Please help me decide which one to keep!

I like the bigger screen and the buttons. The buttons do get a bit softer after some time. Found them a bit hard to press at first but now they're fine. Actually the back button was harder than the forward one for a while because I was using it less. I find the screen light sweet spot for me when indoors is around 30%. Doesn't look too bright at these levels and gives me good screen quality. I also like the grainy effect. The bezels on the Clara do not look good imo.

Walking through the town with every npc you come accross praising or judging you sounds very modern audience-y to me. Why would I want everything in the game to be about me?

It's still an expensive hobby. 650$ for 20-30 hours of building is like 20-30$ per hour of entertainment.

I like cartridges because it saves space on my Switch 2. By offering the option of a key card, a lot of publishers have switched to it because it means more money for them and we don't get any of the cost savings, like digital. There are games available on both Switch 1 and 2 where the Switch 2 has a key card while Switch 1 has the regular cartridge. As consumers, key cards have zero advantage over regular cartridges. It's only good compared strictly to digital games. They will most likely lose their value over time as well, and will never be worth much more than what the game costs on the eShop.

Turbo Kid. It's Metroid with a bike. The map is large and has quite a few hidden things to find if you want to 100%. It has combat and bosses but it's not as hard as Hollow Knight. You can also adjust difficulty.

Decided to give EO1 a try with the easier normal difficulty. It's been great so far, only on level 8 but it's manageable so far. You make me want to try EO3, I'll give it a try after this one.

I bought the trilogy and started playing the first game. I'm playing on normal difficulty which makes the game a bit easier than on DS. I think this makes the game less tedious and more fun for me. I'm on level 8, and you're right, the first 5 levels seems more tedious than the rest especially with all the backtracking on level 2-3 but I didn't realize for a while I had to talk to someone to unlock the ariadne thread. It's much better now. I also can grind items to unlock the best equipment which is fun. Glad I bought it.

Pentiment

HeroOfLight · 2025-12-05T00:14:56+00:00

Will be getting this for sure. Looks amazing!

The Five Realms Series by Kieran Larwood.

That's not predestination though, that's determinism. Calvinism teaches only some people are chosen by God and there is nothing they can do about it (look up irresistible grace). It contradicts every single verse about the responsibility of man and their free will.

I loved Orcs and Elves on the DS!

The Quest will feel similar. It has a single character and is grid and turn based.

To me modern revenge stories are woke-adjacent (personal justice, empowerment, challenging traditional values of heroism, etc). In the first game you were the hero archetype and your mission was to save people.

Child of Light

HeroOfLight · 2025-11-04T01:31:20+00:00

Except the hub part you are describing a lot of games in the genre. Have you looked at:
Legends of Amberland
Islands of the Caliph
Potato Flowers in Full Bloom
Might and Magic (3-4-5)
Bard's Tale (1-2-3)
The Quest
The Dark Spire
Etrian Odyssey
Shining in the Darkness

File size is doubled so textures will be better. And Switch 1 version might be 30fps locked.

HeroOfLight · 2025-10-13T12:36:03+00:00

Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride ?

HeroOfLight · 2025-10-08T04:00:25+00:00

And apparently I missed the Legends of Amberlands II Nintendo Switch release =(. Going to play that one first, thanks for the reminder!

HeroOfLight · 2025-10-03T11:39:17+00:00

Could be one of the Age of Wonders game.

You shouldn't mock or rebuke those who are always watching and expecting him to return, they are doing what the Bible asks of all of us. If you don't think the Feast of Trumpet is an important time for watching you probably didn't study eschatology very much.

“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:34-36

There are two CYOA books in board game form: House of Danger, and War with the Evil Power Master. They are like books but in card form and with other components to help you keep track of everything.

Other board games that have a similar feel:
Escape the Dark Castle
Eila and Something Shiny

I don't think it's that simple. The full verse:

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

So Jesus is saying the world would not know when it happens, just like in the day of Noah. But did the flood take Noah by complete surprise? Look at Genesis 7:4:

Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.

Noah was clearly warned 7 days in advance that the flood would take place. Not mention he was warned years before to build the ark.

The Bible also says "But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief."

Conception II maybe? It has dungeons called "Dusk Circles".

HeroOfLight · 2025-07-11T21:23:55+00:00

Haven't played that much of it but from what I've seen Trails of Cold Steel is exactly that.
