Owned Astral Chain since 2019 but stopped playing after 2 chapters because another game grabbed my attention.
Now 3 years later I've finally gotten back to it and completed the game, and damn it's really good! Some classic over-the-top Japanese bits but otherwise solid, recommend.
Mainly for the attention of DPB because somehow this game didn't make his list of ~100 switch games he's played yet.

Next up is Octopath Traveler which has been lying in my closet for even longer, didn't really click the first time I played it, time to give it another chance.

i'd love a Pac-man multiplayer game where 1 player is Pacman and 1 or more of the Ghosts are controlled by humans. Restrict the Ghosts by only allowing the Ghosts to make a non-reverse turn at each intersection.
Unfortunately, in Pacman's 41 year history, I don't think its ever been done.

If you like Slay The Spire, i can highly recommend Monster Train too. No idea if it exists on the Switch.

Giving Octopath Traveler another chance after dropping it in 2018.
Found out through the subreddit that the sequel is launching in 2 days?
I remember the game having lots of fans on here so just in case you didn't know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopath_Traveler:_Champions_of_the_Continent

Although it's a mobile game, not available on Switch...

It's a prequel, not a sequel. I heard the developers were big fans of Another Eden, which is the only mobile game I'm playing right now. Another Eden was eventually available on Steam, so who knows.

I just finished 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Great story, worth the high reviews. The battle portion was considered the weaker part of the game by many reviewers but it still works for me. It was maybe 30% of my total time played and that's with me taking my sweet time deciding on upgrades. Some of the requirements for advancing the story for certain characters can be occasionally hard to figure out. I just used a guide for those. The story is the definite highlight of the game.

Switch menu informs me that XC3 is out. I’m still playing Octopath and have Pokemon Legends as well as FE Warriors in the backlog, but I’m eager to hear your opinions!
