- Thread starter Vanillalite

Metroid fans need to all play Axiom Verge... amazing game.
The soundtrack alone is stuff of legend.
You will miss out... big time.

I'm still playing Sonic Mania And Mario + Rabbids. So none. But I'll pick some up Stardew valley a later date, mmaybe on a sale
UGH I also have to finish those.
I'm also considering picking up Steamworld Dig 2 and Golf Story.
Stressful.

I double dipping on Oxenfree to support the devs and picking up Stardew.
Genuinely asking: with Hollow Knight on the horizon, have you had a chance to play both, and would you say which one is better?

Not to make you feel bad, but Stardew Valley is looking an awful lot like Volgarr the Viking there

Not actually that important
Hey op, thats not how you do OPs, op
Like, at least some freakin screens?
Anyway.
None for now, since Thimbleweed Park and Golf Story take precedence over these and I still have to buy them. My Switch backlog is kinda big already.

Stardew Valley.
Do you know how long Pankapu is? I haven't decided if I should get it or not.
Huh.. This looks damn great.This.
Also, anyone knows if Oxenfree has any new features for the Switch? I already played that game before, but I wouldn't mind going though it a second time if there's something new.
2D ligihtly point and click-ish thing where some teens go to hold a party on an island by themselves. Then shit gets weird/scary in a way that's pretty interesting. The dialogue system is really great with how it handles interruptions and talking while moving around.
Also interesting use of
what friends who have played the game already did

Oxenfree is amazing. Play with headphones.
HOLY FUCK, is that a motherfucking viking in a goddamn power stance perched on a goddamn arrow stuck in a motherfucking skeleton walking through some goddamn spiders and spikes?!VOLGAR THE FUCKING VIKING! Best platforming game in years!
Well then looks like I'm going Stardew. nothing sells me more then a passionate gaf testimony

Not normally a Animal Crossing fan, but it's cheap enough for me to try Stardew.
Just finished Steamworld Dig 2 (amazing) and have Golf Story to start tonight.
Tried to play Axiom Verge on PS4 and never got into it. Great soundtrack though.
Volgar looks too hard (from watching Brad at GB play it)
Tempted by Oxenfree too.

I.Already,Have.Too.Many.Games.
I even own some of these on other platforms thanks to humble bundle / incredible sales and I haven't played them but a little bit.
I mean being able to play them in bed or on the toilet or sitting outside on the patio while
a fire rages in the chimnea is appealing. I am just not sure I have the funds to scrounge up enough eshop $$ to buy them all.
I want to finish Golf story first. Then I would like to finish several other games.
Also you know while we get excited about stuff coming, some games like Neuro voider have been criminally avoided, yeah yeah, on the eshop.

not sure but it seems to have quite a bit if repeatability to get 100 percent. i LOVE the art style and gameplay tho. very glad i bought it on whim.
Sorry I have not played Hollow Knight, had to google it.
It's insane how many games release on PSN... stuff like this gets swept under the rug week after week. Happy to hear it is such a praised game!
This is not a power stance because it implies the other stances are not power
That situation will happen more and more now IMO. There are so many good games arriving each week, and the hype unfortunately only is about 1-3 game per week.

Oxenfree is fantastic. If you like story-based games or "walking simulators" then pick it up.
The conversation design is brilliant.

Narrative driven exploration-horror game taking place on a small island with a focus on naturalistic conversations between characters. Light puzzle solving elements, great atmosphere, fantastic soundtrack by scntfc. Easily my favorite game of last year. It was like a really excellent YA novel, really captured the feel of being a teenager about to move into the into the next phase of life.

Already played Oxenfree and Axiom Verge. Both are great but AV is not be missed by any metroidvania fan. Stardew Valley doesn't seem like a game for me, has never been on my radar.
Volgarr... I love a challenge and high difficulty, but this is something else. It took me an hour to finish the first stage and never finished the second one (the water themed level). It's hard as nails.

Yep its a good problem to have but right about now would be a great time for an updated eshop that does a better job of surfacing games.
I know there a lot of different avenues for game information out there but it really feels like too much stuff is missed due to the monetary nature of current online gaming media. In other words it sucks game sites can't make enough to pay more folks to do more deep dives in to all of these awesome games.

gonna grab Stardew and probably volgar, played on xbox but it seems like the right console to play it is switch
Just got a chance to look it up, and yes it does if anyone is wondering. My double dip is confirmed.
It's portable.
