  • Putting this in a seperate comment because it is unrelated but that is a completely acceptable reason to hate part 2. (Like most good stories) it’s not made for everyone.

    I think the reason you (and others who dislike part 2) were (wrongfully) labeled as a bigot is because most the hate for the game came after the leaks and before the release, so all people knew was that

    spoiler

    They’re killing off the male main character, that’s so woke!!!

    and all reasonable criticism that came after were unfortunately assumed to be in that group.
















  • People are buying it because they love Nintendo games like you said. It’s also because most people don’t know enough to emulate/are scared off by anti piracy laws.

    Another reason is that people are impatient, if the price dropped I would be tempted to buy one, especially if they also announce a new 3d mario (odyssey is one of my favourite games of all time). I’d want to play it now and not wait for the switch 2 to be hacked.

    A lot of people who know how to emulate also would rather buy original hardware because playing on it is just better (I’m the same, if the joycons didn’t drift, I probably wouldn’t emulate my switch 1 games on my deck)


  • Kaizen - a puzzle game developed by some of the zachtronics team, it looks interesting but the demo was underwhelming.

    Star birds - a logistics game made by the developers of Dorfromantik and published by Kurzgesagt. It reminded me of anno for some reason but they are quite different games. I liked it.

    Word play - a rougelike deckbuilding (very original) word puzzle game by Mark Brown (from GMTK). Didn’t play it much but when I did I got hooked on it like a rougelike has never hooked me before.

    Sintopia - I don’t really know how to describe this. It’s a bit like two point. I would just look at the steam page yourself. I thought it was ok but didn’t like that the main character in the tutorial was horny.

    Grappling bagel - cool game. Lots of fun on the steam deck. The title tells you what the game is.

    I was also interested in wildgate but didn’t have time to play it.
