    I’m enjoying this series so far. I appreciate the recommendations as well as the banter. 👍

    As for my own underrated game, I think it's been mentioned already in the comments, but it really needs to be mentioned more often. I literally never see anyone talk about it! It's Horace, a masterpiece of British gaming, the best platformer I've played in a long while. A fantastic story (that'll get you teary eyed), some of the next gameplay I've ever experienced for a 2D platformer, fantastic pixel graphics, cool references to gaming and pop culture in general... It's one of the best games I've ever played, and I never hear anyone talk about it. It's such a shame such a masterpiece is getting so little love!

    Chants of Senaar is a stunning game. It really surprised me as it was longer and much more complex than I initially expected.

    Would love it if you did a 'But We Love It Anyway' video, with games that aren't 'good' as such but you love anyway. I'm thinking of things like Little Dragon's Cafe, which is objectively not great but I really love regardless. It would be really cool to see a list like that!

    Great video! I've had Pentiment on my to-do list since the Xbox release, but I've been extra tempted to push it up and grab it on the Switch so I can play it in bed handheld. Chants of Sennar was one that I've seen a lot of high praise for and sounds interesting to me, but I had no idea there was a demo for it. Downloading it right now, thanks for the info.

    Pentiment was really damn cool, a little slow in some areas but the writing was really solid AND the setting and visuals are so unique too.

    I've got Chants of Sennaar on my wishlist. Loved the demo, and being a conlanger myself it's definitely in my area of interest. I'll definitely get the full version soon.
    And now I'll add Forest Quartet to my wishlist as well. It looks really interesting and the short run time is a win for me!

    Horace. 10/10 scores, difficult but fast paced and rewarding platforming, cheap, always on sale, like 15 hours for me, jawdropping story that will stay with you, absolutely amazing and NEVER talked about

    Takeshi and Hiroshi is an INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE NICREDIBLE switch game. Its short, but really tackles the struggles home and school like of an older brother thats a game developer and is really struggling with the stress and anxiety of his younger brother who is sick with something and keeps going to hospital for it. Its a short game, but beautiful and powerful. I absolutely adored this title. I saw it in a nintendo direct years ago and scooped it up as soon as it came out.

    I've started playing sword art alicization lycoris and if you can just get through the long cutscenes, the game play and exploration is actually a lot of fun. I'm going to download the others when they are on sale.
    I would say those games are pretty under rated for anyone else in a gamer drought currently. Keep posting these videos to help us through the drought nintendo life! You guys are the best nintendo channel

    You know what’s a rough little gem that I get hours of enjoyment from? Empire of Sin. iirc it’s switch port got mixed reviews but With the dlc it’s not too bad and there’s something about blowing up a rival distillery that makes bedtime oh so more sweet.

    I barely ever see Super Crazy Rhythm Castle mentioned anywhere, but it's my recommendation. It definitely earns the 'super crazy' descriptor, and is a whole heap of fun whether played solo or in Overcooked!-esque multiplayer. As the name alludes to, the gameplay is music-driven and some of the tracks can best be described as pesky earworms. The writing's pretty funny and the tasks varied enough to keep you interested through the 30 levels. Performance on Switch leaves a little to be desired, but overall it's well worth playing if you like co-op multiplayer and/or rhythm games. Surely Felix can't sleep on this one? 🙂

    I’m a little bummed, because I got sucked into watching a playthrough of Chants of Sennar, and now all the great surprises are spoiled for me (my own fault). The scope is so much bigger than the first 30 min of gameplay let on.

    I would love to get chants of sennaar but their publisher tried to get unfettered access to my information just to play the demo so until the get a new publisher they won't be seeing my money.
    There is absolutely no decent reason for me to agree to that just to play a single player game.
    Pentiment looks like it could be good but it comes from MS that made it clear that they will remain silent when one of its subsidiaries endorses grooming.
    I honestly don't remember gaming companies being this scummy when I was a kid.
