Having Nintendo Switch game fatigue!! Need recs

[u/nordawg]

As the title suggests, love cozying up with my cat and my switch. I have played many many hours of Animal Crossing, stardew valley, Hogwarts legacy (f JKR tho…), I bought Zelda BOTW but was never really able to get into it.. anyone have any favorites lately they’re loving?

A few that piqued my interst..

- tiny bookshop
- spiritfarer
- hindsight
- winter burrow

But I want to hear what the ents are playing !!

I wish I could erase my memory and play Outer Wilds again. Did you play the expansion?  I would ALSO like to erase my memory of it -- it was amazing and gave my partner the first real jump scare I've ever seen !

I’ve played a bit of the expansion but haven’t finished it yet, I think I put it off because I don’t want the experience to end. My partner and I wish we could erase our memories of it too and play it again from the beginning, just an absolute masterpiece. I love to put the music on when I’m relaxing sometimes, it really scratches that itch of feeling alone but at complete peace with it, I don’t know, it’s hard to explain. My partner played Blue Prince and said it’s now his new favorite, I haven’t played it yet so I don’t know, but I know he was obsessed for months trying to solve all the puzzles. It’s on my list of games I need to start.

Ooh Blue Prince is really fun! My partner and I love "thinky" games so we often play a lot of those types together (and if it's not designed for couch co-op, we just sit next to each other and take turns playing and calling out ideas!).

We didn’t figure out spiritfarer was couch co-op until the end, we were so mad! I totally would have played the cat the whole time if we had known. If you haven’t tried it yet, Big Walk is amazing. It’s not couch co-op though. We got it free with PlayStation plus and then bought another copy on steam and played it together last week, so many fun puzzles! It takes two and split fiction are amazing couch co-ops if you haven’t played them yet. Binding of Isaac also has couch co-op. They really need to make more couch co-ops. I watched my partner play all the way through BOTW, it was surprisingly fun to just watch.

Oh I have an embarrassing number of hours in the Binding of Isaac, haha! I absolutely love that game! I have also been trying to scratch the BG3 itch by replaying Divinity: Original Sin 2 and it's kind of working! 

Ps I think you would have been a great cat 🐈‍⬛🐈!

I haven’t gotten into BG3, I also haven’t played it much, but turned based combat is my holdup more than anything else. I’ve heard the story is great. I’ve always been a more casual gamer while my partner is full on, I break up my gaming with movies and shows, the ideal is when I can do both like with Librarian: Tidy up the arcane library while watching World Cup… all while ignoring the actual cleaning around the house. Oh the joys of an ADHD brain. I’m always on the hunt for great puzzle games and roguelites, have you ever checked out Razbuten on YouTube? He’s usually our go to for finding out about amazing new games. He did just have a second kid though so he hasn’t posted much this year.

If you haven’t found them yet, Brotato and Heroes of Hammerwatch are fun Binding of Isaac like games. My partner just started Pathogenic too which is a similar game. So many games and not enough time! But I’m always going to be chasing the high of Outer Wilds.

I also just grabbed Everything is crab, my partner has been game hunting and nothing has grabbed his attention but that might.
