Nintendo Switch Year in Review 2024
(year-in-review.nintendo.com)
What were your Top 3 most played games this year? Here's mine:
Harvestella was a really good surprise for me this year. It felt really unimpressive to me at first, but kept growing on me as I played and I ended up with a quite positive opinion of the game at the end.
Indivisible (completed). Enjoyed this one but didn't love it. I liked the animation and a couple of the characters were very memorable, but it went on a bit too long and the backtracking was a little out of control. Got 100% completion, though. 7.5/10
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (in progress). I'm enjoying it, although it's surprising how little the franchise has evolved on a fundamental level since 1991. It's all gradual evolution, like relationship building outside of battles. You can't even buy/sell/equip weapons for your army outside of battle in this, which is kind of crazy (and makes things much more difficult than they need to be), and it has weapon degradation (which I never enjoy), but the animated character images during dialogue and story are far more advanced than many games of the time.
Shantae (temporarily abandoned). The original. I didn't spend very long with it, but the platforming and hit detection felt very loose. I know the series improves, so I'll likely return to it at some point in the future.
