I'm glad that you enjoyed this game! Some of your reactions to the characters' fates took me back to when I played the series on Vita haha. It was also nice to see you mention the extra stuff like Distrust.
I will warn you now, if you are playing the trilogy through on the Switch's Decadence Collection... V3 is poorly optimized during certain class trial sections and I actually struggled to complete some of the mini games because of how laggy it was (when it ran perfectly on the Vita). It's possible they patched it since I played it after the first or second patch, but keep it in mind.
It is still doable, but it's a bit of a shame because I love this series. I hope you enjoy Goodbye Despair and V3 provided you complete them as well!
Persona 3/4/5 (not all tracks are instrumentals, but most of them are and they are straight bangers)
Katana Zero
Danganronpa 1, 2, V3
Silent Hill 1, 2, 3 (all I can vouch for, but I hear the later games still have banging soundtracks)
Crosscode
Kingdom Hearts 1/2
Nier Automata
Minecraft
Donkey Kong Country 1/2
VA-11 HALL-A
Catherine Full Body
Deadbolt
Risk of Rain 1/2
Some of these you'd have to sift through, like Silent Hill is one part industrial creepy noise, and one part absolutely incredible hip hop and rock
2006 was a neat game with some particularly cool bits, but 2017 is one of my favorite games of all time and pound for pound is a superior game due to 2017 being a spiritual successor to System Shock 2.
Very different games though, I don't honestly think they should be compared directly, it was already a weird choice for Prey 2017 to receive the franchise name.
Oh nice! I really enjoy Ready or Not, it's nice to see more content for it. I saw their store page for this and it didn't state a price, so I'm curious what it'll be.
That's one that I was hesitant to include, because I feel like it's more to do with my love of the era Bioware made, and nostalgia than it is a promotion of how the game holds up nowadays. But I personally love KoTOR!
Some single player games I've replayed often that aren't roguelikes would be...
Dishonored
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2
Prey 2017
Hitman, but specifically the World of Assassination games
Bethesda RPGs
Grand Theft Auto/Rockstar, specifically for me 5 or Red Dead Redemption
Dark Souls (I replay it on offline mode predominantly anyway)
Dying Light
Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor/War
Halo MCC campaigns
Mount & Blade series
Katana ZERO
Vanquish/other platinum games
Plants vs Zombies Battle for the Neighborville. You might think I'm kidding, but in terms of how it feels to play it's my favorite shooter on the switch. The people who made that knew what the fuck they were doing.
At its own formula? I thought Palworld had a whole like crafting and base building/management side. That's not really what I wanted out of a pokemon type game, and so I didn't get Palworld. I can understand it being a better game for somebody who likes that, but I don't know if that qualifies as Pokemon's formula.
Just beat Catherine Full Body last night. There are a lot of things I like about the game, and some things I both like and dislike. It's really more of a "this is the main character's story and you're mostly along for the ride" than it is a narrative experience where you choose every move the protagonist makes.
Because of that, I think how you feel about the story will be determined by your own stance on relationships and the morality of them, hedonism, marriage, and things like that. For me, I felt familiarity with my experience watching Breaking Bad in its painful spectation of characters who make questionable decisions and their creation of damning consequences.
Easy mode treated the puzzles well, just takes away the time pressure of the blocks falling away (save for the boss battles where you're being chased). I ended up quite enjoying the puzzles! In the end, I don't know if I'd recommend the game. If you're interested in games doing something neat and novel with the topic of relationships then I think you'll find value in it.
I did that with the first KoTOR a year ago! It was more difficult than using a saber for sure, you really get the impression they didn't really think anyone would want to main blasters. How is it in the second one?
