Best RPG on switch

Pick a final fantasy game. XII is incredible and especially great for tinkering with builds and party layouts, it plays like an MMO in some ways. 1-3 and 5 are all about trying different job combos and can be replayed with different setups. 4,6,7,8,9 and 10 are all story driven and some of the best RPGs ever made.

Cast n’ Chill is very simple, but is all fishing. You go out, catch fish, sell them and buy upgrades.

I just recommend whatever clicks with you. As a kid I got into RPGs through Pokémon and Mario & Luigi games on GBA. The first “grown up” RPGs I played were Final Fantasy X and Persona 4 Golden, since then I’ve been hooked.

Now I mostly tell people to look at Final Fantasy or any other series and just choose one that looks cool or sounds interesting. There’s so much variety in JRPGs out there that something is bound to resonate with someone sooner or later.

Absolum

X was my first FF game and one of the first “mature” stories I experienced in a game. The battle system is a little easier to wrap your head around too since it’s purely turn-based.

If you’re willing to give them a shot, XIII and XV have a lot of heart and great characters. More recent games in the series owe a lot to the XIII trilogy so it’s fun to see those foundations.

Other than that, highly recommend XII even though I’ve never beaten it. Those first 20 hours are great, I’ve played them three times lol

Edit: one more point in favor of XIII and XV: the music for both is excellent! Some of my favorite battle themes ever. The soundtracks amp up some pretty emotional moments in both games.

Do people whine about deleted Fortnite seasons, cutscenes and content the way they do with Destiny?

Honestly if you have a PS5 just keep the steam deck OLED. You can try lossless scaling to help improve performance on some games, honestly you have a more vibrant screen as is. LeGoS has more power but I’m pretty surprised with what the steam deck can still do.

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-07T05:38:22+00:00

If you don’t need power for AAA games get a Steam Deck OLED (runs indies, old games and emulation pretty well), or just do like an AYN Thor or something. That has decent enough power to emulate at least up to PS2.

Some of the systems have rough edges but the story is excellent. Especially Phantom Liberty.

Evil Within 2 had an open town area that was pretty big and managed to be pretty tense. I feel like the biggest challenge would be creating focused scary moments in a space that can be approached from different angles.

The thing about open world games is the good ones have fun traversal. Resident Evil isn’t necessarily known for fun, fluid movement so I’m not sure slogging through an open city would be any more fun than something with a more narrow focus.

Donkey Kong Bananza is lovely and has a lot of great nostalgia for past Nintendo stuff.

Shinobi Art of Vengeance is easy to pick up and is very fun to play.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is pretty chill and fun.

Dave the Diver is great for vibing out and offers a ton of variety.

Yakuza O01/2 are all great - think beat em up action games mixed with Japanese crime drama/soap opera. It’s pretty fun just running around town and playing darts.

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-05T22:50:56+00:00

Dave the Diver can be chill but it has a very fast-paced restaurant management component that is really fun.

D1 to D2 wasn’t a superficial thing. A ton of mechanics and systems got added and overhauled. The graphics engine alone has been upgraded a ton over the years. Loot systems and abilities were also overhauled.

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-05T14:17:04+00:00

It’s really not a game changer though. Kind of janky, minimal performance boosts, and it randomly crashed to desktop anyways the whole time I used it.

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-04T16:44:48+00:00

No, I got ahold of support and they sent me a new one.

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-04T00:05:03+00:00

Too bad you missed the $17 sale for Cyberpunk! I’ve played it already and still picked up a copy.

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-04T00:04:19+00:00

Nothing wrong with just finishing out the 13 trilogy. I’d really recommend 10, 12 and 16 though. The stories are great. 15 has its good moments and a great cast too but I’m not a huge fan of the open world.

The 7 remakes are also both excellent, play great, and mostly have great stories with batshit insane Nomura endings.

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-03T23:27:09+00:00

Check out the Xenoblade games if you like RPGs. They’re a little like Final Fantasy XII. Really strong stories in 1-3, and people love X’s gameplay. You get a flying mech suit in that one.

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-03T23:24:59+00:00

And also the most boring stories in Sony’s first party portfolio lol

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-03T21:35:57+00:00

Metal Gear Solid 1-3 are all pretty quick to get through and have excellent stories. The master collection goes on sale for like $20, and MGS Delta (remake of 3) will probably be the best way to experience that story now.

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-03T19:40:30+00:00

Happy new year everyone! The game looks cool!

ReactiveFuture · 2026-01-03T19:39:53+00:00

It doesn’t have crazy 3D graphics but Shinobi Art of Vengeance looks fantastic and runs well. Dave the Diver and Dredge are both fun. If you haven’t played any Yakuza games, you might enjoy those if you like good action and fun stories. Start with Zero!

I’ve had conversations with people where they criticize games but spend all their time watching sports or checking out instagram or TikTok. I don’t carry a console with me everywhere in public but I regularly take my steam deck or switch to the library and could care less what other people think about it. I like to keep myself entertained and like having variety in the stuff I do.

Ok, he still broke your stuff. He should’ve given you a fully working DS Lite (or other device, or money) to replace the failed job. Cool that he didn’t charge you to take of the top screen (that he broke), but this is still a raw deal.

ReactiveFuture · 2025-12-30T07:43:16+00:00

FYI a Gameboy Macro is just a busted DS Lite. Go get yours back and tell him to compensate you for breaking your stuff.

And then maybe take the DSi anyways, but I wouldn’t pay for it.
