...and I'm probably done for this sale. My Friend Pedro can wait for a further discount (or I'll just play it via Game Pass) and I already have Collection of Mana as a physical version.
I bought this game Anode which I hadn't heard before. It was just 0,99€. Saw it on sale and it seemed like an interesting take on tetris. There were no reviews for Switch but I found couple good reviews for Xbox version so I decided to buy it. And I can really recommend this game. It is simple game with couple of modes but I played it yesterday multiplayer with my fiancee and it was a blast. Single player is also very addicting. This game is actually not that much of a tetris clone. It has its own mechanics.

Any impressions on the Switch version of Mutant: Year Zero? I remember reading reports of it struggling on PS4 around launch.
Guys, the game is called ForgottOn Anne. Not Forgotten lol
(also there's a demo, play that if you're not sure, it's excellent!)

Christmas emergency: Any (ideally four player or more) games that are super quick to understand for people with pretty much zero gaming experience and/or have quick game sessions? How is that recent Nintendo ambulance game for example?
I'm thinking the likes of Heave Ho, Snipperclips, etc.
Thanks in advance!

I dont have it on PS4 or PC for comparison but I can tell it's pushing my Switch to the limits (I play only in handheld mode). That said, it's good enough for me and I was delighted to discover a new (to me), highly rated SRPG that I could play on Switch. I've put in about 2 hours.
My younger self definitely would have not let it slide, but I've managed to shake that level of completionist compulsion over the years thankfully! 😂
You mean Forgotton Anne should've been called Forgotten Anne?
Personally I thought the actual gameplay of the game was terribly boring. Presentation and world, fantastic, but the act of playing it made me drop it fairly early on.
+1 for Runbow. It's super fun and you'll learn how the game works pretty quick. You guys will probably laugh a lot while playing it :)
If you want a simple game that will have you at each other's throats, either Overcooked is a decent option as well.
it's not pushing your Switch to its limits. It's simply not optimized in the way it could be (look at it in TV mode and you'll notice a huge difference that could've been taken care of had it had more time/resources).
Thanks, I love puzzle games, I'll be getting this for sure.
its...ok. I liked it on PC, not great by any means but serviceable.
I don't think there are any issues with X/X-2 aside from not including the PC boosters. VIII has blurry backgrounds because they're the originals, and they stand out more against the new character models. The battle UI is also half the FPS of the original PS1 Version. None of these were noticeable to me, but I'm pretty tolerant to performance issues generally.
I had a good time with it a while ago, on PS4. It's a little rough around the edges, but certainly has potential to give a satisfying stealth fix.
very much so to the point where they made me go "oh... playing a FPS portable is fucking cool"
Is this in the current sale in the EU? Showing up at the normal £19.99 price for me on the eShop.
I've put 160+ hours into Slay the Spire on Switch. It's incredible. Probably in my top ten games of all time.
I beat FFX last week and, while I haven't played the original, the port looks very solid. I'm not very sensitive to technical issues, but performance was very good and you can even choose between the original and the remixed soundtrack. I only miss the fast-forward option. Haven't played X-2 yet, but it's probably great too.
No. Not yet, I'm not sure now that I read it gets a little repetitive. It looks enough charming to give it a shot, though. I'll let you know if I bite in the end.
The Witcher 3 was on sale in North America for The Game Awards, not Black Friday. The Game Awards sale ended Dec 18, unfortunately.
Wasn't phantom doctrine something like 4 bucks recently? I heard it's mostly a stealth game, though with an XCOM-ish gameplay.
I liked hard west and was thinking of this game too.
It's pretty damn bad. I bought it new and regretted it instantly.
How is Witcher III on Switch performance-wise in handheld mode? I know there's a visual downgrade, but I'm not too concerned about that. I'm thinking of jumping in to see how the experience is when I'm not chained to the TV.
It plays great. Mostly a locked 30fps with a few dips here and there, and the visuals are well preserved even docked (at least on a32" screen) though I wish the AA was disabled for a sharper image.
It's one of the few games where I sometimes stopped to watch the landscape and take screenshots.
I haven't finished it yet but it's basically Hard West with spies. I liked it better than Hard West even.
you need to finish the levels before you can save for starters, like theres no checkpoints or anything, its old school is a bad way. Or so I read when I saw it on sale, I dont actually own it.
I'm tempted to pick it up. I finished the PS4 version ages ago and thought I'd never go back since it's a long game, but the Witcher TV series on Netflix is giving me the itch.
Does it still have these dreadful overworld sections? I quite hard West close to the end of the dlc because I just couldn't take that shit anymore. I finished the main campain though.
I bought hard West for close to nothing and ended up playing a good 30 hours. Amazing investment.
Hard opinion to ask, but I'm thinking of giving myself a Christmas present and choose one of these:
Witcher 3 (played the base game but never the DLC)
Skyrim
Divinity 2
Pillars of Eternity
Which one should I choose? Want an epic adventure with an engaging storyline!

My personal favorites are IX and XII. The latter's port is outstanding and I had a ton of fun playing it earlier this year. Haven't played IX on Switch yet
I hated those in Hard West too, that's why I like PD more. It doesn't have that kind of stuff. It is harder than Hard West though. Very steep learning curve.
