes to fight a new evil. I hope that's the case here.

That's pretty much Kirby's main MO. A lot of former enemies generally turn into allies. Hell the first game was one of the few ones where Dedede was the outright villain. In the next game he tried to save Dream Land, but some bad behavior on his part made him look like he was the culprit instead.

These days Dedede only seems to be the final boss in the non standard Kirby games (and even then that’s not always the case). I guess when you’re dealing with eldritch horrors a fat greedy penguin with a hammer isn’t that big a threat anymore.

Nah it’s good and the boss fights are great. The normal battles can get repetitive but skipping them has no downside

at some point i think they said kirby 64 is coming to the online thing... i really want to check that one out because the only time i played it it was on an early n64 emulator where it ran like poo poo and all the sprites were sideways.

They're fine and people are hyperbolic babies. The one caveat I could offer is Origami King is not at all like Thousand Year Door. If you're expecting it to be, you will be disappointed. It is still good, mind.

7/10 just means you can use this weapon seven more times before it breaks

Minor PSA but please buy your Nintendo Switch a screen protector, even if you play docked 100% of the time. It’s a sweet baby square and needs your protection

Xenoblade 2 is a lot more..."in your face" about it's anime quotient (although to be clear it is just as anime as the first one) and it has a really weird blade gacha system that feels like it was designed for a mobile game, but otherwise it's largely more of the same. I preferred it to 1, but opinions are definitely more mixed overall.

Grave? Shovel! Let's go.

Xenoblade 2: The blade gacha is terrible and annoying and there's a character who is very good but also will not shut up during battle and fights with a robotic gently caress doll.

Aside from that it's a decent game.

Its story isn't as good as 1. It's still pretty fun though.

I already have Diablo 3, and I don't imagine i have enough nostalgic love for D2 that playing it would be better than D3

So what's the current loot-centric action game (as Diablo-like as possible but doesn't have to strictly be the case) that people are recommending, if any?
