    Got a few on the go because I recently got a Switch.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder: just about 100%.

    Metroid Dread: awesome.

    Moonlighter: great for a few minutes here and there.

    Axiom Verge: for when I get stuck in Dread.

    The to play pile is growing, so I better finish one of those soon. Hades and Iconoclasts will have to wait a bit.

      I was so impressed with Metroid Dread, like seriously. As a long time fan of the series I was going to buy the game anyway but it’s just such an impressively polished and put together piece of art. I was deeply impressed with it. I’m also a big fan of the direction it’s taking the lore into.

      Edit: can’t get the spoiler tag to work so I just removed the second half of my comment sorry

        Dread was great, but the EMMI sections were not fun at all. Especially since you could walk into the room and immediately die with no way to stop it.

          I didn’t mind them that much, I viewed them more as a puzzle than a combat. It helped break up some of the run and gun of the rest of the game and you always knew you were getting a cool ability when you got through it.

          That said though I’ll admit the last couple EMMIs did give me a really hard time with many, many resets. But I did get through them. And once I even managed to get the perfect parry and escape after getting got by the EMMI and it was extremely hype.

          I was worried I would hate them. I find myself looking forward to them. It is always a great feeling to finish one of them off.

        I didn’t see it so nothing was spoiled. I’m trying not to read the guides but I do want to know when the last PNR is in case I need to explore a little.
