I'm tethered to a sick dog for the past last two weeks, so I've hammered through a ton of Switch games.
Finally beat Mario and Rabbids. I think this and BOTW were the first Switch games I got. Pretty fun XCOM-like game. The dialogue and scenes between battles really dragged it down for me. Deaths were meaningless, and I think I would've been more invested and focused had there been any consequences to dying or losing characters. I actually really want to play XCOM 2 again. I barely remember it, except the console version had brutal loading times. 7/10
Also completed Metroid Dread. I've been wanting a 2D Metroid games for decades - and this one delivered. My god was it hard at times, some of those puzzles were just maddening to the point of not fun. Even so, one of the best games on the Switch. 9/10
Zelda: Link's Awakening. I was stuck somewhere quite early on (i forget where exactly now) since it came out, and just put the game on the shelf. Restarted where I'd left off (5-6 hearts?) and made my way through over the last week. Not my favourite Zelda game, but the puzzles and gameplay were familiar. The story was all over the place, I have no idea what was going on. Looked amazing. 8/10
Next up Diablo III. Not sure where I left off, but depending on how far into it I was, I might just start anew.
