How come you have such a big backlog?? Do you actively try to finish the games you buy? I ask this because it's a very interesting trend that i see within the gaming community these days. Back in the day when i was a kid, my family couldn't afford to buy games.....so when they bought Donkey Kong 64 on Christmas, i would spend hours, days, weeks, months on it and would play the HECK out of that cartridge. These days, i feel its the reverse......people have money and MANY games to spare but so little time to actually sit down and play them

You could feel the differences in the characters. Slow, fast, heavy ,lite my and it all made since. All the DLC made it an even better game. The game to me is worth $59 to me.

*A Space For Unbound* is such an amazing indie game ❤ Also if someone doesn't have *Children of Morta* or *Dead Cells* by now, you're doing yourself big disservice. I saw Iron Pineapple playing *Laika* and it looked like a very cool game and I know he enjoyed it a lot too. Quite unique traversal as well. Definitely falls into "Hidden Gem" category. Congrats on finishing Xenoblade 3. My favourite of the series (XC2 not that far behind it). The DLC is missing the Eunie-like character and the game is not the same without her IMO 😅

Children of Morta is really glitchy. If you keep playing for a while, the audio starts looping and echoing over and over until it's a headache-enducing slurry of noise, and then the game freezes and crashes. It happens fairly often.

Before watching SwitchUp regularly I honestly believe I’d only ever completed half a dozen games. Now the backlog is a mountainous shadow behind me, im in my late 40’s and I believe I’ve had a good 2.5 years of SwitchUp exposure; I confess that I’ve finished a bunch of games and I’m having a ball. This video list alone… Children of Morta - Completed. Loved it. Dead Cells - Completed (5BC). Hands down my favourite game in the last 5 years. Sine Mora Ex - Backlog Moonlighter - Completed. Loved it. All 3 hidden gems look great. Time to check if my wallet scars have healed and it’s ready for another battering.
