Agent A is more than worth its $3 sale price right now, a well made 6-hour point&click adventure. 79 on MC: https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/agent-a-a-puzzle-in-disguise
Picked up FutureGrind myself.

Play the PC version if you have the choice. Unless you have the taste for the macabre, then the Switch port may be for you. It's hideous and performs not great but I still put 40 good hours into it.
NP! Take in mind both have been deeply discounted, so you may want to wait. Phantom Doctrine lowest has been 4,19 € and Hard West 1,99 €.
The Netflix series almost made me buy The Witcher 3, but I play 90% dock and I don't like how it looks on the big screen. Thronebreaker, however... Is the plot/lore deep or is it a card game light on story?
I have absolutely no idea of all things The Witcher, sorry XD
Seriously?? Holy shit, I had given up on that ever happening given the game was a big failure.
It's available as we speak, in Europe at least.
Icon hasn't the title in it, is all I can say.
I've been utterly spoiled with story driven games in the opening weeks of 2020. 198X was a joy, but Coffee Talk is really, REALLY good.

I second the recommendation for Agent A, fun point and click.
I hope this will turn out to be good, i'm waiting for it since they show it in a Direct.
Thanks for this, I'm really interested in it. How would you compare it to VA-11 HALL-A? I liked it, but it was a bit of a drag for me at the end…
I haven't played VA-11 HALL-A, so cannot compare. I don't usually get on with visual novels though, so for this one to hook me, was a surprise.
My mistake, for some reason I thought you stopped playing at the Lair. Aww, sorry you didn't care for it then. ;___;
How about Ori, have you played that? I love it and recently finished a replay, and can't recall reading impressions of it from you.

Thanks for sharing your review bradigor, I really enjoyed reading it. Definitely got me a lot more interested in the game.

I tried the demo but I wasn't really feeling it. I'll probably give it another go someday though, since it has such acclaim.
I hope you dig it if you do. Its focus is platforming and traversal rather than combat so it may help going in with that in mind, based on some impressions I've seen in here.
Just picked up Torchlight II. It is so damn good! Can't believe I've never played this game before. :o
Oh will probably be picking up Thronebreaker, nice!.
The icon could be better (http://www.switchiconshowdown.com/detail.php?id=3430)... why why why :|
Regardless, I'll wait for a bit more feedback on the quality of the switch version first.

That seems weird. I guess it expired a month before the game actually comes out? Which just makes me want to skip it now.
Anybody in here using an 8BitDo Dongle and an XB1 controller to play their Switch docked?
I've been playing Dead Cells with that setup this week and while the game works fine overall, I am not getting any kind of rumble... According to the 8BitDo website the dongle does support rumble with the XB1 controller... The option is turned on in the game and I have rumble when playing with the joycons...

We low-key revealed it earlier today but yes, we do have PS4 and Switch physical for KRZ: TV Edition coming via iam8bit.
Very good to know!
How much will it cost for an italian user like me? What do you think?
I'm going through cuphead right now. I like it, but I don't see the masterpiece that everyone sees. Indeed, the game is incredibly well done; the visuals, the music the animations, the general atmosphere. Absolutely amazing.
The gameplay however has many shortcomings which, for a boss rush, are problematic in my opinion. Ultimately, it boils down to the fact that I'm not getting better at the game; I'm just getting better at beating a specific boss. I feel no sense of progression.
In comparison, when I was playing Furi (one of my favorite games in 2018), I genuinely felt that my skills as a player were improving, so much that I actually trounced the final few bosses and the dlc despite struggling for the first bosses. I don't feel that with cuphead.
My other issue with the game is the complete lack of feedback from my actions. It often feels that I just need to survive for a certain duration by executing a choreography while maintaining the shooting button, but I never feel that I'm "fighting" the boss.
So, I'm disappointed. I'm still having fun with it, but not as much as I hoped. I'm happy that I only spent 10 euros for it.

I bought Touryst and it's... Alright, but it isn't gripping me yet - I'm on the... Fourth? Island.
Any idea as to when I'll get into it? It feels like there isn't much left of the game.

Realy? I feel the sense of progression is very much present. Admitedly, when you beat a boss it's almost like you are back to square 1 since it's a new boss, but the feeling of getting better at a specific boss with each try is great. Every time I die I feel I'm a step closer to defeating it.
Can anyone comment on the Divinity OS2 port? I've heard it's good quality, so what I'm mostly curious about is how well it plays with a controller. Would I end up preferring I had a mouse to point and click with?
I'm an idiot who bought Kentucky Route Zero as soon as it came out instead of just knowing that I would impulse buy it anyway and preloading it to save a few bucks.
But I'm really excited to play Kentucky Route Zero knowing next to nothing other than it's magic realism.

Played through the first two stages of Katana Zero. Very impressed so far! The combat is elegant and satisfying while the story has me hooked.
The game is very short and simple. The activities you can do are varied but they're always simple things.
I quite liked it, but it is a game, in my opinion, to help you chill out.
If you're not feeling it by now maybe you won't like it? And that's fine by the way.
It works great, I played the first one on PC and it is clear that they really put a lot of thought into the controller scheme, everything feels very snappy and you can use L and R for precision aiming. The port in terms of performance and fidelity is excellent, albeit I play exclusively in handheld mode.
Yes, I'm getting better at beating a specific boss. When playing Furi, I was getting better at playing Furi. Anyway, I'm clearly in the minority since the game is universally praised.
Badtimes, maybe it's because I've just come from Dead Cells but I'll leave it a few days and try again - that surf mini game was tough though lol.

Katana Zero is AMAZING, I can't wait for the sequel/dlc.
Kinda but i would like some review or maybe i'll wait that some people try it before buying it.
Yeah, game just too big for Switch to handle. I mean, I've heard PC can have issues at too as well lol
Maybe if we get a Pro Switch, it can get it
Maybe, but having played it a lot, I can see it struggle a lot (but still plays fine and is acceptable). so I can 100% believe them when they say it's at least cause game is too heavy on performance.
Of course, did take me till there was a 70% off sale to get it. and that was literally a month ago. So, could be low sales too.
I know it's been out for a few months now, but enjoying the Puzzle Quest game again. Just as good as years ago. Plus it's apparently on sale this week. I probably prefer Gems of War overall, and it's one of the few free to play games I spend time with(and a bit of money on). I hate to admit I am over level 1,000 in Gems of War. I get embarrassed when I see how many hours played it shows on my profile page. Lol.
Really love the recent Tiny Metal game as well. Prefer it over Wargroove(which is also good)
