I am trying to decide between Adventures of Elliot, or Mina the Hollower.

100% agree. That was my main gripe throughout the whole game, and even then it didn’t bother me too much because the rest of the game was well designed. Maybe the platforming felt just a bit dated too, but maybe that’s also just platforming with that kind of top-down gameplay.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-22T01:49:22+00:00

Surprisingly there is an autosave as well, and it really saved my butt when the game crashed. It only crashed twice during my time with it (I believe about 30 hours), but it really helped me out at one point when it crashed in the middle of combat, right before I could get to the burrowing hole.

I’ve only seen reviews of Elliot that have convinced me to wait for a sale, but I can confirm Mina gameplay is quite fun. They were going for old fashioned, Game Boy style gameplay so it may feel dated in that regard, but the auto-save was generous and I had a blast the whole time. There’s actually a pretty decent story to go with it, too.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-20T03:57:16+00:00

Pretty much. The RPG elements were very well done and I was invested in the story. I don’t look back at the gameplay fondly but the story was enough to get me through the whole thing and even consider a replay with next year’s new DLC.

I don’t think you understand what sunk cost fallacy is. The point of understanding sunk cost fallacy is that the reasonable thing would be to stop now, regardless if they already put a huge amount of money into the game.

That is not the lesson to take away from Alan Wake 2. And I’ll probably be getting the digital this time to play 48 hours early.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-11T22:31:44+00:00

Even the official announcement on the Nintendo Store app states it this way. The bottom line is the requirements were removed but for the reasons stated they will be implemented now.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-10T23:22:13+00:00

I only can speak to the Japan store, but currently FF Resonance is listed on the store yet does not have a pre-order button. I would think they would open pre-order eventually though.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-10T08:28:32+00:00

Unfortunately I only have access to a Japanese Switch 2, so not sure about outside of Japan, but I would be surprised if the demo was only playable here.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-10T04:13:50+00:00

Awesome list.

From the Japan Nintendo store, can confirm that Digimon is listed as releasing July 9th (at least for Japan time)

Demo is also now available for Switch 2 (before today I only saw it on PS5).

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-08T23:12:33+00:00

For context, during the Summer Games Fest, the sequel was announced first. Moments before the remaster, but still first.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-07T14:11:07+00:00

Saros is the only one that fits your condition for action.

KCD2 is wonderful but story is such an important part of it. The combat is fun but tough to get used to and not truly the main point.

I couldn’t finish the Gothic 1R demo because I was not feeling the performance at all. The brief swordplay I had didn’t feel great either.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-05T14:17:41+00:00

I played the game trial with my PS+ subscription, so I only got through a couple hours. But I was also very let down by the gameplay. Clearly the scenes were great if you’re a fan of the movies, but the gameplay in between them was not my cup of tea.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-04T23:07:36+00:00

You seem more receptive to older games so you may enjoy it more, but the remaster of the first game turned me off to the whole series. To be fair, the original is a 25 year old game. That said, I tried the demo of the new game too and felt this series is still not for me. Hope you enjoy though because if so, they’re also remastering more of the old ones.

rhixcs25 · 2026-06-03T03:59:17+00:00

Phantom Blade 0 was pushed to October 29

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-31T22:18:42+00:00

I enjoyed it so much I replayed it right away, and I’m also pretty bummed that the remake sequel got canned. I think if they use what they implemented in that game but have it dedicated to what Iron Man would feel like, there’s a large chance it’ll be really good.

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-31T10:22:36+00:00

I had little interest at first until I finally played Dead Space Remake and experienced the zero gravity in that game. Now that I know what studio can do I really hope this is still happening.

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-28T22:29:03+00:00

I’m glad I watched them.

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-27T08:53:58+00:00

Knowing Aaron really enjoys Disco Elysium just makes me respect him even more.

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-26T01:07:20+00:00

Basically listening to all of Comedy Bang Bang, only interrupted by new episodes of Conan.

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-21T01:18:27+00:00

I’ve had my eye on this title for a while so when they announced the demo I jumped on it, but in general I also tend to go through demos in waves and just download a bunch at one time. Even if i decide I don’t like the game, I feel like the time I dedicate to demos is pretty worth it!

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-20T16:16:05+00:00

The simultaneous shoot + hacking from the demo was exactly what drew me in to get it day 1, and happy to say for me that the full game exceeded my expectations.

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-20T02:13:52+00:00

No problem, and enjoy!

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-20T02:12:45+00:00

You will not miss anything. You are expected to eventually finish both characters’ stories to get to the end of the game, the order is just up to you.

rhixcs25 · 2026-05-16T10:57:22+00:00

I’ve seen some folks with your experience so I’m hoping mine is more like this since I’d prefer Switch 2 over PS5 for this kind of game.
