    I’m bouncing between several games right now:

    • Trails in the Sky First Chapter - the trails series is one I’ve always wanted to get into, so the recent remake of the first game seemed like a great place to start. Runs great on deck. Unfortunately they’re trying a new publisher (Gung-ho) for this version of the game, and they didn’t discount the game for regional pricing making it too expensive for many countries. Russia was one of the only countries with typical regional pricing, but after people pointed that out, Gung-ho decided to remove it from same in Russia rather than adjust pricing elsewhere. It’s a great game from a great developer, and it feels like some controversy over the publisher’s handling of the game is greatly hurting how it performs. It has a pretty lengthy (~10 hours) demo to try, if you’re interested.

    • Sonic Racing Crossworlds - MKW was kinda disappointing (and also not on the Deck). Crosswords has been really fun actually and is scratching that itch. Runs really well on the deck, the only negative is it requires Internet when first launched (after that initial check you can go offline and still play single player or split screen multiplayer though).

    • Cloverpit - this is from the same devs as Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, which is why I picked it up. It’s basically slot machine Balatro, with a horror theme (you’re locked in a room, have to earn money through gambling to make deadline amounts, miss the deadline and the floor opens dropping you to your death). Apparently the launch has been very successful (300k copies sold in 3 days), with a lot of YouTubers covering it.

      I have been really curious about Sonic Racing Crossworlds, thanks for the blurb about it!

      I have played Mario Kart prior to this gen (I don’t have a Switch 2) and really like Sonic’s characters. I might wait to see if it goes on sale because full price seems a little steep.

        Yeah, it is priced kinda high. Especially since most people will want the bundle with DLC characters (Minecraft and SpongeBob characters officially confirmed, supposedly getting Avatar the last air bender, TMNT, Amogus, and others as well)
