Ordered Tiny Barbarian and Dragon's Dogma, don't know when i'll get to them cause I still have Dark Souls, Starlink DLC tomorrow, all the Picross, and more...need to prioritize!

I can vouch for Tiny Barbarian being a blast on the Switch. I've only played the first couple of levels but really loved what I played.

Meanwhile, I've been working on my own Switch backlog. Now I have Phantasy Star done I'm playing Bleed - its a run and gun game with heavy focus on some awesome boss fights. It has a bullet time mechanic that's used to great effect in the boss battles and the short levels that preceed them - makes it feel incredibly fast paced and hectic, especially on the harder difficulties. Only real downer is its a bit short. I'll absolutely be giving the sequel a shot when I get a chance, I loved what I played :)

How is VA-11 Hall-A for those that have played it?

Looks intriguing as hell to me, will more than likely pick it up.
Played it on Vita last year and it became a favorite of mine. Its style and presentation are extremely strong and the characters very interesting; I especially loved the protagonist, Jill.

It has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game as well.

My only gripe with the Switch would be that apparently it doesn't have touch controls? Or at least it wasn't a planned feature last I heard. Those made the drink mixing pretty fun and painless on Vita and I know this port is entirely new and not based on that one, which is a shame.

I like everything written there. Day 1. Loved the trailer
