Battles are extremely repetitive, turn-based and frequent. There's a massive quest to retrieve crystals and many side quests with characters you'll meet along the way.

The art is beautiful, though, with a hand-drawn feel that blends a bit of classic RPG games with a new 3D touch. The storyline is extremely packed with little dialogue-filled moments and with characters that feel pretty awkwardly written. My list of 'RPGs I Keep Meaning To Get To' has piled up like novels on my bookshelf.īravely Default 2 hasn't grabbed me so far. If you've never played Zelda: Skyward Sword, that's coming too. Project Triangle Strategy is on its way (there's a demo to play for free now). There's Divinity: Original Sin 2, which I also haven't played. There's Pokemon Sword/Shield (an RPG, really). There's Fire Emblem: Three Houses (more of a strategy game with many, many characters). There's Octopath Traveler, also by Square Enix. There are RPGs like Dragon Quest XI, or Xenoblade Chronicles (and Xenoblade Chronicles 2). If you want a great adventure game on the Switch, obviously, there's Breath of the Wild. I have to admit, I stopped playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild dozens and dozens of hours in, years ago, and then I forgot where I was and never got back into it again. I lose track of stories, unless I sit all the way through. I don't have much time - or memory retention - in my life for that. The Nintendo Switch is absolutely full of RPGs to play.
